The Drowning Pool (1975)

"The Drowning Pool" is a neo-noir thriller that finds a private detective pulled back into the murky world of a wealthy Louisiana family, tangled up in blackmail, old affairs, and buried secrets. Melanie Griffith brings a sultry edge to the proceedings, playing a role that leans into the film's steamy Southern atmosphere. Fans on the hunt for her early screen work will want to check out the single scene clip pulled from the film, which catches her in a memorably exposed bit of skin. It's a brief but worthwhile stop for anyone tracking Griffith's filmography of nude and sexy roles.
