The Midnight Man (1974)


Universal Pictures
Directed by Roland Kibbee and Burt Lancaster
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Rarefilmm) 

Disgraced policeman Burt Lancaster takes a job as a night security guard at a small college while on parole. He becomes the suspect in a murder of a coed (Catherine  Bach in her film debut) and has to investigate to clear himself. His old detective skills from the big city are put to good use, and he is always a step ahead of the local police. Clues eventually lead him to conclude that his friends, both old and new, may not be what they seem. Long, convoluted cop drama, badly dated by dialogue and music, a real curiosity in the Lancaster catalog.
