On this day, February 3, 1989, the romantic comedy Her Alibi premiered in theaters. Directed by Bruce Beresford, the film starred Tom Selleck as a mystery novelist who finds himself caught in a real-life crime when he falls for a beautiful woman accused of murder, played by Paulina Porizkova.
The film blended romance, comedy, and mystery, following Selleck’s character, Philip Blackwood, as he fakes an alibi for his new love interest, only to wonder if she might actually be guilty. With a budget of $15 million, Her Alibi earned $18 million at the box office. While it received mixed reviews upon release, it has since developed a nostalgic following, particularly among Selleck fans.
Fun fact: Paulina Porizkova, who played the female lead, was one of the most famous supermodels of the 80s and married The Cars’ lead singer Ric Ocasek in 1989, the same year Her Alibi was released.
