Ну очень мощный фильм! Все актеры играют великолепно! Берт Ланкастер супер! Особый шарм фильму придают нарочито медленные и спокойные диалоги главного героя, Шерифа и пр. Сейчас таких фильмов не снимают даже близко! Два часа пролетели как миг! Спасибо!!!
Espectacular y gran actor, con tanta capacidad, diversidad y talento....de los mejores actores de la historia del cine. Un lujo cada película que le he visto. : Veracruz, Los Profesionales, El Tren, Apache, El Hombre De Kentucky, Aeropuerto 70...etc....
UPDATE: this movie was a real family affair. The gardener is Burt's life-long friend, Nick Cravat. Burt shared writing/producing/directing credits with Roland Kibbee, a friend and colleague from almost the start of Burt's career. The woman evangelist on the radio is Kibbee's wife, whom you know as the judge on Matlock as well as other roles. Norlan is Burt and Roland's production company. Aside from Bill Lancaster's role. I'll bet every kid of a famous father would love to tell him where to go at least once in his life and Bill got to do it here on film. I love how Lancaster manages to make a really nasty scene be about humanity not the nastiness.
One of Bert's last dialogues. He chose a good one. His roles through life stood for virtue in some way to reflect the decency of man. We can't say the same for men who mislead today. So hold on. All is not said and done.
Great quality copy. Perfect focus, color, sound. Crystal. Kind of a stupid story, but, what are you going to do . . . Based on the story The Midnight Lady and the Morning Man, by David Anthony . . . Produced and screenwritten by Burt Lancaster, et al.
Well that schocked my socks off. What a cast, what a Film😮😂😊 I had no idea Burt Lancaster could possibly act the cool calm, interesting, clever, sluth! Such a breath of fresh air. Whoever put this on utube, Thank You.

You’re absolutely sure that there are no parole officers who lead their vulnerable parolee into lesbianism and eventual murder and then blackmail her senator father? Hmm
@@donniemayer I’m fairly certain that particularly immoral parole officers like the one portrayed here may still exist. The same with movies with convoluted plots and “made for TV” production values. Gotta love me some Burt Lancaster any day though.
Started slow, but lots of twists and turns, plus hair spinning surviving real life scenes of kill or be killed life N death fighting in the barn was the best breaking point of action scene in this movie, like Sherlock Homes episode all have that!
I'm not a big Burt Lancaster fan but he was good in this movie and she was sexy. It had some, what to me, were tired scenes toward the end but most of it was pretty good. I found it interesting to see a guy from the 1940s in the early 70s because this was more deliberately frank than anything from 30 years before. The film quality was very good, too.
Muy buena película me atrapo todo el tiempo,policial bien echo 🎥🇺🇲🗽 muy bien Burt Lancaster y la chica la e visto en otras películas pero no recuerdo, el elenco muchos conocidos de muchas series de los sesenta
@@xmillion1704 I still don't think that a blanket policy like this is warranted. It really should depend on the circumstances , character and other factors of the parolee. I don't like one-size-fits-all anything. It's lazy and stupid.
@ I get it. I mean if you can get pretty much anything you want in prison, (if what we’re told is true), then what’s the point, I guess? Is that where you’re at? Cause it seems a valid point.
Twists & turns & even a few loop T loops !!! All in all; as equally underrated as the above. ~Just another one of those many one's of... ''We His Believer's'' Who's patiently waiting & watching for '.' His✝Just⚖Return🪃'.'
The only Bert Lancaster character that I can recall not liking was in the movie "The Swimmer". I thought the story was dumb also. Just not an interesting movie. An excellent actor.
i saw that years ago, supposed to be enigmatic, , i'm all for morality but i'm so jaded now that here's how the story ends for me, burt and linda get the money, she somehow gets him off parole and they go off somewhere nice!
This was a hella' complex script! Lancaster co-wrote, co-directed, and starred. I imagined one of those walls with all the characters pictures and string going from one to the other trying to connect all the suspects! 😂 Of course, a parole officer would never be romantic with her parolee....unless she was manipulating him. A convicted felon would never get away with shooting three people... even in self-defense. But it's 1974. It's just entertainment. 😂
@@fredstockgate5029 Hmm Common sense would dictate that it is folly for a Parole officer to get involved with her parolee. Not only that, but it was likely a code of conduct violation. As her common sense had her conspiring in a blackmail felony . . . did you think that through before posting?
Due for a remake ,kinda predictable till the end then got brilliant, I never saw it coming, unfortunately Hollywood sucks and would make a diverse pile of shit out of it
What an ironic post given that the great Burt Lancaster as co-writer, co-producer, co-director and leading man in this film was well known as being the loudest voice of his generation in Hollywood in support of progressive political values including diversity.
Burt looks tired and sleep walks thru this one. A long narration at the end is required to sort this one out . Signs of a tight budget. But his best role is still ahead 12 yrs later in Field of Dreams.
@@shankarbalan3813 There’s never been an age in human history, going back to Bible times, where those in charge were not subjected to violence, including murder, from those of whom they were in charge.
A movie from the Golden Age of Smoking! Loved how people lit up anywhere anytime. That's why America went downhill: people weren't allowed to smoke wherever they wanted anymore. Sure, the coffin nails will kill you, but America faces a fate worse than death because the law gave into the whiners who didn't like smoke blown in their faces. It's time to allow smoking everywhere if you want America to be Great Again!
There are cases of non-smoking spouses of smokers getting cancer or COPD from living with a smoker. Smoking around children is child abuse. Smokers are drug addicts and pose a threat to everyone around them. Tobacco and alcohol are gateway drugs - you will seldom see a heroin, crack, or fentanyl addict who is not also a tobacco smoker. These drug addicts often approach me on the street (every day) and ask me for a cigarette or a light for a cigarette.
@@Unit8200-rl8ev Yes, smokers are drug addicts, but I see my hypothesis has not been addressed in any of these comments. Yours does mention the horrible collateral damage but that wasn't the point of my analysis. Is it correct or not? Was my tongue so firmly in my cheek that it affected my brain? These are the questions that need to be answered, not health issues, which so concern the bleedinghearts who worry so much about such trivial matters.
The musical scoring was thanks to the aptly internationally highly lauded jazz pianist/ composer/ arranger, Dave Grusin. It is a product of its time and seemed to fit well with the overall, admittedly dated, production values of the film.
Yes he was a great actor and a great circus performer. He was very liberal but the thing of it is Joe Biden and his administration would literally make him sick at his stomach JFK would not be happy either
By “English”, they were referring to the language, of course. I do agree that describing it as “American” would be more specific for those who care. There have been times when U.S./UK coproductions were not uncommon.
@@fungfrancis7156 It’s clear that she isn’t a murderer. She conspired with blackmailers, some of whom ended up murdering without her acquiescence or participation. Just rewatch from your favorite scene to the end, especially her monologue @1:51:50 or so. It’s quite clear.

This movie proves what a versatile actor Burt L was, I have seen him in westerns and dramas. I think one of his best was the The Train.
I liked him in Field of Dreams too
The Train was excellent.
Just seen him in 7 Days in May. Excellent.

Burt and the rest of the cast made this one GOOD MOVIE!
Burt Lancaster is the legend....Midnight Man was a wicked mystery and Lancaster was the detective.
