Abstract A review of Francis Ford Coppola's film adaptation of the best selling novel by John Grisham, 'The Rainmaker'. The paper discusses how the film explores several legal and ethical issues primarily associated with the evils of a huge and uncaring insurance company.
From the Paper "Baylor even comments to Shifflet early in the film about the lack of ethics and loss of dignity that he is experiencing by drumming up business in hospitals from people injured in accidents. Another scene from the hospital continues the commentary on lawyers and their ethics. Baylor meets and hopes to represent a young woman, Kelly Riker, who has been beaten by her husband. As he tries to make her acquaintance and ingratiate himself as a lawyer, she challenges him by reminding him of the types of cases that lawyers sometimes take such as defending murderers, rapist, and child molesters. Baylor pauses a moment to reflect before declaring himself a civil lawyer as if to distance himself from the charges. However, Baylor understands the criticism and it stands to remind the audience of the position of lawyers in the society."
