Pakula perfectly manages the different elements: the script (a little bit complex), the photo of NYC, lights, decors, music, sets, the end also. The poisonous atmosphere is totally convincing. What a casting too: Sutherland, ambiguous, seducing, and Fonda, real and gorgeous, impressive and destroyed. Realy top. A movie to see and see again. Just a lesson.

Sutherland's character is a perfect complement to what she does and he is very very good, but Fonda is a revelation. For anyone studying David Fincher, <em>Klute</em> would probably be the first lesson of class. Thanks for commenting!

Ialso recall a particularly strong scene between Fonda and a client near the beginning of the picture.
