#50: Marathon Man (1976)

Show Notes Dustin Hoffman is on the run this week in 1976’s Marathon Man. We return to William Goldman, never disappointing, for this one as he adapted his own novel. And this thing is a rocket from beginning to end! Does it make perfect sense? Absolutely not! Did Lemuel have to tell Amity 20 minutes in that Roy Scheider and Dustin Hoffman were brothers? Yes! But she would have found out soon anyway. Do we lament the lack of a kiss between Scheider and William Devane? Of course! And finally – would we eat a diamond? Listen to see if we tell you.   Recommendations: The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker (Netflix); The PEZ Outlaw (Netflix)   Next up: Ben Hur (1959)                                                                                            Email us at [email protected] Twitter: @latecomerspod Find Amity @ www.amityarmstrong.com and @AmityArmstrong on Twitter Our Facebook group is here for those who consent: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1754020081574479/
