![]() ![]() Lancaster and co-director/writer Roland Kibbee put together a very good cast. The Midnight Man is a good and complex tale of murder and blackmail and was shot on Clemson College campus on location for a good ring of authenticity. ![]() Of course they all arise out of the initial incident. Of course this is the job of the local sheriff Harris Yulin, but Lancaster's instincts just take over and before long three other murders occur. No sooner does he arrive there than the murder of a pretty and popular coed occur and an incriminating diary she kept goes missing. Now released from prison and on parole, he gets a job courtesy of an old police buddy Cameron Mitchell as a campus security guard at a small southern college. In The Midnight Man Lancaster plays a former police detective who did a stretch for homicide himself, he killed his wife's lover. Why it was panned by so many critics is as big a mystery as the one Burt Lancaster has to solve. ![]() I was lucky enough to catch it theaters back in the day and a few times on television. Burt Lancaster's last attempt at directing was in this sadly neglected film, The Midnight Man.
