An intense suspense thriller with a haunting soundtrack, KLUTE is the first part of what director Alan Pakula described as his paranoid trilogy. The story follows Bree, a Manhattan prostitute (Jane Fonda), and rural Pennsylvania private eye John Klute (Donald Sutherland), who is investigating the disappearance of his friend Tom Gruneman. Bree`s and Klute`s worlds collide when Klute`s only lead points him to Manhattan and to Bree, the last person to see his friend, and who is being stalked. Shot on location in New York City, the film is both an intriguing and intelligently adult suspense film and a showcase for Fonda, who won an Academy Award for her role.

But as he whiles away his time in a small office, selling fake travel packages to the unsuspecting public, Penny dreams of something bigger, of the prime gig.
