Jane Fonda in her Oscar-winning role as 'Bree'; a prostitute being stalked by the bad guy. Donald Sutherland plays the good guy: a private dick who, initially, is out to find a missing person. For my money's worth he plays it way too dead pan. He probably wouldn't have played it any differently if he was acting in his sleep. Quite a departure from his excellent job in "Kelley's Heroes", for instance. Jane, on the other hand, really kicks butt. She has this nervous energy that pretty much became her trademark. You believe her, you sympathize with her, you sort of fall just a little bit in love with her. She may be a prostitute, but she doesn't come off like a slut. She's kind and sympathetic with her tricks, and she's damn good at her job. You get the feeling her customers couldn't help but get their money's worth. As they say, "you go, girl!"
