White Palace is a 1990 romance movie starring Susan Sarandon and James Spader.White Palace tells the tale of young advertising executive Max Baron (Spader) who, since the accidental death of his wife, has shut out the world. He finds himself opened again, however, after a chance meeting with burger joint waitress Nora Baker (Sarandon) that leaves him spellbound despite their 16 year age difference (Baker being the older).
There is plenty keeping them from enjoying each other. Max is sophisticated and refined, while Nora enjoys beer and lives in a low-rent, messy house. They maintain a relationship, however - that is, until Nora learns that Max is keeping their relationship a secret (and, he thinks, a rather shameful one) from the upper-class circles that he’s used to socializing in.
Will the secret keep them from being together? Or can Max admit that he feels passionately towards the older woman regardless? Check it out and find out.
