The brilliant soundtrack to this film is rarely available - I was told that the musicians were not apparently properly remunerated and this has led to a dispute that is I guess unresolved to this day..

[edit] Andy Lewis Hyperlink

Please be aware that the Andy Lewis hyperlink transfers the reader to the article of an Australian musician by that name. However, that musician was born in 1967, making it very unlikely that he is the same Andy Lewis who wrote the script for Klute. PJ 21:02, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that, too - now a dab page. -- Beardo 05:57, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Comfort of being numb"

Is that a quote ? -- Beardo 05:57, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Conspiracy thriller"

I am removing this from the "see also" section. Just because Pakula directed doesn't mean it's a conspiracy thriller. Does it have a paranoid, atmosphere, very much of a piece with his next two films? Yes. But it is not even arguably a conspiracy thriller, as it deals with (SPOILER) a single lone killer who is completely unaided. There is no justification for putting conspiracy thriller in the "see also" section. 65.190.89.154 (talk) 06:22, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Most famous shot

How on earth can you have an article about this film without making reference to the most memorable shot - Jane Fonda/ Bree's quick check of her wristwatch while working a john in a hotel room. All the sound effects of passion and a fast glance at the watch to make sure the john doesn't go over it's (was it a he? I've forgotten already. Did JF do girls?) time limit. I remember the film studies teacher at school (over 20 years ago) referring to that scene as one of the classic shots of the last decade of film. Other competitors for the title (in his personal compilation) included the "hamburger shot" in the then-recent Dirty Harry film, the Mexican stand-off in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly ... That teacher actually got me interested in observing films, rather than just seeing them.
