The Silent Partner

Elliot Gould, Christopher Plummer and Suzannah York star in this terrifying thriller that pits a mild-mannered bank clerk against an evil and sadistic bank robber. When the former unexpectedly robs the latter, he doesn't realize he's made a psychotic killer very angry, until it's too late. Includes an early appearance by John Candy. Screenplay by Curtis Hanson, from the novel "Think of a Number" by Anders Bodelsen. An underrated gem.
