Wissenswertes
When Sean Connery agreed to return as James Bond in Diamantenfieber (1971), as part of his deal, United Artists had to back two movies of his choice that would cost $2 million or less. This was to be the first; a Connery-directed version of "Macbeth" was to be the second. When this movie failed at the box office and Roman Polanski beat Connery to the screen with Roman Polanskis Macbeth (1971), Connery's version of "Macbeth" was cancelled.

Patzer
A ladder leaning against the wall in the hallway outside of the police interrogation room is clearly labeled "TFS" for "Twickenham Film Studios."

8/10

Grim but rewarding character study with a great Connery performance.

Arguably the best of Sidney Lumet's British films, this one benefits from a brilliant script by John Hopkins and a tour-de-force performance by Sean Connery as a cop who's been pushed too far. The interrogation scenes between him and an excellent Ian Bannen, as the prime suspect in a child molestation case, are riveting. Hopkins' dialogue is uncannily subtle in its gradual illumination of the psychological states of its two antagonists. Vivien Merchant is exceptional as Connery's emotionally-drained spouse. Gerry Fisher's cold, muted photography perfectly captures the sterility and bleakness of post-modern England. This is not a fun film, but its truths about the fragility of the human psyche are eloquently conveyed.
