...Oscar for this film She didn't work in Hollywood again until 1976. It's good to have you back, Jane, but Klute almost sustained us through those barren years. Somehow thrillers where the characters matter seem richer in atmosphere and tension--and Fonda's Bree Daniels, the call-girl who is the object of a shadowy killer, involves us so totally that the girl-in-the-abandoned-warehouse routine at the end doesn't even appear schematic (well, it does, but we're still scared to death). You gotta credit Alan J. Pakula though, who here...
...chosen for her. She establishes a school for young ladies, dedicated to the disliking of men. The school is literally shut away from male society by a wall that encloses the grounds. But the royal fiance, in search of his princess, manages to enter the school--disguised as a girl. The women's academy setting loosely ties the production into the Radcliffe centennial, reportedly one of G & S's reasons for mounting the show this year.

...interpretation has a great deal of "fast and furious" action, according to one cast member, and that director Valerie Lester is aiming for highly emotional heights. The production will be a fairly straightforward one--in other words, Capulet will be an Italian nobleman and not a fascist dictator; one girl, not three, will play Juliet; and Romeo will stab Tybalt with a sword, not a sausage...
...sitting in my brand-new Butler building surrounded by steel of high quality folded at ninety degree angles. The only thing prettier than ladies as an I-beam painted bright yellow. I told 'em I wanted a big door. A big door in front where a girl could hide her car if she wanted to evade the gaze of her husband the rat poison salesman. You ever been out with a ratpoison salesman? They are fine fellows with little red eyes...
