THE SILENT PARTNER

The trailer for 1978’s THE SILENT PARTNER. Directed by Daryl Duke, written by Curtis Hanson, from a novel by Anders Bodelsen. The film stars Elliott Gould, Christopher Plummer, Susannah York, Céline Lomez, Michael Kirby, Ken Pogue, and John Candy.

The plot summary is as follows:

A bank teller is held up at gun point in his bank. Luckily for him he receives a clue that this is going to occur and diverts most of the cash into his own safety deposit box, leaving only a nominal amount for the crook. The ruse works well, but for the fact that the crook resents the fact that he has been outsmarted. There ensues a terrific battle of wits involving the clever but basically "moral" teller, and the cunning and totally uninhibited bank robber, which involves several other people in ways which cannot be revealed here.

THE SILENT PLAYER is not currently streaming but it is available for rent on most digital platforms.
