Klute

• OSCAR WINNER:
• Best Actress - Jane Fonda

Jane Fonda took home the Academy Award for her haunting portrayal of a high-priced call girl being stalked by a psychopath. Donald Sutherland co-stars as the reluctant private eye who arrives in New York in his search for a missing suburban husband, but ends up protecting this prostitute whose path he's crossed.

Master filmmaker Alan J. Pakula (All the President's Men, Sophie's Choice, Presumed Innocent) directed this romantic detective-thriller/character study and the screenplay received an Academy Award nomination.

"I love inhibitions because they're so nice to get rid of," New York call girl Bree Daniels says. Her ordered life will soon veer wildly out of control. The man hearing her taped voice has gone far beyond inhibitions. He's a killer. As detective John Klute, Sutherland gives a cool performance devoid of screen sleuth cliches. And Fonda makes Bree a shattering tour-de-force.
