"Hello, Clarice."
Dr. Hannibal Lecter's chilling greeting to Clarice Starling is etched in the memory of anyone who has seen the award-winning film, The Silence of the Lambs. Although this is not a legal drama, in the sense that there is no courtroom action or lawyerly wrangling, it is an excellent, suspense-filled movie in the broader crime genre.
The movie faithfully creates the world and story imagined by Thomas Harris. A young FBI trainee is sent to gather information about a currently-active serial killer, Buffalo Bill, from a manipulative, experienced, and frightening serial killer known as Hannibal the Cannibal.
The relationship of mutual respect and qui pro quo that develops between Agent Starling and Dr. Lecter is at the heart of the emotional story, as the FBI uses Dr. Lecter's information to hunt down Buffalo Bill.
