I can't belive I missed this gem.

Great story with wonderful acting. George Peppard does his normal great job. I had not know of the absolutely beautiful Jean Seberg before this movie. I read up about her and what a tragically short life. Even back then the FBI was playing games. This film has you certain who the killer is right up until the end.
Pendulum certainly addresses the Miranda decision, with regard to the rights of the accused. With the last lines of this movie the arguments for and against are summarized and the viewer is left to decide for themselves the answer.
The death penalty is also addressed and also has the viewer questioning its use. It is a very fine mystery. If you are a George Peppard fan you will like it even more.
