Underrated followup to Harper in a different key
Where Harper was jazzy, amped up for its day and often dark humored in its intrigue and violence, this sequel has more of a laid-back and ultimately melancholy tone. The humor is still there, but the dysfunctional family theme that produced edgy laughs in the earlier film cuts deeper here.

Newman looks great and is as effortlessly effective as ever as he prowls Cajun Country, at the behest of onetime flame Joanne Woodward, in search of a blackmail source that quickly turns into much more. Filmed all over South Louisiana, including a mansion shot here in Baton Rouge, it gets the local flavor down pretty well.

Dismissed as draggy even in its day, and certainly so in the age raised on the newspaper ad quote “A Thrill Ride!!!”, it’s a thoughtful, well acted addition to the private eye genre, with Melanie Griffith coming out the gate full force as a troublesome nymphet (an interesting predatory flip-side to the victimized variation seen later the same year in the superb Night Moves.)

Hopefully a widescreen DVD will one day soon afford its excellent Panavision photography to be seen for the first time in 25 years.

It was great, excellent work
Paul Newman really put on a performance in “The Drowning Pool”. I had no idea this movie was a sequel to another, but I don’t really care at this point. There in the movie was a lesser known star Melanie Griffith who was starting out very well in the movie. Helping out your ex is always helpful, especially when it comes to being blackmail by someone very unscrupulous.

I like the part when the detective and his ex were trapped and was about to be drowned by the perpetrators, they had to uses their own clothes to make a clog that would be hazardous, to make their escape. Hence, that’s why it’s called “The Drowning Pool”. The intensity of the movie was not lost, and plot was good. If I only knew what the first movie was that this is a sequel to, otherwise, I just can say this, it’s a great movie and it’s great for the enthusiasts of Southern detective stories buffs. I liked it all the way. Rating 4 out of 5 stars
