	Marathon Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marathon Man is a 1974 paranoid thriller novel by William Goldman that was made into a 1976 film directed by John Schlesinger.
		The story is about a former Nazi SS dentist from Auschwitz, Dr. Christian Szell (presumably modelled, at least in part, on the real-life Josef Mengele), now residing in Uruguay, trying to smuggle a large quantity of diamonds out of the U.S. This involves an ultra-secret intelligence agency called "The Division".
		In 1976, Marathon Man was made into a film starring Dustin Hoffman as Babe and Laurence Olivier as Dr. Szell.

	DVD Review: Marathon Man
		At a little bit over two hours, "Marathon Man" would probably be trimmed to be even faster paced for today's audiences, yet, I felt that it still moves along at a crisp enough pace to be enjoyable.
		"Marathon Man" is no different, as the picture remains suprisingly free of print flaws; there's a few speckles now and then, but certainly less than I'd expect for a picture that's over 20 years old.
		Final Thoughts: "Marathon Man" is remains a terrific thriller with superb performances across the board.

	Marathon Man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		I had read about someone’s experience running a marathon, and how his muscles locked up as if he were paralyzed, how he had almost passed out from dehydration and fatigue, and how he couldn’t walk on his feet for three days after the race.
		I completed the race in under 4 hours, which meant that by the time I crossed the finish line the winners had already gone home, showered, ate their holiday feast, and were sitting down to coffee and cake and watching the second half of the Cowboys game.
		I had completed a marathon, a feat my mother, family, and closest friends had bet so heavily against happening, that a couple of them had to take out second mortgages to pay off the bookies.

	DVD Times - Marathon Man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		If Marathon Man is more well known than most other paranoid thrillers of the seventies, it's because of that torture sequence, one which had thousands of viewers rushing from the cinema clutching their mouths in shock.
		Much of the fun of Marathon Man comes from unravelling the various plot strands so I will not say too much more about the story apart from suggesting that this is a rare case when the needless convolutions of the plot add to the enjoyment of the film rather than detracting from it.
		I don't think Marathon Man is a particularly important film, nor as politically insightful as some people have claimed, but it is first class entertainment done with as much style as you could want.

	MARATHON MAN - DVD
		Marathon Man is a story about endurance--one that can be expanded to encompass the enduring nature of humanity and most particularly the enduring spirit of the American people in a post-Vietnam, post-Watergate, post-JFK, RFK, MLK assassination cynicism and malaise.
		Marathon Man is a statement about the strength of the United States: that bull-headed will to power despite the arrows of outrageous fortune painting its flanks.
		A documentary called "Going the Distance: Remembering Marathon Man" (30 mins.) made especially for this release is packed with surprising new interviews from Hoffman, Scheider, Evans, and Goldman that detail the cast's collective affection for both Schlesinger and Olivier.

		"Marathon Man" is often considered a classic of the thriller genre, and it certainly is. It has its flaws, and sometimes it seems a bit average from a technical viewpoint, but it set the stage for many gritty, coarse thrillers that would follow in later years.
		Two very important films of Dustin Hoffman's career came out in 1976: "All the President's Men" and, of course, "Marathon Man." They are both universally regarded as some of his best work, and it's not a surprising fact, really, since it's true that they really are some of his best work.
		"Marathon Man" is cold, hard, gritty and dirty, and one of the best of the genre.

	DVD Verdict Review - Marathon Man
		Marathon Man is a really a very bleak look at the unity of deception and greed.
		Marathon Man is also surrounded by a good supporting cast, including Roy Scheider as Babe's brother, and William Devane as a slimy agent who isn't what he seems.
		For some reason Marathon Man tends to look a bit soft, which I assume is the result of the use of filters during the shoot.

	Michelle Malkin: JOHN KERRY: MARATHON MAN
		Unofficial runners do not pay to run (the costs involved in hosting a marathon are not trivial); they have a tendency to line up at the starting line ahead of registered runners; and they increase the likelihood of error in the recording of finishing times of registered runners.
		Running unofficially at Boston in the 1970s or 1980s would have been an especially egregious breach of runners' etiquette because it was the nation's most prestigious race and entry was limited to those who had met a tough qualifying time.
		While I share your opinion that Kerry is a serial liar and I think he is a sociopath, I should point out that running in the Boston Marathon as an unregistered "bandit" was hardly a "major no-no," at least in the 70's thru early 80's (when I lived there).

	Marathon Man
		Heaving a sigh, the younger man leaned against the Detective’s desk. “Look, Jim, no one wants to see that happen more than me. But this is an opportunity I can’t pass up. It’s an honor to be trusted with this, and it’s a way for me to score points with the powers that be.”
		Slapping Sandburg on the shoulder, Rafe said, “Good job, hairboy. We’ll see you on Monday,” before turning back and heading for the third vehicle in the line-up. A minute later, he and Henri were driving off, blowing the horn as they passed the two men on the sidewalk.
		A short time later, Jim was helping the smaller man into the loft. Blair was barely moving now, every step an effort. His knees were sending arrows of pain up and down his legs, causing him to walk stiff-legged as he kept from bending his knees any more than absolutely necessary.
