The TVI Take

John Schlesinger's 1976 thriller anchored by Dustin Hoffman and Laurence Olivier — the canonical 'is it safe?' dentist-torture sequence and the Method-vs-British acting collision between Hoffman and Olivier. The structural commitment to letting Hoffman's graduate-student protagonist be progressively drawn into Nazi-fugitive-hunting espionage is canonical 1970s Hollywood paranoia-thriller register.
