Jane Fonda stars as a tough call girl--the role for which she won her first Academy Award--in this suspenseful and gritty mystery. When small town police detective John Klute (Donald Sutherland) comes to New York to investigate the disappearance of his best friend, his only lead is a letter to prostitute Bree Daniels (Fonda). As these two very different people discover a romantic attraction to each other, Klute realizes Daniels is the murderer's real target.

Critics Consensus: Donald Sutherland is coolly commanding and Jane Fonda a force of nature in Klute, a cuttingly intelligent thriller that generates its most agonizing tension from its stars' repartee.

Dave Giannini

In cinema, thankfully, there are no absolutes and no easy answers. Sure, there are generalities but a great film, especially with a transcendent performance, can take those rules and tear them into a million pieces.

It’s a cliché, but they simply don’t make thrillers like this anymore: smart, sharp, adult.

That it succeeds is mostly due to Fonda. Calling her performance powerhouse would be a grand understatement.

The film is meticulously made, offering a swirl of tension -- aided in this by Michael Small's haunting score -- and Fonda is indeed fantastic, even if the role she's playing happens to be a Hollywood staple of outdated moors.

Like other of Pakula's greatest films featuring phenomenal female leads, this is really a Jane Fonda picture you're watching, and it's impossible to forget it
