The Offence (1972)


Director - Sidney Lumet 

Gritty British cop drama staring Sean Connery as a cop that kills a suspect during an interrogation. Not quite up there with Lumet’s greatest films (Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, 12 Angry Men), but for a taught itchy '70s drama you could do far worse.

Gli orrori del castello di Norimberga [Baron Blood] (1972)



Director - Mario Bava 

Gothic horror set in the then modern day about an evil type being bought back to life by an idiot ancestor. As painful as it is to see the once great Joseph Cotten slumming it as the titular Baron this is a film that has lots going for it. Light on gore but has oodles more imagination that the majority of schlock that passes for horror nowadays.
