An uncorrupted detective (Donald Sutherland) from rural Pennsylvania travels to New York City to investigate the disappearance of a local businessman, his only contact being a high rent prostitute (Jane Fonda, an Oscar winner). When his missing person turns out to be a thread in a string of murders, he becomes his new acquaintance's protector and then lover as she becomes the bait to lure the deadly killer. Klute is a well made, typically murky, and often frustrating Alan Pakula film that fits in nicely alongside some of the other thrillers he made in that time frame (The Parallax View, All the President's Men). Fonda is assuredly powerful and sexy and Sutherland makes a nice counter as her introverted partner.
