The Split **** (1968, Jim Brown, Diahann Carroll, Ernest Borgnine, Julie Harris, Gene Hackman, Jack Klugman, Warren Oates, James Whitmore, Donald Sutherland) – Classic Movie Review 11,971

The 1968 film The Split stars Gene Hackman.

Director Gordon Flemyng’s 1968 film The Split stars Jim Brown, Diahann Carroll, Ernest Borgnine, Julie Harris, Gene Hackman, Jack Klugman, Warren Oates, James Whitmore, and Donald Sutherland.

Brown and Harris plan an LA football stadium robbery in this gorily tough, tightly made, carefully plotted thriller based on Richard Stark’s thriller The Seventh.

The 1968 film The Split stars Ernest Borgnine.

There is strong direction and an even stronger script (Robert Sabaroff), and the special cast and Quincy Jones’s music are further bonuses.

Producers Robert Chartoff and Irwin Winkler had just made Stark’s Point Blank.

Stark is also known as Donald E Westlake.
