Editorial Review:
Harper, the wisecracking private investigator, goes to New Orleans to help out an old flame, Iris Deveraux. After the murder of her mother-in-law, someone implicates Iris and attempts to blackmail her. Harper has more suspects than he needs - Iris' sixteen-year-old Lolita-esque daughter, a former chauffer, a businessman and his kinky wife, and even Iris herself. What he uncovers is a web of tangled affairs and distractions all clouded by the murky water of the drowning pool.

Rating:  - An Oldie Excellent Movie To Watch
Bought this movie watched Newman In a Excellent performance as always.Give this movie 10 Stars********************
Rating:  - As a former New Orleanian....
...I find this a very entertaining film. Growing up in another state, this was my first introduction to southern Louisiana in any form and a teasing glimpse of the city I knew I must one day call home...at least for a while. I find the acting in this movie exquisite from the ENTIRE cast; this being almost the one time that I found any of Melanie Griffith's work to remotely resemble her talented mother's. As for the characters, having lived and travelled often in that part of the country I find them ... Read More
Rating: - Paul Newman delivers a great performance...
This mystery is a great way to showcase Paul Newman's superb acting skills. Without him, this film, would not have worked. The film is an odd mystery that takes many odd turns, without subtle hints that are few and far in-between, so, you'd assume figuring out who the killer is would be difficult. Yet, towards you get it right at the beginning, despite the fact they never investigate the suspcet you get a feeling of who it is. Paul Newman, none theless gave it all, as always. He is an amazing actor, ... Read More
Rating: - Newman in N'awlins...or at least Louisiana!
This fine film is not a mystery, though some methodical detective work occurs. It is not a drama, though some very broken lives are exposed. It is Paul Newman exploring the backwoods and bayous of Louisiana, meeting a host of eccentric--but not, as another reviewer suggested, unrealistic--characters driven by greed, envy, selfishness, and in Newman's case, personal integrity.
Look for Melanie Griffith as a terribly temptatious teenage tart. Look for Newman effortlessly reflecting his pity for ... Read More
Rating:  - you will drown
This movie was almost funny it was so bad. Imagine 'Chinatown' with worse acting, cliche one liners, cliche characters, cliche plot, cliche social tensions -you get the idea. For example: Paul Newman is a California private eye who goes to Louisianna for a job, so of course his west coast-hood runs into the cops and their southern-hood, a standoff of exchanging one line dialogues. But smooth ol' city boy talks his way good and doesn't get killed or shipped out of the state. The whole time I'm watching ... Read More
