Talk:Klute

message: The brilliant soundtrack to this film is rarely available - I was told that the musicians were not apparently properly remunerated and this has led to a dispute that is I guess unresolved to this day.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.152.174.15 (talk • contribs) 19:21, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Please be aware that the Andy Lewis hyperlink transfers the reader to the article of an Australian musician by that name. However, that musician was born in 1967, making it very unlikely that he is the same Andy Lewis who wrote the script for Klute. PJ 21:02, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I am removing this from the "see also" section.  Just because Pakula directed doesn't mean it's a conspiracy thriller.  Does it have a paranoid, atmosphere, very much of a piece with his next two films?  Yes.  But it is not even arguably a conspiracy thriller, as it deals with (SPOILER) a single lone killer who is completely unaided.  There is no justification for putting conspiracy thriller in the "see also" section.  65.190.89.154 (talk) 06:22, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

message: How on earth can you have an article about this film without making reference to the most memorable shot - Jane Fonda/ Bree's quick check of her wristwatch while working a john in a hotel room. All the sound effects of passion and a fast glance at the watch to make sure the john doesn't go over it's (was it a he? I've forgotten already. Did JF do girls?) time limit. I remember the film studies teacher at school (over 20 years ago) referring to that scene as one of the classic shots of the last decade of film. Other competitors for the title (in his personal compilation) included the "hamburger shot" in the then-recent Dirty Harry film, the Mexican stand-off in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly ... That teacher actually got me interested in observing films, rather than just seeing them.--A Karley (talk) 23:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Most famous shot 

message: After Sutherland enters the room of Fonda for the first time, they are talking and suddenly Fonda opens a door and shouts "OK Tommy-baby, Ally Ally in free kid, I got the gumdrops". Most of the people in the audience don't understand this scene and what this weird behavior is all about. I can only guess it's a reference to Olly olly oxen free, but I cannot figure out her intention and the meaning.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.4.246.20 (talk) 07:54, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ally Ally in free? 

message: Maybe just a coincidence, but Aner Clute is one of the characters from Edgar Lee Masters "Spoon River Anthology". The text suggests she is a prostitute (or at least a "kept woman"):
OVER and over they used to ask me,	 
While buying the wine or the beer,	 
In Peoria first, and later in Chicago,	 
Denver, Frisco, New York, wherever I lived,	 
How I happened to lead the life,	
And what was the start of it.	 
Well, I told them a silk dress,	 
And a promise of marriage from a rich man—	 
(It was Lucius Atherton).	 
But that was not really it at all.
Suppose a boy steals an apple	 
From the tray at the grocery store,	 
And they all begin to call him a thief,	 
The editor, minister, judge, and all the people—	 
“A thief,” “a thief,” “a thief,” wherever he goes.
And he can’t get work, and he can’t get bread	 
Without stealing it, why the boy will steal.	 
It’s the way the people regard the theft of the apple	 
That makes the boy what he is
