The Anderson Tapes

The Anderson Tapes (1971) starring Sean Connery, Dyan Cannon, Martin Balsam, Ralph Meeker, Alan King, Margaret Hamilton, Christopher Walken. Right after being released from prison, Duke Anderson (Connery) starts organizing another heist, this one of the apartment building where his girlfriend (Cannon) lives. What he doesn't realize is that his every move and every utterance is being taped by various authorities. When it comes time for the robbery to go down, a veritable army of cops is waiting to bring Anderson and his cohort to justice. This movie really has the look and feel of the '70s captured, from the typeface of the titles to the cheesy soundtrack by Quincy Jones. This is not one of Connery's finest films. (English subtitles are available for the hearing-impaired.) Grade: B-
