   Is 'Harper' a good movie?

   • "Harper" is a movie with a tremendous cast, an absorbing plot and a variety of very colourful characters. The dialogue is full of entertaining one-liners and there are also plenty of humorous as well as dramatic moments to enjoy. I first saw this film when it came out, at age 12, and chewed my gum like Paul Newman for the next 20 years.

   Was Lew Harper a good movie?

   • When Harper was released back in 1966 it was a big success and one of Paul Newman most popular films of the 60's but I didn't feel it at all . Struggling private eye Lew Harper takes a simple missing-person case that quickly spirals into something much more complex.

   Is 'Harper' based on a book?

   • I just read "The Moving Target" by Ross Macdonald, the book upon which "Harper" is based. Given that the book was written in 1949 and "Harper" was contemporary (1966) when made, the movie follows the novel pretty darn close. Many of the scenes are done almost verbatim from the book.

   What happened at the end of 'Harper'?

   • HARPER (1966) is the first U. S. film that - by it's ending - has the perpetrator of a crime not go punished. Even Edward G.Robinson in SCARLET STREET went insane at the end. Harper and his lawyer/ best friend - the Arthur Hill character - essentially agree at the end of the film to not turn the lawyer/friend in for the killing. SPOILER!

   Apr 26, 2017 · Harper surpassed expectations when it premiered in 1966, not only proving a critical and commercial hit, but the first in a new wave of films (Tony Rome, P.J., Lady In Cement, Marlowe) that poked fun at detective clichés.

   Jun 26, 2018 · Harper is a good detective and a lousy husband—his neglected wife (Janet Leigh) is trying to get a divorce—who has lost his idealism for the legal system but maintains a sense of honor during his tour through this soiled world of dive bars, hotel hideaways, shady cults, and privileged rich folks.

   Harper is a film that doesn't rely on the obvious and easy choices of excessive violence, swearing, or sexual encounters. It has the courage to stand by simple and strong themes: love, bravery, discipline, and commitment.
