“In search of a killer, he finds someone who’s either the love of his life or the end of it.”

Pascal Fintoni and Roger Edwards go back to 1989 with this superb police procedural film-noir with brilliant comedic moments between Al Pacino and John Goodman and erotic chemistry between Pacino and Ellen Barkin.

'Sea of Love' paved the way for the Femme Fatale films of the 1990s such as 'Basic Instinct', 'La Femme Nikita', and 'Final Analysis'.

We look at the brilliant posters, the lobby cards (these were the days!), the TV spots, the soundtrack, the different versions from big screens to TV and DVD releases - and reflect on how the film benefited from the return of Al Pacino after a 4-year absence.

We also consider whether the name of the film should have been different. Would adopting the literal translation of the French title have worked better?
