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.

Harry is left alone, on a boat that's going round in circles and is angry with himself for not seeing this plot sooner. Then again, since Joey killed Dilly, I don't think he'd have any problems offing Harry too. As his plane is sinking he kind of apologizes to Harry. He doesn't know it's Harry on the boat instead of Tom. It got too dangerous for Joey - he wants to get rid of all his team.

Therefore, he makes Arleen hire Harry Moseby to fetch her back. This upsets Nick as a horny teenager might ruin the deal they have going on.

He buys these items from stunt director Joey Ziegler who has a neat operation going on using stuntmen to get them from Yucatan. Nick is a collector of pre-Columbian artifacts, illegal to obtain.

Read the following right after you watch the movie. Roger Ebert said understanding the entire plot of this film is missing the point, and he's probably right. After Dellamorte Dellamore/Cemetery Man, I'm going to give my take on this obscure classic.
