Donald Sutherland, Jane Fonda d/ Alan Pakula
This was a big hit forty years ago...saw it then and liked it. Liked it this time too, Odd uncomfortable tone throughout, hanging sense of menace.
Mixed feelings about Jane this time. Something about the way she delivered lines made her sound fake. The 'love' story was so subdued it almost wasn't there. DS was stone-faced and unaffected...he didn't give her anything to push back against.
Still, there were many nice touches with sound, music, camera and lighting. Overall a quality film but has lost some freshness.
