The Silent Partner is a 1978 Canadian thriller film directed by Daryl Duke and starring Elliott Gould, Christopher Plummer, and Susannah York. The screenplay by Curtis Hanson is based on the novel Think of a Number (Tænk på et tal) by Danish writer Anders Bodelsen, and is the third filmed adaptation of the novel.
What truly elevates The Silent Partner beyond an extraordinarily well written diversion is the essential darkness of the symbiotic relationship between Gould and Plummer.
