Former footballer and present private detective Harry Moseby (Gene Hackman) gets hired on to what seems a standard missing person case, as an aging Hollywood actress whose only major roles came thanks to being married to a studio mogul wants Moseby to find and return her stepdaughter. Harry travels to Florida to find her, but he begins to see a connection with the runaway girl, the world of Hollywood stuntmen, and a suspicious mechanic when an unsolved murder comes to light. |

This image looks quite good, but also a little dated showing a very pasty appearance at times. I don't see any manipulation, it is progressively transferred and is 16X9 enhanced. I suspect that this is exactly how the film looked theatrically. Although skin tones tend to look red, it is Florida (Sanibel island). Our protagonist in the film makes a rather disconcerting remark about one of my favorite directors (Eric Rohmer) but I'll let that pass :). A real
noir-ish style representation that got some noted acclaim. Hackman is,
as always, a great lead. I wasn't overly impressed with the short
featurette included but I suppose it was available and nothing else
could be dug up. Original audio is flat and unremarkable - subtitles are
excellent. A reasonably priced DVD recommended for Hackman lovers
and fans of the thriller/gumshoe genre. This one is worth it!
