Featuring returning guest Matt Clark (https://twitter.com/themplsmatt)! If NIGHT MOVES isn’t quite like other neonoirs of the 1970s, it’s because of Harry Moseby (Gene Hackman), a tragic antihero whose fatal flaw can’t really be called “hubris” because he actively seeks out his own problems and never accepts their resolution. When the “perfect” case lands in his lap (the 13-year-old daughter (Melanie Griffith) of a starlet past her prime (Janet Ward goes missing with her ex-lover as the only lead) he snatches defeat from the jaws of victory time and again – with deadly consequences. Oh, and his wife’s cheating on him, too. He handles that about as maturely as you’d expect.
