Episode 125 - The Offence (1973)

Reel Britannia - a very British podcast about very British movies...with just a hint of professionalism. The darkest of dramas this week as Scott is joined by his Stinking Pause Podcast co hosts, Paul and Charlie to chat about Sidney Lumet, Sean Connery, Trevor Howard, Ian Bannen....and Bracknell. The Offence (1973) A veteran British police inspector, Sgt. Johnson (Sean Connery), has grown increasingly disturbed by the rapes and murders he has investigated over the years. When he finds a young girl in the woods who has been raped, police begin searching for a suspect. When Kenneth Baxter (Ian Bannen) is brought in for questioning, Johnson snaps, beating him during an unauthorized interrogation. Lt. Cartwright (Trevor Howard) is then brought in to interview him about the incident.   "Nothing I have done can be one half as bad as the thoughts in your head."   You can find this and all our previous episodes everywhere you download your podcasts Follow us on Twitter @rbritanniapod Join us over at our Facebook Group ….we'd love to chat with you   email: [email protected]   #podcast #britmovie #reelbritannia #theoffenc #seanconnery   Thanks for listening Scott, Paul and Charlie
