Alan Pakula's "Klute" (1972?) features a tape where a prostitute
(Jane Fonda) indulges in, well, dirty language. The tape is first
played with the introducing credits, at a time, when you don't really
know yet what it's all about (neither do you know that the woman whose
voice you hear is a prostitute).
