Marathon Man (1976 John Schlesinger)

This is a class act all round from Hoffman, Roy Scheider (always great to see him), Olivier (& Marthe Keller) to Jim Clark's editing and Conrad Hall's photography (he manages to blow out his windows while keeping foregrounds perfectly lit; lovely little touches of light here and there) and all from William Goldman novel / script.

I liked Hoffman's "It isn't safe" and also the gang who he gets to burglarise his apartment.

Roy died in 2008 - one of his last jobs was in Family Guy episode "Three Kings".

"Die Weisse Engel"!
