Movie Reviews of The Drowning Pool
Movie Review: THE DROWNING POOL
Summary: 5 Stars
Harper is back and he finds himself right in the middle of another murder mystery. OK,so this 1976 sequel is not quite as good as the original but Harper still grabs your interest to the closing credits. Paul Newman is Harper who is a little older and a little wiser. His real wife,Joanne Woodard,is in the film and you can see real attraction in the scenes they do together. Rounding out the cast are Anthony Franciosa,Richard Jaeckel,Gail Strickland,Linda Haynes,and a very young Melanie Griffith. Harper is on the case so make it a movie night and watch THE DROWNING POOL for the water,the girls,the guns,and so much more!Movie Review: The Sequel to Harper
Summary: 5 Stars
I liked Newman so don't expect my review to be unbiased. The plot is based around Harper being a few years older but basically the same style PI you came to like in Harper. He is smart and has a drive to finish a case; even if he ends up in trouble. You get a mix of Joanne Woodward, Melanie Griffin (as a teen), Tony Franciosa (doing a very good job acting)and a stellar supporting caste. There are allot of twists and turns, allot of dialog, one shoot out - it's Newman as Harper not Jason Bourne!
I recommend that you whop up in bed with some popcorn, coca cola and both Newman Harper movies!
Movie Review: Paul Newman is good in any role
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Drowning Pool" the re-creation of the novel by RossMacDonald, who wrote the classic mystery tale of all time, "The List Adrian Messenger" gets its due reward on the silver screen fromm performances by Paul Newman and his wife,Joanne Woodward.
A very youngMelany Griffith place the enfant terrible' in this film, not bad for a kid breaking into the movie game. But the chief action focuses on Newman and he does not disappoint. Cool, vulnerable, tough, resourceful, caring and himself as Harper, a role he dons and plays, in my opinion, as well as anybody living or dead could have done it.
Movie Review: You'll love this movie if you're a detective film junkie.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a 1975 movie that Paul Newman reprised his role as Private Detective Lew Harper. He is hired by a former flame in New Orleans to investigate who is harassing her. There exists a substantial web of deceit and you don't know the "real" criminal until the end. I like this movie alot because of the storyline, excellent cast, location, and the lack of real nasty violence that exists in today's movies. This is a very original film you won't find much on cable.Movie Review: Best Paul Newman film
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not a Paul Newman fan but this movie is probably his best effort. He's a private eye down south and unravels a terrible mystery. A wonderful movie with a great ending.
