HAIKU Monday Theme for March 7th is here.
Out favorite punch thrower, BOXER, is hostess of Movie Clip Wednesday--she announces a theme an we scour the innerweb fer clips for our submission for the movie that best represents that theme--y'all come play!
MCW: Political Thriller
"I don't interest myself in why..."
From Sydney Pollack in 1975, THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR
Robert Redford, Faye Dunaway, Cliff Robertson--a very young Redford, a very young Dunaway star in a early suspicion that "The Company" eats its own.
Redford had the introvert's dream job, complete wif' rimless hippie spectacles, of jes' sittin' in a nice Georgetown house readin' newspapers and articles ...jes' a nice non-violent dreamer's job of lookin' fer patterns. He's low man on the totem pole, an' sent off to fetch lunch fer the office--only to return an' find the Valentine Massacre came a'callin'. Ever'body daid, 'cept our boy. An he knows that they know he ain't daid--an the fun begins. What wuz it all about? Well, it's still about the same thang--take a look.

I totally missed this movie or if I saw it, I can't remember and I think I would because I remember everything I saw with Robert Redford.
I'm also a fan of Sydney Pollack, so this will go on my list for future watches. Thank you for playing this week!

Hey Boxer-babe!!
Sorry for the failed link--fixed it now.
I think it is a good movie--an the main theme still applies. Blond fellas ain't mah usual preference, but Redford wuz a dern good one--though he ain't aged too well.
HAppy MCW!
One of my faves of the genre, and I nearly chose it (Marathon Man was third). Redford was very appealing when young, but he just didn't age well. Nor do I care for his politics :o). Faye, on the other hand, still looks amazing. Happy MCW, Aunty!
Good afternoon Auntie Belle,
Wow, it's been a long time, since I've seen this. And it's still all about oil. That was a real good clip. I never noticed it before, but Redford keeps taking his eyes off of the operations director. Not a good thing to do in that situation.
Happy clip day!
Karl beat me to it. It's always about the oil. I have never seen this but I wonder how close to reality it is?
Happy MCW!
haven't seen this one either! there are so many of these i haven't seen it turns out.
