Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Harper is a 1966 mystery thriller directed by Jack Smight, starring Paul Newman, with a screenplay by William Goldman.Lew Harper (Newman) is a rumpled, world-weary private detective who's in the middle of a divorce from his wife Susan (Janet Leigh). His friend Albert Graves (Arthur Hill), an attorney, brings him a job. Albert's client, Ralph Sampson, has disappeared. Sampson's embittered ex-wife Elaine (Lauren Bacall) certainly doesn't care if Ralph lives or dies, but hires Harper out of a sense of obligation more than anything else. Sure enough, Sampson has been kidnapped.Harper finds himself drawn into a mystery involving Sampson's sexy daughter Miranda (Pamela Tiffin), his pilot/flunkie Allan Taggert (Robert Wagner), drug-addicted nightclub singer Betty Fraley (Julie Harris), all-around sleazeball Dwight Troy (Robert Webber), and Troy's sad alcoholic wife, former actress Fay Estabrook (Shelley Winters).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Based on Ross MacDonald's Lew Archer novel The Moving Target. Newman reprised the Harper role in the 1975 film The Drowning Pool. | |

Casting Gag | |
| Harper / int_6ec4232f | comment |
Casting Gag For this film which bears an obvious debt to '40s Film Noir in general and the film version of The Big Sleep in particular, the producers got none other than Lauren Bacall to play the part of Sampson's cynical wife.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Adaptation Name Change | |
| Harper / int_dc057cf3 | comment |
Adaptation Name Change: In the novel, the protagonist was named Lew Archer. The Movie changed his name to Lew Harper because the producers bought the rights to the novel, but not the overall rights to the character. | |

Bad to the Last Drop | |
| Harper / int_f951f89b | comment |
Bad to the Last Drop: In the opening scene, Harper, realizing he is out of coffee, makes a cup from yesterday's coffee grounds, which he fishes out of the garbage. Judging by his grimace, the result is not good. | |
