Night Moves
1975
Florida Keys
Arthur Penn
Crime Thriller Noir Love Story
What’s it all about: the other Jack Nicholson pokes around LA and the Florida Keys
First Encounter: First viewing; “no big stars” was a rule, but we brake for Gene Hackman
Prostitute Index: Low (Paula did some “hooking,” the “back door” men by Arlene’s pool)
Death By: Seaplane
Relics: Answering machines, halter tops, afternoon cocktails, turtlenecks; plum smuggling, “tits”, fondu while love making
Heartthrob: beyond the obvious, Anthony Costello
LoFi Magic: Gene Hackman’s comb over, hard-boiled dialogue, roundhouse stunt kick into porpoise pen
Makes me want to: open up a fish camp with Jennifer Warren
Worth a watch/rewatch: Yes. Ready to watch it again
