The Anderson Tapes (1971)

[Edgy MD]

Sean Connery plays Duke Anderson, a master thief just out of jail and unrepentently right back in action, finding himself in a new world of electronic surveillance and the accompanying buzzes and beeps of new electronic technologies, which director Sidney Lumet and composer Qunicy Jones underscore for reasons that I suspect, but aren't exactly clear to me.

This was tentatively recommended by Vic Sage in the Lumet thread, but I'm still chewing on it.

i saw it ages ago on tv, and remember really liking it, but i'd need to see it again to rate it.

It took a while to realize it, but it would seemingly have a prescient point to make in post 9/11 America, in that everything is under surveillance, and nobody knows what's going on.

My favorite Lumet film because it didn't go out of the way to hammer home its points.
