Black Sunday (1977)

Black Sunday (1977, USA) C-143m. SCOPE *** D: John Frankenheimer. Starring Robert Shaw, Bruce Dern, Marthe Keller, Bekim Fehmiu, Fritz Weaver, Steven Keats, John Frankenheimer. Long but engrossing, very well-acted thriller about Israeli terrorists Keller and Dern, who painstakingly prepare a terror act during the Super Bowl. Shaw plays their adversary, who develops a personal grudge. Not very spctacular, but good storytelling, excellent cast make this a winner. Adapted from Thomas Harris' novel. Well-scored by John Williams. This is similar to (but better than) TWO MINUTE WARNING (1976).
