Marathon Man was huge, then got forgotten. It still thrills, it’s a NYC time capsule, and it might be the best 1970s paranoia thriller.

Marathon Man screenplay nerd note: it opens with a Jew vs Nazi chase in Manhattan, then keeps re-staging that chase dynamic until the dental chair torture scene hits like a hammer.

Eccleston on the Doctor’s humor: he leaned into the silliness to shake the “miserable guy” label, then watched a couple episodes, felt he overplayed it, and finessed the goofiness.
