IMDb profile |
Night Moves is a 1975 film starring Gene Hackman, directed by Arthur Penn. It features very early career appearances by Melanie Griffith and James Woods. The film was written by Alan Sharp.
An "anti-detective" thriller in the style of Vertigo and the television series The Rockford Files, the film stars Hackman as Harry Moseby, a retired professional football player working as a private investigator in Los Angeles. Moseby is hired by a former actress to find her runaway stepdaughter (Griffith.) The case takes him to the Florida Keys and it soon becomes considerably more complicated and dangerous than it had originally seemed.
Melanie Griffith has some very sexy nude scenes in this movie which may have helped kick start her career.
