That's right. A great cast - Michael Caine, Donald Pleasence, Clive Revill, John Vernon, and Joss Ackland - and an awesome score by the great Roy Budd. A tense and occasionally brutal thriller that could have only been made in the '70s.



And you aced all of my clues, too.

My last shot would have been
Spoiler:
Caine shooting Vernon in the crotch with an Ingram MAC-10, in one of the great bad guy deaths.

Never seen it, but now I want to. And Netflix doesn't have it.

I'll have to keep an eye on TCM. It shows up in their library (too bad they didn't show it on Michael Caine day last Friday).

Unfortunately, it's only available in R2. I have a Spanish release under the title "El Molino Negro" that Xploited used to carry, but now they only have a UK edition that's twice as expensive (their product description has a big spoiler in it, too).

I'm not so sure the TCM database only includes movies in their library (the way it used to), so I may be out of luck there too.

Here we go again. First pic:

Nope.

Rockmjd23's guess was closest to the correct date. JumpCutz's guess was in the correct genre.

You got it.



The next two shots would've been giveaways.


A recognizable face in an early role.


The film's title within the film.
