On this day, January 16, 1987, the psychological thriller The Bedroom Window, directed by Curtis Hanson, premiered in theaters. Starring Steve Guttenberg, Elizabeth McGovern, and Isabelle Huppert, the film weaves a tense narrative of deceit, danger, and voyeurism.

The story follows Terry (Guttenberg), who becomes entangled in a murder investigation after witnessing an attack through his lover’s bedroom window. As lies and half-truths unravel, Terry finds himself in a precarious position, navigating the line between protecting his secret affair and exposing the real killer.

The Bedroom Window grossed $12.6 million at the box office, surpassing its $8.3 million budget. The film showcased Curtis Hanson’s skill in crafting suspenseful storytelling, which he later mastered with films like L.A. Confidential.

Fun Fact: This was one of Steve Guttenberg’s rare forays into drama, as he was primarily known for his comedic roles in films like Police Academy and Three Men and a Baby.

Trivia Question: What 1997 neo-noir film earned Curtis Hanson an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay?
