Harry Ross Paul Newman was, as he describes it, a cop for twenty years, a PI for five, and then a drunk. Two years later, Harry remains, having settled into a cushioned role as a handyman and sort of kept friend to Jack. His mutual attraction with Catherine adds a pinch of spice to bland days of playing gin and fixing appliances. Jack asks Harry to deliver a package—contents unspecified, reasons eluded. Harry allows himself to be persuaded. Twilight can be imagined as the closing chapter to a loose trilogy.

The film's original score was composed by Elmer Bernstein. Aging private detective Harry Ross, an ex-cop, is working on a case to return year-old runaway Mel Ames to her parents' home. He tracks down Mel and her sleazy boyfriend, Jeff Willis, at a Mexican resort. During a struggle, Mel accidentally shoots Harry with his pistol, striking him in the upper thigh. The plot picks up two years later, when Ross is living in Southern California in the guest quarters of Mel's wealthy parents, Jack and Catherine Ames. They are former movie stars, now in the twilight of their careers.
