Marathon Man

Dead Nazi Summer

Marathon Man

Directed by
John Schlesinger

Marathon ManAdapted by star screenwriter William Goldman (BUTCH CASSIDY, ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN, THE PRINCESS BRIDE) from his own novel, this striking potboiler (presented as part of our Dead Nazi Summer series) remains one of the most unique and harrowing entries in the subgenre of paranoid 70s thrillers.

Thomas “Babe” Levy (Dustin Hoffman) is a Columbia graduate student and long-distance runner who is oblivious to the fact that his older brother, Doc (Roy Scheider), is a government agent chasing down a Nazi war criminal (Laurence Olivier) – that is, until Doc is murdered and Babe finds himself knee-deep in a tangle of stolen gems and sadistic madmen. Even his girlfriend, Elsa (Marthe Keller), becomes a suspect as everything Babe believed to be true is suddenly turned upside down.

“As well-crafted escapist entertainment, as a diabolical thriller, [MARATHON MAN] works with relentless skill.” – Roger Ebert
