The Butcher's Wife -- When Greenwich Village butcher Leo Lemke (George Dzundza) returns from a North Carolina fishing trip, he can't wait to show off his prize catch: his beautiful new wife, a country clairvoyant named Marina (Demi Moore). But the butcher's pride turns to prime concern when he hears gossip about a backwoods psychic whose charms are turning hardened city dwellers into lovestruck kids.

Black exploitation film featuring Pam Grier as a woman whose drug dealing brother ratted on her undercover cop boyfriend to the mob. Subsequently, the cop is murdered gangland style on Grier’s doorstep and she sets out to get revenge. Lots of shooting, fights, rapes, throat-cuttings and burnings.

When Greenwich Village butcher Leo Lemke (George Dzundza) returns from a North Carolina fishing trip, he can't wait to show off his prize catch: his beautiful new wife, a country clairvoyant named Marina (Demi Moore). But the butcher's pride turns to prime concern when he hears gossip about a backwoods psychic whose charms are turning hardened city dwellers into lovestruck kids. Dr. Alex Tremor (Jeff Daniels), the local psychiatrist, isn't convinced of Marina's so-called powers. But his textbooks can't explain the joy she spreads, or the growing attraction he feels toward her. Co-starring Mary Steenburgen, The Butcher's Wife is "a charming tale of romantic love and magical adventure" (David Sheehan, KNBC-TV Los Angeles).
