On this day in 1989, 20th CENTURY FOX released THE WAR OF THE ROSES. Directed by DANNY DeVITO from a script by MICHAEL LEESON, ROSES may be the most delightfully cynical film about marriage and divorce ever made. MICHAEL DOUGLAS and KATHLEEN TURNER play a couple who go from newly wedded bliss to the most vicious divorce imaginable in this terrific black comedy. Great fun.
