Chandler

Detectives some officers of the law, some outside the law and all of them modern knight errants caught up in a jigsaw puzzle of death and dark deeds were out in force on 1971 screens in Dirty Harry, The French Connection, Get Carter, Klute, Shaft and in the lesser-known but intriguing tale of hard-luck, old-school shamus Chandler. Warren Oates (The Wild Bunch) portrays the non romantic ex-P.I. (the name is an homage to detective novelist Raymond Chandler), who ditches his rent-a-cop job to return to sleuthing. His first gig: meet a woman (Leslie Caron) arriving at L.A.s Union Station. But it turns out theres more to the job, a lot more. Like keeping the woman and himself alive.
