'Nadine' is a 1987 American crime comedy film written and directed by Robert Benton and starring Jeff Bridges (Vernon Hightower) and Kim Basinger (Nadine Hightower).

The plot concerns hairdresser Nadine Hightower (Kim Basinger) who wants to retrieve the risqué photos she once posed for, but when she visits the photographer (Jerry Stiller) at his office, he's murdered by an intruder. Nadine talks her estranged husband, Vernon (Jeff Bridges), into going along when she returns to the office, where they stumble across plans for a less than legal construction project. But when Vernon tries to turn the documents into a cash windfall, he and Nadine are pursued by goons with guns.

The film was written specifically for Kim Basinger. Shooting began on September 30, 1986 in Austin, Texas and further shooting took place in San Antonio. The framed picture of Jeff Bridges in a uniform in the film is taken from 'The Last Picture Show' (1971). Much of the soundtrack was provided by the country group Sweethearts of the Rodeo.
