“Is it safe?”
If that question sounds eerily familiar to you spoken through a deep German accent, then you’ve experienced this movie before, and if not, then you’re in for ONE hell of a ride!
That dialogue is spoken by the late, great Sir Laurence Olivier delivering one of his finest latter career performances and also receiving an Oscar nomination for his work.
Dustin Hoffman is the main star however as the titular character, a marathon runner/grad student who inadvertently gets involved in a nasty plot involving diamonds, torture, and former Nazi officers now walking among us….in 1976 mind you.
It also co-stars ‘70’s icon Roy Scheider along with William Devane and Marthe Keller. Directed by John Schlesinger and written by William Goldman. Let’s revisit one of the more memorable conspiracy thrillers of the 1970’s.
WARNING: Features Audio of Anxiety-Inducing Torture Scene
Host: Geoff Gershon
Producer: Marlene Gershon
