The Midnight Man is a 1974 American neo noir mystery film starring and co-directed by Burt Lancaster. The film also stars Susan Clark, Cameron Mitchell, Morgan Woodward, Harris Yulin, Robert Quarry, Joan Lorring, Lawrence Dobkin, Ed Lauter, Mills Watson, Charles Tyner and Catherine Bach.

Production

Burt Lancaster shared directing credit with Roland Kibbee, and shared writing credit with Kibbee and author David Anthony, upon whose 1969 novel The Midnight Lady and the Mourning Man the film was based. The film was not a major success and Lancaster did not consider it to be among his better work. Other than 1955's The Kentuckian, this was Lancaster's only film as a director.

The film marked the first screen appearance of future television star Catherine Bach.

The Midnight Man was filmed in Clemson and the counties of Anderson and Pickens in South Carolina. Filming began on February 13, 1973, with the opening scenes in which Jim Slade arrives by bus.

The film was released on June 10, 1974, in New York and nationwide on June 14. It premiered at the Astro III theater in Clemson on March 14, 1974, with a red-carpet ceremony.
