William Goldman's paranoid thriller about a grad student at Columbia who gets pulled into a nightmare involving spies, diamonds, Joe McCarthy, an oil truck, a Nazi death camp doctor and some seriously painful dental work. When Laurence Olivier lays out his instruments and starts to go to work on Dustin Hoffman's teeth, you might want to think about leaving the room.
