No Way Out (1987) starring Kevin Costner, Sean Young and Gene #Hackman The latter, of course, found deceased last Wednesday. Another great actor that will be missed.

The movie is a political thriller set in #Washington DC, about the hunt for a Russian mole...

🎥 RIP Gene Hackman, seen here in Night Moves (1975) - a modern noir which starred Hackman and Jennifer Warren, with James Woods, Susan Clark and a young Melanie Griffith, then aged 17, in her first major role. Directed by Arthur Penn, Night Moves tells the story of cuckolded private eye and chess fanatic Harry Moseby (Hackman).

I will admit I didn't know much about Gene Hackman as a person, but this story is worth sharing.

"One time, he was leaving a movie, and a woman walked up to him. "You won't remember me," she said, "but my husband..."

"... worked in the camera department on LUCKY LADY. I remember you. How's Dan doing?""

May he and his wife rest in peace.

Here's a great article about the movie "The Conversation" (1974), made in SF, starring Gene Hackman and directed by Coppola.

It's a movie that was based on the life of a well-known local private detective named Harry Lipset, who was sometimes mentioned in Herb Caen's column "back in the day."

This movie was overshadowed by "The Godfather" 1 & 2 released in 1972 & 1974 but is worth watching for local interest (a lot of scenes were shot on location in SF) and also because IMO it's a "good' movie that should be on any movie fan's "must see" list.
