Anderson Tapes, TheBefore launching upon his acclaimed run of films in the late 1970, Sidney Lumet crafted this classic paranoid thriller.
With Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon and Network just around the corner, Lumet took Sean Connery (fresh from abandoning Bond after Diamonds Are Forever) and cast him as recently released master burglar John Anderson.
Anderson moves into a plush Manhattan apartment block with his old girlfriend Ingrid (Cannon). Planning to rob the other residents, he doesn't realise that, by chance, all his moves and plans are being recorded and observed by a range of devices. He is being scrupulously watched, and not just by the police.
A fresh faced Christopher Walken stars as Anderson's sidekick, simply called The Kid.
Although The Anderson Tapes isn't as artful as Francis Ford Coppola's 1974 filmThe Conversation, which dealt with comparable themes, it's still an entertaining caper concerned with anxieties about voyeurism and surveillance.
