Altra descrizione (Wikipedia (en))
The Silent Partner (titled Double Deadly on home video in the UK) is a 1978 Canadian thriller film directed by Daryl Duke and starring Elliott Gould, Christopher Plummer, Susannah York and Celine Lomez. The screenplay by Curtis Hanson is based on the novel Think of a Number (Tænk på et tal) by Danish writer Anders Bodelsen.
The film is about Miles Cullen (Gould), a Toronto bank teller, who discovers a discarded holdup note revealing an imminent robbery. Suspecting the mall Santa, Harry Reikle (Plummer), Miles secretly hides $48,300 from his transactions in a lunchbox, giving Reikle only a small amount during the robbery. Realizing he's been shorted, Reikle stalks and threatens Miles.
The Silent Partner marked Carolco Pictures' first production and benefited from Canada's Capital Cost Allowance incentive, promoting domestic filmmaking. Post-production saw Curtis Hanson return to handle pick-up shots and editing after producers added a beheading scene, a decision opposed by Duke.
It won three Canadian Film Awards including Best Feature Film and Best Direction.
