I saw a movie about 20 years ...

Question: I saw a movie about 20 years ago with a bank teller and a sadistic bank robber. At the end, the robber winds up in drag (I don't remember why) and gets shot; the teller gets away with a lot of money. Do you know what it was?


Answer: It was a witty crime comedy called The Silent Partner (1978) and starred Elliott Gould and Christopher Plummer as the teller and the thief, respectively. The story's twist is that the teller actually scams the robber by withholding a chunk of cash during the holdup. The hard part is keeping it once the thief realizes that he's being accused of having stolen more money than he actually got away with and goes back to settle the score.
