		Both Dershowitz and Von Bulow said four factors enabled the overturn of Von Bulow's earlier conviction: inconsistent testimony by the prosecution's witnesses, the develoment of a stronger medical case by the defense, the inclusion of evidence excluded at the first trial, and the exclusion of other evidence which had been admitted at the previous trial.
		Von Bulow disscussed at some length the "little fl bag" which was, in his words, the "smoking gun" in his case.
		Von Bulow concluded the prepared portion of his speed by reminding his listeners that the case was not melodramatic.

		Sunny was ill, she said, and Claus was unwilling to summon medical help, saying she’d merely had a rough night and was sleeping it off.
		Later, as she was walking past the von Bülows’ bedroom, Maria said she heard moaning as if someone were quite ill. Ignoring Claus’ orders to leave Sunny alone, she entered her mistress’s bedroom to find Sunny lying in one of the two twin beds, unconscious.

		Von Bulow is not only upper class and hideously rich, he's patronising, aloof, full of hideously false politesse and borderline racist.
		She's not much more alive in the flashbacks than she is in the hospital bed and it's hard not to wonder why, if Von Bulow did kill her, he waited so long to do it when (on the evidence of this film) she was clearly a pain from the first day they met.
		Von Bulow is in a chemist in New York during the appeal and he asks for a phial of insulin.

		A Danish aristocrat living in Rhode Island, Von Bulow was convicted in 1982 of trying to kill his wife, Sunny, in the winter of 1980, by giving her an overdose of insulin, which sent her into a coma (Sunny also had an insulin attack in December of 1979, but she woke up from that).
		Von Bulow then hired Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor and part-time lawyer, to represent him during his appeal.
		Part of why Von Bulow was convicted in the first trial is that he came across as a cold personality.

		Finally, the physicians chalked up the coma to the low blood sugar and diagnosed Sunny as being hypoglycemic, which means that her body was capable of producing insulin, but if she overindulged in sweets or went too long without eating, she could trigger another incident.
		Several weeks later, Maria found her first clue that Claus was involved in Sunny’s collapse.
		Claus was out of town and oblivious to Maria and Ala’s activities.

		Claus was (is) a very tall, large-bonned, sinisterly attractive man-about-town, a strange mixture of outward solidity and inner sociopathic deviousness.

		Her husband, Claus von Bülow, is accused by his stepchildren, Prince Alexander von Auersperg and Princess Ala, and by Sunny's very convincing personal maid, of injecting Sunny with insulin and inducing the coma in order to gain control of his wife's fortune.
		After a lengthy trial in which the defense seemed to argue that too many sweets and too much alcohol — or maybe an attempted suicide — were responsible for Sunny's fate, von Bülow is convicted on two counts of attempted murder and sentenced to 30 years in prison.
		"[Claus] is shocked and incredulous that his stepchildren, whom he claims he thought of as his own and helped raise, have turned against him and will be the star prosecution witnesses at his trial."

		Dershowitz, who loves being in the limelight almost as much as he loves the law, took on the task of saving Claus Von Bulow from prison for the attempted murder of his rich wife initially as a means of raising money to help him in his pro bono cases.
		The irony is that as the case developed Dershowitz became persuaded that Claus was innocent.
		Whether Dershowitz convinced himself of Von Bulow's innocence to assuage a possibly guilty conscience is a good question.

		This film is far more than just the salacious filmed version of the tabloid scandal documenting Claus von Bulow's conviction and appeal on charges of twice attempting to murder his fabulously wealthy wife Sunny by injecting her with insulin.
		Von Bulow was wholly unsympathetic character, idle so-called `Eurotrash,' widely assumed to be slam-dunk guilty, even by the legal team representing him on appeal.
		Glenn Close, playing Sunny von Bulow, manages not to be overshadowed by Iron's performance even though her character spends most of the film in a coma.

		Dershowitz (Ron Silver) is hired by Claus von Bulow (Jeremy Irons) to defend him against charges that he attempted to murder his wife, Sunny (Glenn Close), who lies in a coma.
		As Dershowitz, aided by his eager law students, scrambles for ways to puncture the veracity of the charges against von Bulow, Sunny narrates flashback scenes that offer a frosted window into both the events leading up to her coma-inducing collapse and the strangely cold and alienating world of the superrich.
		Irons's von Bulow, a brilliant Academy Award-winning characterization, provides the creepy, complicated center for a film in which every surface is slippery and every truth has trailing behind it a sinuous shadow of doubt.

	Rotten Tomatoes: The Vine: Merwyn at the Movies
		When you're finished watching this film you are likely to believe two things: 1) Claus von Bulow got away with the attempted murder of his socialite wife because 2) his lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, is totally amoral.
		Anything damaging to Claus von Bulow is mentioned only if Dershowitz can rationalize it away; anything offered in defense of Sunny von Bulow's character (testimony or actions of friends and relatives) is rapidly discredited.
		The villain in Reversal of Fortune is not Claus von Bulow, who, as embodied by Jeremy Irons in a quirky one-note performance, seems to be his own worse enemy.

		The wealthy von Bulow made headlines in 1982 when he was convicted for the attempted murder his wife Sunny (after she was found in a coma, Claus was accused of giving her an unneeded shot of insulin to cause it — the judge slapped him with a 30 year stretch).
		Narrated by Sunny (Glenn Close) from her comatose state, the film is about how Dershowitz (Ron Silver) comes to defend von Bulow (Jeremy Irons), even though he finds Claus detestable and isn't entirely sure if he's innocent.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Reversal of Fortune \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		"Reversal of Fortune" is the story of the von Bulow case, with Jeremy Irons giving a fabulous performance as Claus von Bulow, shown as a pompous sort who is hated equally by all and, though he is rather distant and wry on the surface, is quite complex within.
		In a cinematic trick that would seem at first glance to be highly suspect, Kazan and Schroeder use Sunny von Bulow (Glenn Close) as the film's narrator — as she lies in a coma.
		Though there is a "Rashomon" effect, as we see from several points of view the events leading up to Sunny's slipping into a coma after an apparent insulin injection (she was not diabetic), what is at issue in the film is whether von Bulow got a fair trial the first time around.

		This is a fact-based crime drama recounts the case of socialite Claus von Bulow (Jeremy Irons, in a wonderfully droll, Oscar-winning performance) who was convicted of trying to murder his troubled wife Sunny (Glenn Close) with an injection of insulin.
		Claus (who was rumored to have done away with family members in Europe) had several affairs and Sunny was an alcoholic and a pill-popper.
		Even though the outcome of von Bulow's appeal is already known, Reversal of Fortune is nevertheless a suspenseful, intoxicating, and often funny expose of how von Bulow got his new day in court and won.
