Sorry about missing a post yesterday. I was traveling to my family's house in Alabama and by the time I got in, I was too tired to function. This is the sequel to Harper from last week. This time, Newman invited his wife to the party.
Lew Harper (Paul Newman) is called down to New Orleans by an old flame, Iris Devereaux (Joanne Woodward). Iris is being blackmailed over an affair she had. She thinks the fired chauffeur (Andrew Robinson) is behind the plot but she wants Harper to make sure. He soon discovers a more sinister force at work with oil magnate J. Hugh Kilbourne (Murray Hamilton) after the Devereaux's land and the murder of matriarch Olivia (Coral Browne).
This also features Melanie Griffith as the underaged and oversexed Devereaux daughter. It's weird to see her so young and plastic surgery-free. Be warned, the sequel is a lot more depressing and noir than the original.
