Man on a Swing

A small-town police chief, Lee Tucker (Cliff Robertson) investigating the murder of a young woman is offered help by a supposed clairvoyant, Franklin Wills (Joel Grey), who gives him details of the crime that he's seen in visions. The details are startlingly correct, but Tucker is not convinced that Wills is indeed clairvoyant and begins to suspect him of the murder. Man on a Swing, based on a true case, is a puzzling crime thriller, directed by Frank Perry (Mommie Dearest). The film includes a great cast of character actors: George Voskovec (12 Angry Men), Lane Smith (My Cousin Vinny) and Josef Sommer (Witness).
