I've seen Klute twice. The first time to see what all the hype was about, the second? To enjoy what all the hype was about. Fonda deserved the Oscar. What a haunting performance.
One of my favorite parts in Klute was when Jane said to Donald Sutherland "And what's your secret cookie? Do you like to have your chest stomped on? Or do you maybe get it off wearing women's clothing?" Classic, LOL
About 45 years ago as an 18 year old I happened to zip through our small tv in Germany and just came into the opening scenes of Klute. Was immediately drawn into the film and loved it, first time seen Donald Sutherland, too. Jane Fonda was terrific, both were. He has passed yesterday and now I‘ll watch it again.
Contemporary German here, love your post. Fonda once described the making of the movie as a „delicate dance, it was like a waltz with the perfect partner” with both Pakula and co-star Donald Sutherland. She wrote about it in her memoir yet remaining discrete about their love affair - which he didn’t. I am really sad, RIP Donald Sutherland
Jane was EXCELLENT in this film. I watched Klute again yesterday for the first time in 30 years. It affected me twice as much. Thank you Jane, Donald, Alan, Jean Stapleton, etc., etc...
Great movie and I loved Jane Fonda's role. Amazing actress and person who took her role so seriously by doing all she could to understand the role whereby you can not just see her performance but you can feel it too... Amazing Jane Fonda
She's spot on here. I worked in Gentleman's Clubs in the 90s. Most girls - not all - have a history. In this film she immediately reminded me of many of the women I knew from that era.
"I did a lot of work around all the pyschological things that sexual abuse does to a female and a male" I just love how Jane includes everyone. Jane you are loved! ❤
Jane Fonda is an American icon of street intelligence, courage, compassion, beauty, strength and love of her work and other people. I hope she's doing ok with the recent illness
I’ve seen this film probably 9 times. I rewatch because of the amazing artistry. Donald Sutherland seduces us with his staunch midwestern values, which help us see how sensual and magnetic a human is who deeply knows himself. He created a man, quiet in his ethical composure and unbearably sexy. Brie, is an artist who seems to have lost herself to ambition and desperation. New York is a city with little comfort to those without power. When we meet her, she has already begun a hard climb out, to try to find solid ground in this terrifying world. Her deepest longing is to reconcile herself to the loss of a dream (acting professionally) and the destruction she brought on herself with the power she substituted for that dream. She is drawn to the calm, confident persona of Klute, who does not need to “advertise” his power. Donald Sutherland created a strong silent hero much like Gary Cooper in High Noon or Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch. Klute has it all, soundtrack, direction, actors at the top of their game. We are lucky to have it.
I had seen this film in the movies many moons ago. I have the dvd of this movie and never watch it. I tried to watch it several months ago but it was so scary, frightening that I had to walk away. If you want a good scare take a look.
Thank You very much for sharing this interesting story. ...Being abused, humiliated and have no right for the just retribution? It makes wonder, why some people are "advocating" for the total ban on firearms sales...
@@TheBeezusjones You are very wrong. In my personal life, if the ones who colluded against me, would know, that the just retribution would come... they would not be doing such bad things to me. Helpless victim is a dream of any transgressor. There are very many situations which are impossible to bring into the Court of Law. Such detestable things as hounding, defamation calumny "consulting" do take place and flourish. The posession of firearms would prevent many situations ensuing from such conspiracies... And thinking about this topic, I do come to the conclusion, that I would like to have firearms. In least, at least, it would not give the illusion to my enemies, that they are absolutely invincible! And, thus, I am being robbed by the intrinsically wicked, evil individuals and they celebrate their victory... Of course, the firearm must be applied at the right time at the right place. The Fathers of USA Democracy were not dummies! They were, most likely, Visionaries!!! And, most likely, knowing the future they allowed the firearms culture.
@@TheBeezusjones Excuse me, do You have any idea where my comment about Founding Fathers of USA and the second amendment... and about the hounding, which was unleashed against me by this gang of DNIPROSLANDER collusive organization in Tsefat, Dortmund and Tula, - where did this comment disappear? I posted it as the answer about five - seven hours ago. Did You delete it? Or AFI?.. There is no legal right for duell in Israel, FRG, Russia... what am I supposed to do? Fifty years old outcast and idiot?.. Who was let down by everybody everywhere. Who encountered impossible! Impossible! Unimaginable lies!!! There is no any other remedy against organized hounding as the free sales of the firearms... I would not be treated in such a way... In the lands, where there is no free sales of firearms, it seems, that all the bad individuals have firearms and the good ones - don't. The Founding Fathers of the USA were correct. Why someone, most likely AFI, did delete my comment?.. Do You have any idea, Madam?
That scene really hit me the one when JF is looking at the real women killed due a switch of a temper control , being a women who’s experienced everything JF covers is spot on
They say and narrate, that some of the females do also come after the female sex workers, open minded ladies of generous thoughts... There were movies about that too, as far as I recollect. Violence against women, is not always a male crime.
Feminism, racism, sexism all the same thing. All divide people against one another. All driven by hatred. Great actress though. And Klute is a great film. Totally deserved the oscar for that performance.
Each evilmongering "albert spica" must eat to the hilt his morsel of Poetic Justice! Georgina was not the merciful lady of the street, but she was constantly abused, bitten and suppressed by her "husband". She is like Elza Blumentrost from "Elza's Land".If both ladies had the right to carry submachine guns, the abuse would never get materialized. Although, Elza could have finished her "hubby" with the shovel and hide the body in the garden... through some reason, she didn't do so... Georgina suffered very long and eventually shot the criminal... but why didn't she stab this anthropoid much earlier with the cutlery knife? Why she decided to endure sufferings for such a long time???
Jane! Fer gardsakes. Men don't carry 'misplaced anger.' I know what you're trying to say but it isn't true though - killers and people who harm others have malicious egos and extreme self-entitlement. It's a stretch to think this comes from 'misplaced anger.' What is that anger coming from in the first place? Is this a 'chicken/egg' thing? Does someone's ego fabricate causes for them to be angry or else how does actual earlier personal harm or injury enlarge their ego then - some maintain this is an attempt at self-protection... So, the adversely enlarged ego decides to, or that it's okay to, harm and to kill others... Is that really true? It's not true: egos care, and they care about others. This is still an unresolved human social/psychological question. Klute's a great movie but it never resolved the issue. That movie is yet to be made.
There must be the federal law in the USA allowing the Sisters of Amorous Mercy carry submachine guns openly in public, so they'll be able to protect themselves when necessary!👮♀️👮♂️
The Angelic nightly Butterflies of Compassion and Empathy must have the right to carry submachine guns in public areas! The Uzi, dangling off the genteel shoulder, would be only increasing the sex appeal!
@@JudithJohnson I try to be a gentleman so I won't use the "B" word but she was "shooting down" young American guys most of whom didn't want to be there. That is so disrespectful to the guys and their families.
One of my all time favorite performances. Such an iconic, complex, brilliant, fascinating character.
I’m not a big Jane Fonda fan but I just rewatched Klute and her performance was truly extraordinary.
I've seen Klute twice. The first time to see what all the hype was about, the second? To enjoy what all the hype was about. Fonda deserved the Oscar. What a haunting performance.
just saw it for the first time and it was amazing. jane was so good in it.
@austynjordan4717 oh i just loved the soundtrack.
You are 100% correct. I've seen probably 8 or 9 times. Find something new each time.

