...and Jon Voight is its name. Woefully miscast as a Swiss police officer--no doubt in an effort to secure completion funding--Voight ruins what is otherwise a fine Durenmatt adaptation. The author himself has a cameo role, and Martin Ritt and Robert Shaw are both outstanding. Unfortunately Voight's Beatle haircut and appalling effort at a 'Germanic' accent left this viewer cold. When he's offscreen the film is slowly paced but intriguing. Fast forward through his bits and enjoy what's left, including an odd 'performance' by Donald Sutherland as a corpse.
