The 1976 political thriller, Marathon Man, has been one of my favourites ever since I first saw it on TV as a youth. It features great performances from two legendary actors, Dustin Hoffman and Laurence Olivier. The film weaves a tale of a former Nazi death camp doctor visiting New York City to reclaim the wealth stored in a US bank vault.
Info from Wikipedia: Marathon Man is a 1976 American thriller film directed by John Schlesinger. It was adapted by William Goldman from his 1974 novel of the same title and stars Dustin Hoffman, Laurence Olivier, Roy Scheider, William Devane and Marthe Keller. In the film, "Babe" Levy, a graduate student, becomes embroiled in a plot by Nazi war criminal Christian Szell to retrieve ill-gotten diamonds from a safe deposit box owned by Szell's dead brother. Babe becomes unwittingly involved due to his brother Doc's dealings with Szell.
The film was a critical and box-office success. Olivier received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Szell, the film's antagonist.

I COMPLETELY accepted Hoffman as a 25 year old graduate student. Had no idea until this video that he was nearly forty!

@stephenpmurphy591 3 месяца назад

I remember thinking watching Marathon Man back then Hoffman was a little long in the tooth playing a college student. Edit: however I did believe 100% he was a Marathon runner and it's one of my favorite movies. A true gem.

Yes, that period of time was full of extremely creative writers and actors who were willing to do new things, and were intelligent in a classic way. Before it became all about insanely expensive blockbusters in the late 1990's and on, and now creativity has gone by the wayside because of the desire to make globalistic films. Globalism removes any personal meanings from cinema.

One of the greatest films in cinema history! This film was brilliant. Dustin Hoffman, Laurence Olivier, Roy Scheider, and William Devane gave us a performance of a lifetime! This film shows us how all mystery and thrillers should be made! My favorite character was Doc by Roy Scheider. He was so cool, classy, masculine, and smooth, yet dangerous as fuck! He was also one of the best characters in cinema history as well in this legendary film in my opinion! This legendary film also has a very special place in my heart because it captures the essence of life in NYC during the 1970s when I was growing up. A crazy fucking time to be living in the Big Apple 🍎!

@zroy9526: I am with you about Marathon Man full on except for one thing which sadly wrecks a good portion of the film. That is - the horrible, distorted, mind numbing excuse for a musical score.

Totally agree with everybody here. It had to do with a lot of elements. Starting with the visuals. The film was the 35mm usually from kodak which provided that soft touch. Also the lightning wasnt as direct as later years. The photographers relied morebon natural light. So we had darker scenes that nonetheless seemed more realistic. And you might as well start talking about the stories and the edition.

Help me, it's der Weise angel!!" and everyone looks at her likes she's crazy and does nothing. Impossible !! I worked in the diamond district in the 1970s, and believe me, if an old woman screamed "Stop him, it's der Weise Angel". the shops would have EMPTIED of people running after him. Even if they didn't know specifically who the White Angel was -- EVERYONE WOULD HAVE KNOWN that that woman had uncovered a Nazi criminal. It's the one unbelievable part of the film and a serious error in an otherwise brilliant movie.

Better than 'nice' clip of Hoffman and Olivier appreciating each other. I saw Marathon Man on cable tv. It is the movie I became a fan of Dustin Hoffman and William Goldman. I read the book Magic soon after seeing Marathon Man. But, I was not allowed to see Magic in the theatre because I was only in 6th grade upon its release. Too much sex, Ann-Margret, and a killer puppet, I presume. Anyways, I remember a story I heard of Olivier working on some early stage work (Shakespeare, I'm sure) and he was sitting in his dressing room, after the performance, horrified, feeling his performance was a blurred, unmitigated disaster (caused by stage fright?). When some other people he worked with and /or director, et cetera, knocked to see Olivier, still in his dressing room, he was drowning his sorrows in the bottom of a whiskey bottle only to discover everyone was saying the play was a smash and he was brilliant (Hope this story I heard isn't a myth).

I think this film, btw, was absolutely the most terrifying movie I had ever seen when I rented it on VHS. Plus, during the Academy Awards, they played the "is it safe?" scene and, similar to clips from other movies I was too young to see in the theater, like "The Last Detail", we relied upon the Oscars to see clips from movies we couldn't legally see (and being a kid, I had no money to see anyway.....) I always felt bad that Olivier lost the great love of his life, Vivien Leigh, but I am pleased to see he married Joan Plowright. Lately we've been watching "The 49th Parallel" with a young Olivier, because for some reason, my husband adores it. Very unlike him.

Oh, Das Boot; one of my all time favorite foreign language films. The tension was palpable and the acting was incredible throughout.

I love it, and that's why it's in my collection. It will form part of a series on war films that I'm starting soon which will also include Battle of the Bulge, Zulu, The Battle of Britain, and Saving Private Ryan. Thanks for watching.

The film made me read the novel. Absolutely brilliant. Both.

Hi Ed, the YT algae pushed this up for me. I hope you have other bits of bonus material to run, and you’ve scripted well. One thing: I’d really like to hear your voice rather than comp generated. What sort of accent do you NOT want people to hear?

@mediamemorabilia 3 месяца назад

Using my own voice is something that I'm considering for the future. When the time comes, I'll test my narration on a video and ask my subscribers to vote on that change in a Community Poll.

My fave line from the film: “ Is it safe?” “Is what safe? Awwwwwwww!!!!!!! “ Is it safe?”” Yeah, it’s so safe you wouldn’t believe it”
