The Drowning Pool (1975)
Director: Stuart Rosenberg
Scene: "The Drowning Pool"
This is an investigative sequel of sorts to 1966's Harper with Paul Newman reprising his role as Lew Harper, private detective. The original is the one to see with its more intriguing premise, creatively delivered storyline and colourful characters to hold our attention. The Drowning Pool does, however, have the title scene's showstopper: distinctive, suspenseful and wonderfully created by everyone involved behind and in front of the camera. If only the rest of the film delivered half the inspiration found here. *Warning: Some may find this scene's brutal, intense nature disturbing.
The Drowning Pool is now available on this Blu-ray here:

"Is he dead?"
(response) "He was dead for a long time... He just didn't know it."
"Wanna drink?"
(response) "I never drink. You're very nervous."
(reply) "That's because I've never been killed before."
"Do you fall in love with all of your clients?"
(response) "Only the ones in skirts."
"Mr. Campbell, as long as we're on this little jaunt together, you and I are going to stick so close together, we could wear the same pair of suspenders."
"I saw the two of you, the way you were looking at each other tonight, like a couple of wild animals. Almost scared me."

But why not? They've had ten thousand years to get independent. What's so wonderful about that? I suppose I could too, only it might take a little more time."

Normally, our contemporary film contributor Renard N. Bansale reviews recent releases and he may, in fact, critique the following motion picture at some point. Occasionally, I am able to overcome a reluctance to venture out and attend a locally screened film, especially when it's the "talk of the town" or "talk of the internet" to be more precise. I've been bombarded with so much buzz about Dunkirk, I felt like a chainsaw, and therefore it became that rare film I was compelled to see and share my thoughts on. Please feel free to leave your thoughts about the film and/or my review here in the comments section. (A.G.)
