| Klute | comment |
Klute is a 1971 crime thriller film directed by Alan J. Pakula, starring Jane Fonda, Donald Sutherland, Charles Cioffi, and Roy Scheider.When Pennsylvania businessman Tom Gruneman (Robert Milli) goes missing, his wife hires John Klute (Sutherland), a family friend and private detective, to find him. The only real lead is some obscene letters Gruneman had allegedly written to Bree Daniels (Fonda), a call girl in New York City who was once high-priced, but after being busted by the police is struggling to make ends meet. Klute tracks down Bree, who reluctantly agrees to help trace Gruneman's whereabouts.Fonda won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance. | |

All Men Are Perverts | |
| Klute / int_129749df | comment |
All Men Are Perverts: Played straight — Bree describes some of the acts she puts on for clients, and especially played straight with Peter Cable, the real killer — but also averted, particularly with Klute, to the amusement of Bree: | |

The Stoic | |
| Klute / int_1c5002bc | comment |
The Stoic: Klute rarely shows emotions or even changes his expression. We see him smile twice in the whole film. This makes the scene where he snaps all the more effective (see Berserk Button above). | |

| Klute / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Cable works out that Tom's searching for an incriminating address book is a ruse to draw him out. But he also notes that the police won't be slow behind to suspect him either and the jig is up. | |

| Klute / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Played straight at first (which is why Klute gets hired in the first place), but ultimately subverted; Klute works closely with the police once he's in the city. | |

Pet the Dog: One of Bree's clients is an elderly garment factory owner who's probably only gone on vacation for one week in his life, so all she does is pretend to have just come back from an exotic vacation (which she describes in detail) and let him look at her breasts. | |
