Harper is brought to Louisiana bayou country to help out an old girlfriend who is worried that her husband will find out that she is cheating on him. What is more, he finds himself caught in a power struggle between the matriarch of the family and a greedy oil baron, who wants her property. Poor Harper! Things are not as straight-forward as they initially appeared.
A big-city private detective travels to the Deep South to help out an old girlfriend who is worried that her husband will find out that she is cheating on him.
This is follow up to &quot;Harper&quot; and Paul Newman reprises his role as a private detective loosely based on Ross MacDonald&#39;s Lew Archer. 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 Griffith (as a teen), Tony Franciosa (doing a very good job acting) and a stellar supporting cast. There are a lot of twists and turns, a lot of dialog, one shootout - it&#39;s Newman as Harper! Set in pre-Katrina New Orleans, &quot;The Drowning Pool&quot; is a rich stew of intrigue, great cast performances and classic MacDonald twists and turns within a dangerously dysfunctional family. Paul Newman completely inhabits Lew Harper&#39;s character, the settings are alternately grand and deliciously seedy, and the cinematography is excellent. A very young Melany Griffith place the infant terrible&#39; 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. There&#39;s also some interesting plot points involving oil off the coast, and the resulting corruption of the police as money was shovelled around to secure drilling rights.<br/><br/>Overall rating: 8 out of 10.
&quot;The Drowning Pool&quot; is an unusual film because it&#39;s a sequel to a film made nine years earlier. In 1966, Paul Newman starred in an excellent detective film, &quot;Harper&quot;. Now here in 1975, Lew Harper is back and working for a family in Louisiana. Like Harper of old, this one is very bright but also far from perfect--and gets the crap kicked out of him periodically.<br/><br/>As far as the story goes, the plot is a bit complicated. It&#39;s also initially not super-interesting. Hold on...resist that urge to turn it off. This is because despite the many different directions the film goes, by the end of the film it all comes together and there are a lot of exciting moments. One of the best is the water scene-- a huge and impressive bit of camera-work that you just have to see to believe. Another is the ending and the many little surprises that occur. <br/><br/>The bottom line is that this is just a film you need to see to understand and appreciate. Well made and well worth seeing.
This second time around for Harper is a lackluster workout despite its colorful settings, occasional tension and a cast that includes Joanne Woodward (Mrs. Newman). As a convoluted caper it generates action rather than character and surface mystery rather than meaning.
