Harper, the wisecracking private investigator, goes to New Orleans to help out an old flame, Iris Deveraux. After the murder of her mother- in-law, someone implicates Iris and attempts to blackmail her. Harper has more suspects than he needs - Iris' sixteen-year-old Lolita-esque daughter, a former chauffer, a businessman and his kinky wife, and even Iris herself. What he uncovers is a web of tangled affairs and distractions all clouded by the murky water of the drowning pool.

Only of you are boredA mildly interesting diversion…that was my impression as well. If you are a Paul Newman fan that is all it is. If you are looking for something truly outstanding, you will not be satisfied with this little piece. I recommend it to those who are curled up on the couch with a BIG bottle of wine on a Friday night with nothing to do, nowhere to go and no one to distract you..Score: 3/5

Paul Newman - Private EyeA good movie, Paul Newman is always great on the silver screen. This movie has some shooting, fighting and dying as most private eye films do. Remember this film was made in the 1970's so it is going to be more on reality than new films..Score: 4/5

The Drowning PoolNice film for those that appreciate real characters. As opposed to today's bland, shallow garbage..Score: 4/5

Thumbs down!!!This was the worst movie I have ever seen! If you are planing on buying DONT! waste of money and time you will never get back!.Score: 1/5

Solid movie--but where's 1966's Harper?Paul Newman is king and he's typically strong in this follow up to Harper. I wish iTunes had that 1966 gem available. That film was a classic combination of mystery, comedy and Paul Newman at his best!.Score: 4/5

Lew Harper, detective privado, viaja desde San Francisco a Nueva Orleans para atender el encargo de Iris Devereux, esposa de un autor de malas comedias y madre de Mavis, todavia adolescente. La familia vive a la sombra de la abuela Olivia, una acaudalada señora, prototipo de las grandes "damas del Sur", que aún sigue apegada a sus plantaciones de algodón y que siempre se negó a aceptar la realidad del petróleo, desde el primer dia en que este apareció en las costas de Louisiana. Para Harper, su trabajo en Nueva Orleans parece cosa fácil: Iris está siendo objeto de un chantaje, bajo la amenaza de hacer público el nombre de un amante, sin duda el padre de Mavis.

Lew non si lascia intimorire ma, dopo una serie di cadaveri, comincia a sospettare che il marcio stia proprio in casa Deverhoe.

На опасных улицах Нового Орлеана Харпер сталкивается с массой таинственных личностей, среди которых начальник полиции, всегда готовый схватиться за оружие, и жестокий и алчный нефтяной магнат.
