David Lynch delivers his signature cinematic surrealism in this 1997 murder mystery starring Bill Pullman as a saxophonist accused of murdering his wife (Patricia Arquette). While on death row, he suddenly – inexplicably – changes into Pete Dayton, a young mechanic leading a completely different life.

When a vengeful New York transit cop decides to steal a trainload of subway fares, his foster brother—a fellow cop—tries to protect him.

Filmmaker Richard Brooks (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof) adapts the crime biography written by author Truman Capote. Nominated for Best Director, Screenplay, Cinematography and Original Music (by Quincy Jones) at the 1968 Academy Awards.
