Dead Again is a 1991 psychological thriller/neo-noir written by Scott Frank and directed by Kenneth Branagh. It stars Branagh and his then-wife Emma Thompson, and co-stars Andy García, Derek Jacobi, Wayne Knight, and Robin Williams. Dead Again was a moderate box-office success and was positively received by the majority of critics. For their work on the film, Derek Jacobi was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role and Patrick Doyle, who composed the film's music, was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Original Score. The film begins with opening credits... intercut with pans across newspaper clippings about a society murder committed by conductor-composer Roman Strauss . Most of the articles were written by Gray Baker , who visited Strauss on the day of his execution. The gates of a mansion in the past fade into the same gates in the present day, now the grounds of a Catholic orphanage. As the main narrative begins, we meet Mike Church , a smart-alecky Los Angeles private investigator whose jobs usually involve running down deadbeats and finding missing persons.
