Review of Marathon Man (1976) by Will D — 12 Feb 2012
Very good film but not as good or as suspenseful as Boys From Brazil. Laurence Olivier was great as always but I thought he was better in Boys from Brazil than he was in Marathon Man. He was sadistic but he didn't have the same evil touch that Gregory Peck did.
Dustin Hoffman was also good and the script was good too. Good pacing and directing by Schlesinger although not on the level of Midnight Cowboy in terms of Schlesinger's works.
