A low budget tax shelter project from the Great White North, The Silent Partner surprisingly resulted in one of the greatest suspense thrillers you’ve never seen, winning multiple Canadian Film Awards and accolades from a generation of movie explorers. Elliott Gould plays a mild-mannered bank teller engaged in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with a Santa-clad bank robber played with terrifying intensity by Christopher Plummer.
“A thriller that was not only intelligently and well acted and very scary, but also had the most audaciously clockwork plot I’ve seen in a long time. The Silent Partner‘s plot, indeed, has such ironies and reversals and neatly inevitable triple-crosses that it’s worthy of Hitchcock.” – Roger Ebert
