Curiosidades
Years after this film was made, Paul Newman and Shelley Winters appeared together as guests on The Tonight Show. When Johnny Carson asked Winters, "Have you and Paul ever worked together?", Winters replied, "No, we haven't had the opportunity." Newman did an astonished double-take. "We haven't? What was I in Harper, investigador privado (1966)? Chopped liver?" To her chagrin, Winters admitted that she had forgotten about the movie. Newman was incredulous. "I made love to you for two days, in front of the cameras! you tell me you forgot about that."

Pifias
After Harper (played by a stuntman) dives through the shed window he runs between some dilapidated ship vent stacks. As the stuntman moves behind the stack, one can see Harper's (Newman) head sticking out on the other side and the stuntman's hind side out the other. The size of the combined Harper at that point is probably more than10 feet tall.

Citas
Lew Harper: The bottom is loaded with nice people, Albert. Only cream and bastards rise.

Good movie version of the book

I just read "The Moving Target" by Ross Macdonald, the book upon which "Harper" is based. Given that the book was written in 1949 and "Harper" was contemporary (1966) when made, the movie follows the novel pretty darn close. Many of the scenes are done almost verbatim from the book. Harper is more acerbic than Macdonald's Lew Archer, and the novel, of course, fleshes out the characters and their motives a little better. But I think the movie stands up pretty well by itself. It has an outstanding supporting cast and, except for Pamela Tiffin, the acting is good, with high marks especially for Paul Newman and, in my opinion, Arthur Hill. The photography is gorgeous, and I can listen all night to any music by Johnny Mandel. All that and those great one-liners by Newman! I'd give it a 7 or 8 out of ten.
