Fonda well deserved the Oscar


Jane Fonda is so amazingly perfect in this role a spot on performance all around but I would have to say my favorite scene is near the end when she is listening to the tape of her girlfriend and its a side profile of her face and she is crying and I mean really crying tears running down dropping off the end of her nose I remember being so incredibly moved the first time I saw it.

Came on TCM very late last night.

I'm not a big fan of the movie, but Fonda, wow.

Deserved win.

i thought the one of last scenes with her psychiatrist, when she tries to explain her sabotaging her relationship with Klute was pretty amazing, that and the first seduction (as well as the gutsy scene of her crying at the end) probably won her the Oscar.

Oh, definitely!

As good as she was scene-to-scene, the scene with the killer and tape recorder playing is terrifying and she plays it perfectly.

I thought this scene nailed her win down.
