''The Drowning Pool'' is a 1975 American thriller film directed by Stuart Rosenberg, and based upon Ross Macdonald's novel ''of the same name''. The film stars Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, and Anthony Franciosa, and is a sequel to ''Harper''. The setting is shifted from California to Louisiana. ==Synopsis== Private detective Lew Harper (Paul Newman) investigates a blackmail plot in Louisiana bayou country involving the daughter (Melanie Griffith) of an old flame of his, Iris Devereaux (Joanne Woodward). Harper is caught up in a power struggle between Iris and oil tycoon Jay Hue Kilbourne (Murray Hamilton), while local police authority Broussard (Anthony Franciosa) has a personal interest in the family and wants the private eye gone. At one point, the complicated plot has Harper and Kilbourne's wife Mavis (Gail Strickland) locked in a hydrotherapy room, with the water rising to the ceiling, hence the film's title. One of the film's most gripping scenes features a corrupt cop, Franks (Richard Jaeckel), who eventually meets his end when Jay Hue (Murray Hamilton) spurs two male attack dogs on to kill him; the dogs leap onto Jaeckel, killing him offscreen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Drowning Pool (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
