Product Description

Night Moves (DVD)

Harry Moseby (Gene Hackman) is a run-of-the-mill, bottom-of-the-barrel private eye who spends his working hours staking out divorce disputants, chasing runaways, and tracing missing persons. That is, until he's called in to find a beautiful teenaged runaway, Delly Grastner (Melanie Griffith). The mystery deepens as Moseby's pursuit of Delly leads him into a labyrinth of crime.

Melanie Griffith in this one !
A private detective is hired by a former Hollywood actress to bring her runaway daughter back from Florida.Melanie Griffith had JUST turned 18 while filming this one. And yes, she had more than one nude scene. Gene Hackman puts in a solid performance (as always). A few scenes are somewhat improbable but, this still an enjoyable watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Underdog of the 1970s PI Films
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2008

I'm a big fan of private eye movies and television series. I'm glad THE ROCKFORD FILES has finally come out on DVD, but I'm still waiting for MARLOWE, starring James Garner and Bruce Lee.

However, I don't have an excuse for not having already seen Night Moves. It's been out for over thirty years, and I bought the DVD a year ago. I did finally get around to watching it, though, and it was as good as I'd hoped it would be.

The story is pure 1970s, as evidenced by the cars, clothing, and some of the language. But it also tells a timeless story of confusion and betrayal, and the layers of secrets that add to those.

Gene Hackman stars as Harry Moseby, an ex-football player rather than an ex-cop. Moseby has been broken down by family problems and the loss of his career, and seems to be barely hanging onto life by a thread. Only the occasional missing persons case appears to keep him financially afloat and emotionally anchored.

Hackman has always been a personal favorite of mine. He can pull off any kind of role and look good doing it, even if the film is total cheese. He's just a guy I look at and immediately respect. His everyman stance and his charm just oozes from every pore. As Moseby, he was a well-known football hero, and a lot of his friends still see him as a standup guy, but he doesn't let anyone in too close.

Unfortunately, that same inability for closeness is what ultimately undermines his relationship with his wife, Ellen (Susan Clark). When he first gets handed the case of the little runaway rich girl, Moseby isn't too interested. Then he catches his wife cheating on him and tries to lose himself in the investigation.

I liked the way the movie dovetailed back into the movie industry the way some of the old 1940s movies did. Some of the best cinematic detectives have their roots in the twisted and sordid tales that came out of Hollywood. This one has stuntmen and used up actors to season the tale, and it adds more credibility to it.

The Florida footage on the case was extremely well done as well. Director Arthur Penn (LITTLE BIG MAN, BONNIE AND CLYDE) manages the Hollywood and LA scenes well, then zips the viewer down for a peak at what was then Travis McGee's tramping grounds as John D. MacDonald wrote his adventures. I liked the rough and tumble atmosphere of the land, the characters, and the twists and turns the plot took while down there. Jennifer Warren plays femme fatale Paula in a haunting and sexy scene.

Some of the most fun was watching a very young James Woods and Melanie Griffith taking their places on the stage. Woods hasn't changed much, but his presence on the screen is intense these days. He's another one of my favorites. Melanie Griffith, young and hot and nude in several scenes, just burns up the celluloid.

I really enjoyed Hackman's work in this movie. As I said, I own it and intend to watch it again. I'd really advise picking up TWILIGHT, with Paul Newman, Susan Sarandon, James Garner, and Hackman to really round out a double feature private eye/noir night. Hollywood seldom makes films like these any more and it's a shame.

4.0 out of 5 stars SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH IS OFTEN EASIER THAN FACING IT
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2012
Verified Purchase
Tawdry, 70's head-scratcher of a detective flick with Gene Hackman playing a private investigator [PI] getting big bucks for locating the flighty 16-year old daughter of an affluent ex-actress. Concurrently, the ex-football star is getting two-timed by his wife with a guy who has a gimpy leg. Melanie Griffith plays the rowdy, promiscuous and itinerant teen, reprising her similar [and memorable] role opposite Paul Newman in THE DROWNING POOL earlier that same year of of 1975. Susan Clark [with Clint Eastwood in COOGAN'S BLUFF, 1968] plays Hackman's unfulfilled and ambivalent spouse.

Hackman's search for the teen takes him from trendy suburban LA and a lot of stuntmen pals to the bedraggled Florida Keys where the kid is holed up with her step-dad and his lady friend in a trashy shore house. The dad, a puffy, glib, overly-congenial maritimer is played particularly well by vet actor John Crawford---his specious manner and veiled virulence sensed throughout. A strikingly attractive Jennifer Warren plays the oddball and enigmatic lady friend---your're never sure if she's just being coy and furtive or if she has serious mental health issues, or both---a very cool and crafty performance.

The teen adamently refuses to return to LA with Hackman but changes her mind when she comes upon a corpse while diving off the Keys. The PI comforts the shaken, bawling teen that night, the big lug showing he has a soft spot and realizing that his target is just a deprived, neglected and probably misguided child. Also probably vicariously comforting himself as much in the lives of both teen and PI seem to run in parallel: both victims of abandonment, betrayal and sexual deviancy [incest versus adultery], and both having few and tenuous supports. Each of their lives is devoid of loyalty, fidelity or truth. The kid runs on hormones and reflexes while Hackman is actuated by job, pride and ego. Both are pawns in the lives of others: the teen by her narcissistic, self-serving mom and Hackman by his spouse, friends and clients.

Once back in LA the teen is killed in a rather reckless auto mishap involving a stunt car. A shaken Hackman confronts the kid's mom, accusing her of abandonment and of using her daughter for personal gain. You always sympathize with nice-guy Hackman, the childless ex-jock getting blindsided by his spouse with a literally lame 'sideliner' yet able to empathize with, and willing to procure justice for, a deluded kid---and he has an admirable work ethic.

