The inimitable John Hurt and the great Richard Attenborough star in Richard Fleischer's 10 Rillington Place, a 1971 film about a once-notorious serial killer case, screening at Film Forum through next Thursday. Time Out's Keith Uhlich calls it an "underseen gem." Portraying killer John Reginald Christie, Richard Attenborough "is just exaggerated enough to remain credible...He remains a nondescript loner whom Fleischer and Attenborough insist we pay attention to, even as he slowly shatters the existence of his illiterate boarder (Hurt, doing the definitive take on “two sandwiches short of a picnic”). When Christie thereafter spirals into an undistinguished purgatory, the film gains in methodical momentum."
