Harper (1966) / Harper - Privatdetektiven
Because of Paul Newman's success with "H"-titled films, Ross MacDonald's cool private eye Lew Archer became Lew Harper for this crisp whodunit. Engaged by flinty socialite Elaine Sampson (Lauren Bacall) to track down her missing millionaire husband, Harper (Newman) encounters a string of ruthless suspects and some devastating double-crosses. Crackling adaptation of MacDonald's "The Moving Target" co-stars Shelley Winters, Julie Harris, Arthur Hill, Janet Leigh, Robert Wagner, Pamela Tiffin.
