Paul Newman vehicle, "Harper."
If you like Newman, he's at his muggy, winking, ingratiatingly "best" in this action/thriller.
By all means, and for different reasons, do not miss the horrendous sequel, The Drowning Pool, starring the worst New Orleans accent ever. Tony Franciosa should have been forced to march naked down Bourbon St. for his portrayal of a NO detective.
