The Midnight Man [1974] [DVD]Burt Lancaster (actor) Susan Clark (actor) Format: all-region dvd (worldwide) Runtime: 118 min Quality: Very Good
Burt Lancaster stars as a former cop, jailed for the murder of his wife's lover, who investigates another murder on the university campus where he now works as a janitor. Set in South Carolina, this is never more than a routine murder mystery; Lancaster later admitted he made it as a favour to his longtime buddy and partner, Roland Kibbee, who badly needed the money and got a co-writer and co-director credit.
Susan Clark, who appeared alongside Burt in the earlier Valdez Is Coming and the subsequent Airport 1975, plays Lancaster's parole officer and romantic interest. |
