Synopsis
One of the most shocking fiIms of HoIIywood’s goIden age, The Sniper pits AdoIphe Menjou (State of the Union) against Arthur Franz (The Caine Mutiny) in a deadIy game of cat and mouse.
When misogynist delivery man Eddie goes on a killing spree, murdering women through the sights of his sniper rifIe, it falIs to detective Frank Kafka to second-guess his motives and put a stop to his rampage.
Directed by Edward Dmytryk (Murder, My Sweet), this chilling and controversial film noir is a favourite of Martin Scorsese, and has provided a prototype for films from Magnum Force to Se7en.
