The Agency Review Jul 5

Books that movies are based on fall into two categories – “book is better than the movie” and “movie is better than the book”. And then there’s #ThePrincessBride. Our review: http://the-agency-review.com/the-princess-bride/ #WilliamGoldman

Dustin Hoffman – „Marathon Man“ (1976)

Wie oft ich diesen Film gesehen habe, weiß ich wirklich nicht mehr. In fast 50 Jahren hat er allerdings nichts von seinem Eindruck auf mich eingebüßt. Ein richtig harter Thriller.

This evening's viewing distraction: some classic 70s real-life conspiracy with All The President's Men. Redford and Hoffman, Alun Pakula directing, William Goldman scripting, adapting from Woodward & Bernstein's book of the investigation. 70s gold.

I _highly_ recommend reading the book _and_ watching the movie, although the order doesn't matter so much. They are immensely complementary. The author is just friggin amazing.
