Das nackte Gesicht (1984)

Das nackte Gesicht: Directed by Bryan Forbes. With Roger Moore, Rod Steiger, Elliott Gould, Art Carney. A Chicago psychoanalyst’s patient and secretary are murdered and he becomes the police’s prime suspect despite his claims that someone is trying to frame him.

“In this 1985 step away of the bond era Moore finally gets to make a great movie. This is probably his best movie, maybe not in acting, but the script is hard to beat. The naked face origins from a novel by Sidney Sheldon. The story is good and it differs from many other in the genre. It is not easy to predict the ending. That alone makes this film worth seeing. There are also other facts that makes this well worth seeing. Rod Steiger plays more than well, making his character disgusting from time to time. Moore acts well and so does all roles. To this one ads good music and you cannot get anything but a great film. I say not it is excellent, but it comes close enough to be more than recommended.”
