. You're right; she is in it.
Klute
is the earliest credit on her IMDb list.

Oh, that's right! I think I remember Jean Stapleton appearing. It's been over a year since I started this thread and that was the first and last time I saw
Klute
. Eventually, I'll have to revisit it.

9/10
I think the film has aged very well (which has nothing to do with some styles looking dated). This may be Jane Fonda's best performance, although there many in her impressive body of work. The wonderful cinematography of Gordon Willis and the subtle acting of Donald Sutherland are also key elements of this fine drama. While the missing person part of the tale is not central when compared to the character study, the film works as thoughtful drama for adults. Prostitution was usually glamorized by Hollywood, and the value of therapy had rarely been explored (outside of The Three Faces of Eve). The Sopranos and In Treatment owe propers to Klute.
On a minor note, when we first see Bree settle in alone at home she curls up with Sun Signs, a then new and popular book on Astrology by Linda Goodman. This choice struck me as very much in keeping with Bree's search for answers and a way out of her current situation. The best films pay attention to detail; more is revealed upon subsequent viewings. -

7 out of 10, I just barely liked it. I found it a bit slow and Bree to be a bit harsh and annoying and unsympathetic much of the time. My girlfriend made the comment that this is more of a chick movie, it is about Bree and her need to find a strong man to protect her. She is somewhat right about that fact.

9 out of 10 from me. Fonda and Sutherland are both splendid in their roles, plus I loved the strong uneasy atmosphere that was positively oozing with dread and paranoia.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
