Hustle

“She's the call girl. He's the cop. They both take their jobs seriously.”

A teenage girl, Gloria Hollinger, is found dead on a Los Angeles beach, and the file calls it suicide. Lt. Phil Gaines (Burt Reynolds) takes the case but steers around a mob lawyer named Leo Sellers, while her father keeps digging on his own. Robert Aldrich puts Gaines beside Nicole Britton (Catherine Deneuve), the escort he lives with, a couple holding onto each other as the case pulls at them both.
