Joey races his plane toward Paula and the boat, striking and leaving her dead in the water (not hyperbole), hitting the floating artifact causing the plane to wreck, and finally sinking with the plane and drowning. Paula surfaces with the artifact as Joey lands his plane on the water.

Joey Ziegler, in an airplane, attacks Harry in the Iverson boat, and manages to shoot him in the leg. Harry and Paula set out to retrieve the latest artifact, with Paula scuba diving to bring it to the surface of the ocean. Paula admits that she, Tom Iverson, and Marv Ellman were in the process of smuggling a Yucatan artifact piece by piece, estimated worth a half million dollars. Tom Iverson admits killing Quentin to Harry before knocking himself out by ramming his head into a pole. Harry finds Quentin dead in the water (not hyperbole). Harry believes Quentin rigged Ellman's plane to crash, and rigged the car Joey was driving that killed Delly, because he thought Quentin knew that Delly knew that he rigged Ellman's plane. Shortly after, Delly dies in a failed car stunt with Joey Ziegler driving. (She used to do the horizontal tango with Quentin). Delly does tell Quentin she saw Ellman dead. Marv Ellman is found dead in the water (not hyperbole) by Delly, who high tails it back home with Harry to her mother, without telling Harry who it was she saw dead. Tom Iverson (John Crawford) and Paula (Jennifer Warren) live together and work a charter fishing (and smuggling) operation in Florida. Joey Ziegler (Edward Binns) and Quentin (James Woods) often work together. Marv Ellman (Anthony Costello) has done the horizontal tango with both mother Arlene and daughter Delly, though not at the same time. Harry is hired by Arlene Iverson (Janet Ward) to return her runaway daughter Delly Grastner (Melanie Griffith) home. Harry doesn't know any of the other players he comes across until he meets them for the first time. Marty Heller was also the name of my pharmacist when I was a kid. Ellen is cheating on Harry with Marty Heller (Harris Yulin). Harry's marriage to Ellen (Susan Clark) is on the rocks. So here's what we know: Harry Moseby (Gene Hackman) is a private detective.
#Night moves 1975 dvdrip avc movie#
OK, I watched the movie twice and read a whole bunch of the reviews posted here. Title (Brazil): "Um Lance no Escuro" ("A Bid in the Dark") Note: On 26 October 2014 I saw this movie again on DVD and now my vote is eight. It is also great to see again the gorgeous vanished actresses Jennifer Warren and Susan Clark. It is also interesting to see James Woods also in the beginning of career in a supporting role. The 18 year-old Melanie Griffith in her first credited role is extremely sexy and beautiful, undressing easily along the film. The top-notch actor Gene Hackman in the top of his successful career performs a detective that snoops the lives of other people and is incapable to see that his marriage is deteriorating. "Night Moves" is a different and complex detective story, supported by an engaging and flawed screenplay and great characters development. With the recent death of Arthur Penn, I decide to see again "Night Moves", a movie that I watched in the 80's and was forgotten in my collection.

But sooner he finds that the initially missing person case is actually a complex smuggling operation of a valuable artifact. When Harry learns that Delly has died in a car crash, he suspects of Quinten. Harry and Ellen have a long conversation trying to solve their marriage problems. After seeing an accident in the sea, the reluctant Delly surprisingly accepts to return to Los Angeles with Harry to live with her mother. Harry is welcomed by Paula (Jennifer Warren), who works with Tom in a boat and has an open relationship with him. Then he visits the stuntman Marv Ellman (Anthony Costello) and the stunt coordinator Joey Ziegler (Ed Binn) and follows the new lead, heading to Florida Keys, where Delly would be living with her stepfather Tom Iverson (John Crawford). Meanwhile, Harry finds that his wife Ellen Moseby (Susan Clark) is cheating him and he has difficulties to handle the situation. Harry discovers that the runaway girl has a promiscuous life and uses drugs, and he tracks down her last boyfriend Quinten (James Woods), who works as a mechanic on the sets. In Los Angeles, the private detective and former athlete Harry Moseby (Gene Hackman) is hired by the retired obscure Hollywood actress Arlene Iverson (Janet Ward) to find her 16 year-old missing daughter Delly Grastner (Melanie Griffith).
