Inspiration for THE SILENT PARTNER (1978)


Many years ago, I caught the Canadian bank robbery thriller THE SILENT PARTNER (starring Elliot Gould and Christopher Plummer). Just having seen EXPERIMENT IN TERROR, I conclude that TSP was an homage to EIT. Nothing wrong with that, and I recommend TSP for buffs who enjoyed EIT.

The Silent Partner is one of my favorite movies to recommend to others. It's not known and it's great. Well done.

I love Christopher Plummer in this flick. When he talks through the mail slot - perfection. I used to walk through Eaton Centre when they were filming this. Not the greatest direction, probably because of lack of funding. Could be remade although I doubt you could find a more insidious villain than the one Christopher Plummer pulls off. Johnny Depp could do it I suppose but ...

nope.. The Silent partner is based on a Danish book called Think Of A Number by Anders Bodelsen...and just for the record, I think The Silent Partner is a much better film...Experiment In Terror is full of ridiculous plotholes
