Rogue Male**     
(GB TVM 1976)     

In pre-war Germany a British aristocrat claims to want to shoot at Hitler for the thrill of the hunt, but he soon becomes the hunted as the Nazis pursue him back to England.
Enjoyably tense thriller (previously made by Hollywood in 1941 as Man Hunt), in spite of limited 1970s BBC production values. One of its star's favourite roles, and an ideal one for him to get his teeth into.

Written by: Frederic Raphael, based on the novel by Geoffrey Household.
Producer: Mark Shivas.
Director: Clive Donner.
Starring: Peter O'Toole, Alastair Sim, John Standing, Harold Pinter, Cyd Hayman, Michael Byrne, Michael Sheard (as Hitler), Maureen Lipman.
Photography: Brian Tufano.
Music: Christopher Gunning.


Preceded by:
Time to Go**  
(GB TVM 1989. 12m.; Victims of British military occupation in Northern Ireland speak about the need for them to withdraw.; d: Ken Loach.)
