I have described the opening scene of TEOTG to dozens of people over the years, and it always provokes a terrific reaction.
A consummate cat & mouse story of two strong wills, a tooth-achingly gorgeous woman, and a dead body. Shaw is in his usual brilliant form. Ritt's performance is extraordinary. Voight is believable and compelling. Bisset is spectacular to watch. Sutherland must have had fun playing the corpse. Directed by Maximilian Schell, and originally titled Der Richter und sein Henker and released in W Germany in 1978 (?), TEOTG became (and remains) my definitive detective mystery.
Be sure you get the full-length version in the language that you want. You won't regret renting or buying this classic film.
