Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a drama film directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Kevin Spacey, John Cusack, Jack Thompson, Irma P. Hall, Jude Law, Sonny Seiler, Leon Rippy, Richard Herd, Bob Gunton and Paul Hipp. The film was a American production and a adaptation of the novel of the same name by author John Berendt. There was a great deal of controversy over the advertising of the film due to the fact that it used elements of Jack Leigh's photography without permission. The plot of the film revolves around a man named Jim Williams whom is currently on trial for murder (portrayed by Spacey). A reporter visiting the city (Savannah, Georgia) has his interest piqued by the story of the local billionaire murder trial and decides to investigate. The reporter (played by Cusack) eventually befriends Williams which only further complicates the case. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is loosely based upon true life events of James "Jim" Williams.
