The Silent Partner (French title: L’argent de la banque) is a 1978 Canadian heist film and a remake of the 1969 Danish film Think of a Number (Tænk på et tal), based on a novel by Danish writer Anders Bodelsen. The film was directed by Daryl Duke and written by Curtis Hanson. It stars Elliott Gould, Christopher Plummer and Susannah York.
The film was the first to be produced by Carolco Pictures and one of the earliest films from within the country to take advantage of the Canadian government’s “Capital Cost Allowance” incentive plan, which gave production companies tax inducements to make commercial films in Canada. It has been called “one of the few truly good films to come out of the tax-shelter heyday of the 1970s.”
The Silent Partner is also notable for being one of the very few films to have a score composed by jazz great Oscar Peterson, and for featuring an early big-screen appearance by John Candy.
