Anecdotes
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 Détective privé (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."

Gaffes
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.

7/10

Newman acclaimed as the new Bogart

The film opens with Harper (Newman), unshaven and gradually awakening from a hangover He puts his head under a faucet, attempts to make coffee but finds none left, and dispiritedly takes yesterday's grounds from the garbage and makes a perfect1y terrible cup of coffee At once we get Harper's image as an antihero detective without any illusions

As he is commissioned by Lauren Bacall to trace her wealthy husband who has been kidnapped, the details are filled in: he's tough, ironic, cool, unpleasant and repugnant Although occasionally given to a moment of sensitivity or remorse, he's most1y sadistic and exploitative

Harper is a loner, with an air of detachment and an ability to dispatch opponents with a fist and a flippant remark He swings into action only mechanically He chews gum constantly, looks around in an uninteresting manner, makes little disapproving gestures, laughs in total disregards, and smiles mischievously

Harper's dealings with women are based exclusively on coldness, deception and sexual exploitation He is estranged from his wife and would like to renew his marriage
