In Klute, straight-laced detective John Klute (Donald Sutherland) must find a business executive who has disappeared into the sleaze of early 1970's New York. With the help of a high-class call girl (Jane Fonda), he gathers clues from a world defined by sexual desire and secrecy. Fonda delivers a great performance and the character of Klute may remind Ross MacDonald fans of his famous detective, Lew Archer. Although I dislike romances, I was as interested in the romance between Sutherland and Fonda as the mystery. It makes a great double feature with Taxi Driver - both films deal with similar themes and have the same setting, but these two masterpieces couldn't be more different. Highly Recommended.

terrific example of everything wonderful about how gritty 70's cinema was. excellent performances all around. unsettling and effective use of sparse scoring. jane fonda deserved the heck out of her oscar for best actress for this performance. wonderful film!

I love this film! It was truly produced well between the air of creepiness in the cinematography, certain settings of the film and the soundtrack! Sutherland is truly a great actor. If you like this film, you should also see "Don't Look Now"......

One of the all-time great murder mysteries to come out of the early 70s free love and drug scene. Outstanding acting from both leads. Tension builds slowly to a stunning ending.
