Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Tom Hutchinson

Despite its title, this brilliantly self-conscious gumshoe movie by director Arthur Penn lights up a time of post-Watergate confusion as weary private eye Gene Hackman seeks a client's lost daughter and his own lost honour. It's a bleak, pointless quest, encapsulated by the final shot of a boat going round in circles, but along the way there's plenty of sour wit in Alan Sharp's sparkling script. An enigmatic masterpiece whose pleasures are allusive and entirely cinematic. Melanie Griffith plays the missing daughter in her third screen role.
