Villain (1971)
Villain is a 1971 gangster film directed by Michael Tuchner and starring Richard Burton, Ian McShane, Nigel Davenport and Donald Sinden. It is based on James Barlow’s 1968 novel The Burden of Proof. Villain was director Michael Tuchner’s first feature film after directing in television.
As with other films of Villain’s same era and genre (Get Carter, A Clockwork Orange and The French Connection, for example), some of the violence is quite graphic, especially during the heist scene, and it foreshadows several 1970s cop TV shows such as The Sweeney, Target and Special Branch.