Klute is one of my favorite films. Man or woman, anyone can connect with Jane Fonda's Bree.
And the title character
she was so damn brilliant
You don't have to be a feminist to care for other women
@@yanaarieli3579 I am not talking about feminism. I am speaking of a character that I can relate to.
she is great. you can agree or disagree with her, but what an amazing 80 years and still acting. i love her work.
Jane was EXCELLENT in this film.
I watched Klute again yesterday for the first time in 30 years. It affected me twice as much. Thank you Jane, Donald, Alan, Jean Stapleton, etc., etc...
Just finished watching it again on TV and it is a terrific film.
Isn’t it still a classic
I love the movie Klute..She did an incredible job..
I love Jane so much.
Great movie and I loved Jane Fonda's role. Amazing actress and person who took her role so seriously by doing all she could to understand the role whereby you can not just see her performance but you can feel it too... Amazing Jane Fonda
Fantastic film, SUPERB acting from Fonda.
Klute is movie that made me fall for her real bad. She’s me grandmother Age now. Hard to believe ppl age.
She's spot on here. I worked in Gentleman's Clubs in the 90s. Most girls - not all - have a history. In this film she immediately reminded me of many of the women I knew from that era.
The early to mid 1970s some/incredible movies.
"I did a lot of work around all the pyschological things that sexual abuse does to a female and a male"
I just love how Jane includes everyone. Jane you are loved! ❤
Terrific movie, excellent performance.
There are a few generations of actresses who owe Fonda a debt for cutting the path they were able to use in order to get roles with some depth.
Jane Fonda is an American icon of street intelligence, courage, compassion, beauty, strength and love of her work and other people. I hope she's doing ok with the recent illness
Watched it again tonight & it’s still a absolute classic
Love Jane, such a wisdom
One of my favorite movies. Ms. Fonda is absolutely astounding in this role. And she was totally matched by Donald Sutherland.
One of the best performances ever filmed.

I don’t get the comments criticising JF why are you watching her then ???
Because they are small-minded people who cannot stand anyone having an opinion different than their own.
I had seen this film in the movies many moons ago. I have the dvd of this movie and never watch it. I tried to watch it several months ago but it was so scary, frightening that I had to walk away. If you want a good scare take a look.
Thank You very much for sharing this interesting story. ...Being abused, humiliated and have no right for the just retribution? It makes wonder, why some people are "advocating" for the total ban on firearms sales...
Because firearms don't protect anyone; they only endanger not only the gun owner but all of us who are just trying to live our lives.

Great interview with her there.
I can't believe no guys winked at her with her new hairdo in Klute. It looked sexy on her. Surprising......
That scene really hit me the one when JF is looking at the real women killed due a switch of a temper control , being a women who’s experienced everything JF covers is spot on
Brando in On the Waterfront; Fonda in Klute.
Good choices
Wait how could Fonda have been arrested "a dozen times" driving across country?
Expired plates, faulty tail light, illegal lane change, etc., etc....
@@MarkLonteenThat’s a ticket.
I believe the Oscar should have gone to Julie Christie for 'McCabe & Mrs. Miller'.
Pfffttttt! No way. Fonda killed the role. She was brilliant on so many levels in the film.
Tough call 🤷🏻♀️. They were both excellent, in different ways.
They say and narrate, that some of the females do also come after the female sex workers, open minded ladies of generous thoughts... There were movies about that too, as far as I recollect.
Violence against women, is not always a male crime.
It is a male issue 98% percent of the time.
@@vaporeonjedi4266 Sorry for the belated like, I saw it only now.
Almost always. Stop with this stupidity
Feminism, racism, sexism all the same thing. All divide people against one another. All driven by hatred.
Great actress though. And Klute is a great film. Totally deserved the oscar for that performance.
misplaced anger is a women's issue as well not just a man's
'misplaced'
Women aren't unaliving males anywhere near the rate males do to women with their misplaced anger. . Just stop with this nonsense.
Remarkable that you could get it on for $50 back then..
387 in 2024 $
