Is
it safe? From the best-selling novel by William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the
Sundance Kid, All the President’s Men, Misery) comes one of the most daring and
affecting thrillers ever brought to the screen. Dustin Hoffman (Papillon) plays
the likable graduate student and marathon runner of the title, unwillingly
trapped in a killing game of intrigue involving a Nazi fugitive, Christian
Szell. Laurence Olivier (Sleuth) received an Academy Award nomination for his
chilling portrayal of Szell, who turns dental instruments into tools of torture
with dispassionate ease. Directed by John Schlesinger (Billy Liar, Midnight Cowboy,
The Day of the Locust), Marathon Man moves with nail-biting suspense to its
gripping, fever-pitched conclusion. Featuring Roy Scheider (Jaws), William
Devane (Rolling Thunder), Marthe Keller (Black Sunday) and the extraordinary
cinematography of Conrad Hall (Electra Glide in Blue).
