THE ANDERSON TAPES
Sidney Lumet directs Sean Connery as Duke Anderson, a safecracker fresh from the pen, who hooks up with former girlfriend Ingrid Everleigh (AFI DWW Alum Dyan Cannon). Duke decides to clean out her apartment building over Labor Day weekend, with a team that includes antiques dealer Tommy Haskins (Martin Balsam) and electronics expert Kurt Spencer (Christopher Walken). But little do they know everything they say and do is being taped by the FBI, the IRS and the Bureau of Narcotics, who all have their eyes on the building. Quincy Jones’ electronic-infused score amplifies the film’s preoccupation with digital surveillance in this crime caper that was way ahead of its time.
