About the event
When timid Toronto bank teller Miles Cullen (Elliott Gould) figures out that a shopping mall Santa Claus is actually a psychopathic robber targeting his branch, he does the unthinkable: he quietly pockets $50,000 before the heist takes place. The heist goes off as planned, the police blame the thief, and Miles walks away with a fortune. But when the sadistic criminal, Harry Reikle (Christopher Plummer), realizes he's been outsmarted by a mild-mannered cashier, a deadly game of cat-and-mouse begins—one where the stakes escalate from extortion to outright murder.
Written by future Oscar-winner Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential) and directed by Daryl Duke, The Silent Partner (1978) is an underrated classic of neo-noir suspense. Featuring a sharp-witted performance by Elliott Gould, a truly terrifying turn by Christopher Plummer, and a sultry jazz score by legend Oscar Peterson, this razor-sharp thriller turns a holiday shopping mall into a nerve-shredding battle of wits.
