CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Miss Birdie (Teresa Wright) instructs Rudy (Matt Damon) to leave her estate to a televangelist.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Francis Ford Coppola is both scripter and director of this drama adapted from the John Grisham novel about broke, inexperienced Memphis law-school graduate Rudy Baylor (Matt Damon), ready to take any job he can find. Signing on with slimy Bruiser Stone (Mickey Rourke), he learns ambulance-chasing tactics from Bruiser's leg man Deck Schifflet (Danny DeVito) and meets battered teen Kelly Riker (Claire Danes), abused by her husband (Andrew Shue). Baylor has his own clients -- friendly Miss Birdie (Teresa Wright), who has a large estate to dispose of, and desperate Dot Black (Mary Kay Place), whose son Donnie Ray (Johnny Whitworth) has terminal leukemia. Medical intervention could have spared his life, but the Great Benefit Insurance Company denied coverage, preventing Donnie Ray from getting a life-saving bone marrow transplant. Rudy finds a place to live in the apartment behind Miss Birdie's house. Deck and Rudy split from Bruiser to start their small firm. When they take on the Blacks' case, they go up against the insurance company's high-priced law firm and are continually thwarted by slick lawyer Leo F. Drummond (Jon Voight). Rudy's voiceover narration was scripted by Michael Herr. Filmed on location in Memphis.

Rudy baylor: My father
hated lawyers all his life.
He wasn't a great guy,
my old man.
He drank
and beat up my mother.
He beat me up, too.
So you might think
I became a lawyer
Just to piss him off,
But you'd be wrong.
I've wanted to be a lawyer
Ever since I read about
the civil rights lawyers
In the fifties and sixties
And the amazing uses
they found for the law.
They did what a lot
of people thought
Was the impossible.
They gave lawyers
a good name.
And so I went
to law school,
And it did
piss my father off,
But he was pissed off
anyway.
In my first year,
he got drunk one day
And fell of a ladder
Manufactured by the company
he worked for,
And he didn't know
who to sue first.
Now, he died a couple
months after that.
I'm empty.
Rudy: Now, some
of my classmates,
They knew they were going
straight from school
Into the top law firms,
