Harper - DVD

Paul Newman stars in the unforgettable title role of the box office blockbuster based on Ross MacDonald's book, The Moving Target. The first whodunit of Newman's career, then numbering twenty-three films, literally resurrected the genre.Harper stalks and eludes detection as he uncovers the truth in a tangled case of kidnapping and murder. William Goldman's clever script will entertain and guide you through the world of "typically odd" California characters. You'll meet a rich lady (Lauren Bacall), an armed lawyer (Arthur Hill), a beach gigolo (Robert Wagner), a sunset movie star with a penchant for alcohol (Shelley Winters), a jazz addict (Julie Harris) and Harper's estranged wife (Janet Leigh). And to top it all off, an unholy order from the Temple of Clouds led by Strother Martin. Any one of them could hold the key to murder or a bullet for Harper.
