The Silent Partner. A mild-mannered bank teller (Elliot Gould) suspects that a department store Santa (Christopher Plummer) is planning a robbery, and makes plans so that when he does, he ends up stiffing him, taking most of the money for himself and leaving the blame on the robber. But Plummer soon works out what he did, and he's not impressed... Susannah York co-stars in this unremarkable but still entertaining late 70s Canadian thriller, which also has a small early role for comedy legend John Candy.
