   else. One of my favorite Hollywood films, I thought I'd watch the first ten   
   minutes and move on. That    
   didn't happen. It's that kind of movie.

   is about John Klute (Donald Sutherland) and his investigation into his missing   
   friend. The trail leads to a New York City prostitute named Bree Daniels (Jane   
   Fonda) who may or    
   may not have useful information. Everybody has a secret and few are talking.   
   This is the first installment of Alan J Pakula's paranoid trilogy that   
   followed with The Parallax View and All The President's Men.
