A Terrific Thriller.......2007-02-07
Klute is the first of the Pakula conspiracy trilogy.
Detective John Klute, played by Donald Sutherland is on the search for a missing person-his best friend who enlists the assistance of a prositute, known by Bree Daniels, played by Jane Fonda. Bree is a call girl or was one until recently, but belittled by the sudden disapperance and death of her friend, also gets tied in...
Klute is a thriller, where it keeps you guessing, how or who is behind these vicious crimes of justice. Pakula hides the criminal from view, with clues arising from mainly people living in the underworld, often working alongside Bree, where the personalities are put on show with detail.
Jane Fonda plays her breakthrough role, studing the art of the business from real life live-in pimps and those associated. Daniels is protrayed as being as weary, moody, lively and always injective to tell the truth that Klute is assigned to ask for. Bree also finds her life is at the tail end of the telephone wire, where anyone can call at anytime.
Donald Sutherland plays John Klute, who is protrayed as being passive, frustated but also soothing and fearing.
Klute is a terrific thriller, that stands the test of time, enjoy it and watch it, but always pay attention.
Jane Fonda in an Oscar-winning performance.......2005-10-11
Respected businessman,Tom Gruneman, has disappeared, and his friend, detective John Klute (Donald Sutherland), is on the case. There is only one clue: An obscene letter written by Tom to a New York City call girl named Bree (Jane Fonda). Klute finds her and enters her tawdry world; gradually they fall for each other. As one clue leads to another, two of Bree's friends are killed, and it's clear that she is being stalked by a madman.
Fonda certainly deserved her Best Actress Oscar for this raw and powerful role. Bree is bold and confident on the job, but terrified of feeling any real emotion. She is vulnerable and afraid for her life, and even more afraid of actually caring for Klute. Sutherland is very good as the poker-faced detective who is initially repulsed by Bree's life. Roy Scheider has a small but memorable role as a ruthless pimp. Michael Small's eerie soundtrack is guaranteed to give you chills, and the taut script will keep you on the edge of your seat. This scary thriller (with no violence) has lost none of its intensity since 1971; it delivers top-notch performances.

My kids (and I) love these titles.......2006-08-07
My two young daughters really love all the Barbie movies - including the four in this collection. Even my wife and I enjoyed sitting through the films (up till around the 100th time). Princess and Pauper is the latest film out of the four, and the animation is the best amongst the four. As for actual story telling, I rate these as good as any classic Disney filmes. On the animation front, it's catching up fast too.
Other than the four films in this collection, my kids almost love the more recent FairyTopia, and the even newer Mermaidia.
excellent value for money and good entertainment value.......2005-07-13
I am 21 and accidentally saw Rapunzel one night when I wanted to watch something. The animation is excellent as is the storytelling. I then watched the rest of the series but my favourites are Princess and the Pauper and Rapunzel (I especially love the music and the 'outtakes').
I watched Sindy as a comparison and was really disappointed with the animation and story-telling but I was always a Barbie fan. The animation quality is equal to that of Toy Story.
Keep up the good work Barbie!
