• Directed by: John Schlesinger
• Cast: Dustin Hoffman, Laurence Olivier, Roy Scheider

Gripping Goldman-scripted thriller in which history postgrad and avid runner Babe Levy (Hoffman) finds himself investigating the doings of Nazi-war-criminal-turned-respectable-dentist Szell (Olivier). The atmosphere of paranoia is thick and the performances are excellent; notorious for the gruesome torture scene where unflappable Olivier goes orthodontic on Hoffman.
