At the height of her fame as an actor and anti-war activist, Jane Fonda starred in her Oscar-winning role as a high-class Manhattan sex worker embroiled in a murder case. Commercially and critically successful on release, this is celebrated as much as a “neo-woman’s film” (Molly Haskell) as it is a neo-noir.

The innovative score by Michael Small, combined with a stylistic focus on aural surveillance, prophetically reflects the political paranoia of the era. Cinematography by frequent Pakula collaborator Gordon Willis (often called the “prince of darkness” for his work on this, The Godfather and several other films). With Donald Sutherland and Roy Scheider.
