Director
Robert Aldrich (
The Longest Yard) re-unites with
Burt Reynolds for this hard-edged neo-noir. Lieutenant Phil Gaines (Reynolds) is a cynical Los Angeles police detective amorously involved with an icewater-veined Parisian call girl,
Nicole Britton (
Catherine Deneuve). On the job, he begins to investigate the shady death of a teenage girl that appears to lead straight to Leo Sellers (
Eddie Albert), an attorney with a frightening number of connections. The problem is,
Nicole herself has a direct connection to the case -
Leo is one of her clients. Meanwhile, Marty Hollinger (
Ben Johnson), the victim's father, decides to undertake a grassroots investigation of his own - little realizing that his seemingly murdered daughter was in up to her neck with prostitution, porno movie acting, and dancing as a stripper, facts which suggest that she may have offed herself.
