Episode 074 - Midnight Express (1978)

Episode 074 of The Stinking Pause classic movie review podcast. This week Scott and Charlie take a look at Alan Parker's 'Midnight Express' starring Brad Davis and John Hurt.

 

Billy Hayes (Brad Davis) is a young American caught by Turkish police while attempting to smuggle hash out of Istanbul. He's tried and sent to prison for four years, where he endures all manner of privation and abuse. As he finishes up his time, he's shocked to learn that the Turkish High Court has added a further 30 years to his sentence. He is now thoroughly demoralized, and his life in prison grows increasingly unbearable until he concludes that escape is his only option.

A bonus episode of the Stinking Pause podcast for those that may not have caught up with Scott's other show Rainbow Valley.

Episode 072 - The Offence (1973)

Episode 072 - The Offence (1973)

One of the darkest movies we have reviewed. The Offence, directed by Sidney Lumet and starring Sean Connery, Ian Bannen, Trevor Howard and Vivien Merchant.

In Sidney Lumet's harrowing portrayal of police brutality, Detective Sergeant Johnson has been with the British Police Force for 20 years. In that time, the countless murders, rapes and other serious crimes he has had to investigate has left a terrible mark on him. His anger and aggression that had been suppressed for years finally surfaces when interviewing a suspect, Baxter, whom Johnson is convinced is the man that has been carrying out a series of brutal attacks on young girls. Throughout the interview Johnson brutally beats Baxter and during this ordeal we slowly discover dark deeply buried secrets.
