2014/15 Season

NIGHT MOVES

USA 1975 (18) 95 minutes Directed by Arthur Penn

Ipswich Film Theatre - 20 October 2014 - 7.30pm The second of the three collaborations of Gene Hackman and Penn (Bonnie and Clyde being the first). Hackman plays Harry Moseby, a hard-boiled Beverley Hills private detective (at the height of Hollywood’s revival of the genre) hired to search for a film star’s stepdaughter. AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Great score – Gene Hackman at his cool best. Well lit. Great scenery. Much enjoyed this film. Strong cast; Suspense, fine performances, great direction, good filming; Great to see those fashions again. Great story and character of Moseby. Pity about quality of film with some jumping between scenes; Fine acting, good suspense, incoherent story and soundtrack; A lot of clichés and nipples but a serious shortage of subtlety.