One key scene has Hackman telling his wife about the time he tracked down the father he never knew. He found his dad sitting on a bench one day but could not get himself to approach or confront him, deciding to just walk away. Interesting paradox of a detective, whose job is to find the truth about people, not able to face the truth about himself: not wanting to know how his father will react or why his spouse has sought fulfillment in another. It's that common fear that we all have: despite vocations, roles and accomplishments which we often subjectively feel have been successfully implemented, the latter may not be the case. We often fear objective truth as the pain it can cause could impair our ability to function.

Hackman, who has a liking for playing chess, finally gets his fill of all the nonsense and dead ends and deduces that all the weird characters around him [including spouse] are playing HIM---faking him out with lies, money, hospitality, pats on the back and even sex. The diversion is short-lived, however, as the savvy PI is finally able to abrogate the fun stuff and focus on facts, motives and behavior in his search for the truth.

You'll get a kick out of seeing a very young James Woods as the teen's freaky, on-and-off, boyfriend. I think this film will be interesting to fans of those sexually frank and offbeat, late 60's/early 70's, watershed detective flicks like TONY ROME [1967], THE DETECTIVE [1968] and THE DROWNING POOL [1975]---the very best of these being CHINATOWN [1974].

Es ist immer wieder erstaunlich, wie gut solche nun etwa 50 Jahre alte Filme sind. Die Qualität der CD ist auch gut, wenn auch nicht wie heute in HD. Wie bei einer guten Story üblich ist nichts und niemand so wie es zuerst scheint und niemand ist ganz unschuldig. Heilige gibt es nicht im richtigen Leben.

Magnifique film d'Arthur Penn, avec l'immense Gene Hackman dans ses œuvres. Le détective comme on aime, un paumé à la Chandler, faussement violent et paumé, qui sait retourner les situations et les pièges à son avantage. Le tout pris dans l'atmosphère des films des années 60: cadillacs, ford mustangs et jolies dames américaines toutes blondes, qui émaillent le rêve américain. Encore une fois Gene Hackman crève l'écran et porte l'histoire à bout de bras. À noter l'apparition extraordinaire d'un Mélanie Griffith prépubaire, une vamp bébé qui joue les Lolita comme pas une.

Das »Lexikon des internationalen Films« bezeichnete Arthur Penns unorthodoxe Mischung aus neo noir und Thriller als »nüchternen Detektivfilm, der vor allem durch die Darstellerleistungen und psychologische Profilierung fesselt«. Darüber hinaus sei der Film »eine […] reizvolle Neubelebung klassischer Detektivfilme der Vierzigerjahre, akzentuiert durch Kommentare zur (damaligen) amerikanischen Gegenwart, die sich zu einem subtilen Psychogramm des Landes verdichten«.

Harry Moseby (Hackman) ist ein pensionierter Profi-Footballspieler, der mittlerweile als Privatdetektiv in Los Angeles arbeitet. Er findet heraus, dass seine Frau Ellen (Clark) eine Affäre mit einem Mann namens Marty Heller (Harris Yulin) hat und sich nicht gerade diskret verhält. Der Seitensprung seiner Frau stellt Harry vor seine größte private Herausforderung. Und es gibt auch »richtige« Arbeit: Eines Tages engagiert ihn die abgehalfterte Ex-Schauspielerin Arlene Iverson (Ward), ihre abtrünnige Tochter Delly (Griffith) ausfindig zu machen. Die minderjährige Nymphe ist nämlich Arlenes Goldesel, denn nur über sie kommt die Alte an das Geld ihres ersten Ex-Manns. Harry vermutet, dass die durchtriebene Delly versucht, die Ex-Geliebten ihrer Mutter zu verführen, und reist zu den Florida Keys, wo ihr Stiefvater Tom Iverson (John Crawford) lebt. Harry findet Delly bei Tom und dessen aparter Freundin Paula (Warren). Schon kurz nach seiner Ankunft in Florida stößt Harry bei einem harmlosen nächtlichen Bootsausflug auf eine Leiche. Und das ist erst der Anfang…

Das private Drama des abgewrackten Ermittlers ist dem vertrackten Intrigenspiel des Jobs ebenbürtig; »Night Moves« gibt seinem Hauptdarsteller Hackman alle Werkzeuge an die Hand, um eine psychologisch fundierte, dreidimensionale Figur zu gestalten. Für ein exzellentes Spiel wurde der Star sowohl für einen BAFTA als auch für den Preis der New Yorker Filmkritiker nominiert. Das fabelhafte Drehbuch, aus dem Penn mit meisterlich leichter Hand ein altmodisch-spannendes Meisterwerk schuf, lässt sich reichlich Zeit und webt — ähnlich wie der im Dialog geschmähte Rohmer — den Zuschauer langsam in sein Netz hinein und bescheren ihm 100 spannende Minuten mit einem fulminanten Finale.
Nach einigen Statistenrollen spielte Melanie Griffith, zum Zeitpunkt der Dreharbeiten im Herbst 1973 gerade 16 Jahre jung, in »Night Moves« ihre erste wichtige Rolle, der kurz darauf ähnliche Auftritte in Filmen wie »The Drowning Pool« (Regie: Stuart Rosenberg, mit Paul Newman) und »Smile« (Regie: Michael Ritchie, mit Bruce Dern) folgten. Der exzentrische James Woods, Jahrgang 1947, hatte hier ebenfalls seine erste größere Rolle als ihr jähzorniger Ex. In einem Interview mit Larry King aus dem Jahre 2002 zählte Griffith »Night Moves« zu ihren vier wichtigsten Filmen. Ich stimme ihr zu.
