Review of Marathon Man (1976) by Jeff C — 19 Feb 2009
"Is it safe?" - with these words uttered by Sir Lawrence Olivier, dentists everywhere saw a drop in business for years.
Personal note - this is the film that made me a lifetime Roy Scheider fan. The scene where he breaks his would-be assassin's spine w/ his bare hands would be re-enacted for years by my brother and I at the drop of a hat regardless of the setting, much to my Mom's chagrin.
Top-notch thriller that holds up very well. Nazis , stolen diamonds, nice performance by Dustin Hoffman.
