Arthur Penn's "Night Moves" (1975) starring Gene Hackman, Jennifer Warren, and an underage topless Melanie Griffith

Despite having a very famous cast, this neo-noir doesn't seem to be talked about much. It follows an LA private investigator (Hackman) searching for the runaway teenage daughter (Griffith) of an actress in the Florida Keys. It is a weird and offbeat movie that unfolds a bit strangely, but the atmosphere and performances are top-notch. Griffith famously went topless in it at age sixteen, but this is one of the less remarkable things about it.

Topless? You can see her actual hairy VULVA.

R1 you're right--the swimming scene. There is a shot of her topless on land at one point too.

I miss the 70s.

Man, the late 60s to early 80s had no issue with underage female nudity, you had Natassja Kinski, Brooke Shields, Olivia Hussey and Melanie Griffith do nudity under the guise of "art." Definitely a thin line between artistic expression and exploitation.

The real question is: Gene Hackman - ugly or ugly-handsome?

And Jenny Agutter, R5. In ‘Walkabout’ —coming soon to 4K via Criterion.

I always thought Hackman looked better without a moustache, He made three movies with Arthur Penn: Night Moves, Target, and, the best, Bonnie and Clyde.

A man can still have sex appeal even if he isn't a Gilbert Roland.

I wonder why Jennifer Warren didn't have a bigger career. She was reliably good in "smart, modern woman" roles. But she was so much like Candice Bergen, and there was already a Candice Bergen, so maybe that's why.

She wasn't as refined as Candy and all you really remember about her is her hair.

Go back and listen to her voice without watching it, r12, and think of Jane Fonda.

I always got Jennifer Warren confused with Jennifer Warnes, they did not look dissimilar...
