Wild Iris (2001)

Actors: Ralph Berge (miscellaneous crew), Ruth Secord (costume designer), Gary Lucchesi (producer), Daniel Petrie (director), Gena Rowlands (actress), Ingrid Veninger (actress), Miguel Sandoval (actor), Fred Ward (actor), Gerry Mendicino (actor), Laurence Rosenthal (composer), Boyd Banks (actor), Laura Linney (actress), David Sparrow (actor), Jane Conway (miscellaneous crew), Unjoo Lee Byars (miscellaneous crew),

Plot: A weary young woman, Iris Brevard, is forced to move in with her overbearing mother, Min, following her husband's suicide. She finds her only escape from her mother's badgering is to verbally fight back and to hide herself in an alcoholic haze. Unfortunately, her young teen son, Lonnie, observes all of this and finds himself torn between the two women. The older woman is multi-dimensional as she is clearly shown as manipulative and critical, but also as loving and charming. This is clearly shown in scenes with Fred Ward as the father of a bride-to-be who comes to the women's bridal gown shop to stop the purchase of his daughter's wedding dress. After facing Rowlands, he willingly writes the check for the next dress payment. The film also raises questions about whether Min was responsible for the suicide of Iris' husband. As Lonnie questions his father's death and is faced with similar pressures, he also clearly is considering his life options.

"Pilky" is depressed by this turn of events and more so when she learns that Breezy is engaged to Maybelle, an actress. Mulligan is also fired. The killer strikes again by killing stage producer Tommy-Gun Tucker and the Chicago detective decides to go back to the safe confines of the Windy City, leaving "Pilky" again in charge. She sees Maybelle take a note out of Tucker's pocket during the investigation. She filches the note and, through it, tracks down the killer as being town coroner Dr. Bleaker, who was mixed up in some shady deals with Tucker and Maybelle.
