Warner Bros. UK will release two classic thrillers starring Paul Newman:
Harper (1966) and
The Drowning Pool (1974). The two releases will be available for purchase on June 24.
The Drowning Pool
Synopsis: Edgy detective Lew Harper is hired by an old flame, Iris Devereaux, who is being blackmailed about an affair she says never happened. He travels down to Louisiana to investigate, but things take a turn for the worse when her mother-in-law is killed. Also starring Joanne Woodward, Anthony Franciosa, Linda Haynes, and Melanie Griffith.
Harper
Synopsis: Struggling private eye Lew Harper (Paul Newman) takes a simple missing-person case that quickly spirals into something much more complex. Elaine Sampson (Lauren Bacall), recently paralyzed in a horse-riding accident, wants Harper to find her missing oil baron husband, but her tempestuous teenage stepdaughter Miranda (Pamela Tiffin) thinks Mrs. Sampson knows more than she's letting on. The film is based on Ross Macdonald's 1949 mystery "The Moving Target," featuring private eye Lew Archer.
