Sitting Target
Sitting Target (also known as Screaming Target ) is a 1972 British crime film directed by Douglas Hickox and starring Oliver Reed, Ian McShane and Jill St. John. It was based on the 1970 novel of the same name by Laurence Henderson.
Harry Lomart, a convicted murderer, and Birdy Williams are convicts planning a breakout. Before the two men can abscond to another country, Lomart gets word that his wife Pat has been having an affair with another man and has become pregnant.
The two men had made plans to lie low after their escape from jail, but Lomart decides to find and kill his wife and the man she has been seeing. Inspector Milton is assigned to apprehend the two escaped convicts.
The film is based on a novel by Laurence Henderson that was published in 1970. The original novel focused on a duel between the escaped convict and Sergeant Milton.
The Evening Standard called it "a sleep banishing pursuit story."
The movie was made by MGM's British arm, under the auspices of Robert Littman.
Douglas Hickox was signed to direct in July 1971. Filming started in September 1971.
Due to restrictions about filming in British prisons, the prison sequences were filmed in Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin. The Winstanley and York Road Estates in Battersea feature prominently throughout the film as the setting for many of the action sequences of the main protagonist.
