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
