Bloomfield (released in the United States as The Hero) is a 1971 British-Israeli drama film directed by Richard Harris[2] and Uri Zohar.

[11] After he made the film Harris said he felt like putting an ad in Variety apologizing to all the directors he had worked with.

He called the film "a ghastly shlock piece of sentimental junk conceived by quite a talented writer.

"[15] The soundtrack of the film composed and produced by Johnny Harris includes a short version of "The Loner", a song co-written by Maurice Gibb and Lulu's brother Billy Lawrie.

The film was to have had its world premiere on Friday, November 6th, 1970, at the Savoy cinema in Harris' hometown of Limerick.

But just as the show was about to start, a phone call was received saying that a bomb had been planted in the cinema and the building was hurriedly evacuated.

Screened at the 1971 Berlin Film Festival, Rex Reed who was a judge called it "an appalling piece of self indulgent garbage.
