Three Days of the Condor (1975)
No one can make a suspenseful political movie in the 1970s like Robert Redford can! If you liked All the President’s Men or a slightly older Redford in Truth, add Three Days of the Condor to your list this weekend.
In this one, he plays an analyst for the CIA. He turns in a seemingly innocuous report, but soon afterwards, everyone in his office gets killed. He tries to reach out to the CIA for protection, but finds out no one can be trusted and nowhere is safe. . .
Besides that slightly cheesy plot description, there’s really nothing cheesy about this political thriller. It’s not an action comedy; you’re not going to hear Robert Redford cracking jokes after killing someone. This is a strict drama, with tensions mounting slowly like a modern-day Hitchcock movie. And, in true 70s style, there’s lots of fluffy hairdos, aviator sunglasses, mustaches, and Faye Dunaway. Also, I’m not going to give anything away, but Cliff Robertson’s famous social commentary speech is from this movie—in case you’ve seen that clip on tv or during a political film montage. This is the kind of movie that will make you think, and it’s just as relevant today as it was forty years ago.
