Three Days of the Condor (1975)

(One of my favorites)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073802/?ref_=tt_trv_cnn

There are those who see a connection to Spy Game (2001) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266987/?ref_=nv_sr_7
I see the connection but there's nothing direct at all linking the two.

Any opinions on the possible link?
Could the Nathan Muir character be a matured Joe Turner?



For anyone interested there will be a TV series based on Three Days of the Condor airing next January.

"conspiracy theory" movies.

"Three Days of the Condor" shows up on TV a lot. I don't know what I've missed by not seeing the film or DVD.

Thanks.

...what usually appears on TV.

You're probably also a fan of Enemy of the State, which is another favorite of mine.

For the first time last night. Retro showed that and Condor back to back - preceded by A Bridge Too Far.

It's like they were making a social statement about our current course as a country yesterday.

Nah, that's money they're making.
Not that they aren't using current affairs to their best advantage...

Like "Chinatown," this movie hits 'the paradigm' perfectly and demonstrates the simplest way to keep people in their seats!
