Gotham, also known as The Dead Can't Lie, is a 1988 American thriller television film written and directed by Lloyd Fonvielle and starring Tommy Lee Jones and Virginia Madsen.[1][2] The film aired on Showtime on August 21, 1988.
Down-and-out New York detective Eddie Mallard finds himself involved in the weirdest case of his career when a wealthy man asks for his help in stopping his ex-wife from harassing him. Mallard finds that the case may be too much for him when he discovers that the woman died ten years ago – and that he is falling in love with her.
Filming took place on location in New York City and Toronto.[2]
A reviewer for The Tampa Tribune criticized the film as "flat and dull".[3]
