Christopher Plummer gets to play big, bad, and bold as
the villain of The Silent Partner, a thriller set in late 1970's Toronto. Using the Eaton
Centre as a prime location, The Silent Partner also stars Elliot Gould as a bank clerk out to thwart
Plummer's plans. Great fun, and more than a little shocking at times for its
ferocious depiction of ruthless criminality. This film was written by Curtis
Hanson, who later went on to direct L.A. Confidential, The River Wild,Wonder Boys and 8 Mile. A highlight of the Tax Shelter Years, this film was one
of the more polished films of the era. Also starring Susannah Yorke. Watch for
an appearance by John Candy.Nov 27, 2013
