Three Days of the Condor, 1975... Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway star...

In her biography "Looking for Gatsby", Faye Dunaway says of this film: "Now I'm sorry but the idea of being kidnapped and ravaged by Robert Redford was anything but frightening. [At one point, after Redford temporarily left the set and director Pollack took over his role for Dunaway's reaction shots] the cameras were rolling, I was in position, and suddenly Sydney lunged at me, growling 'I AM GOING TO GET YOU!'. I'm tied up at this point, unable to get away or move much at all, but Sydney kept moving toward me, his eyes glaring at me as he went on detailing all the horrible things he was going to do to me, and let me tell you, Sydney has an inventive mind. He is also a great actor, and he scared the hell out of me. Sydney kept the camera rolling and he was relentless".

Not a bad film. Based on the novel "Five Days of the Condor", so I presume they ran out of money and could only film three days worth. :D

I haven't seen that one Grant. Looks good - but then anything with the pairing of Bogart and Bacall can't be bad.

Stuntman Bill Williams was killed performing a stunt with a colleague during this shoot. The stunt called for Williams and another stuntman to guide a horse-drawn wagon toward a cliff. As the horses separated, both men were supposed to jump clear as the wagon continued over the cliff. Williams didn't manage to jump clear in time and died as a result of the fall. The scene was supposed to be deleted but the makers insisted on using it.

From the Author's Note in Bill Gulick's original book, he states that this is based on an actual historical incident and that "You would be surprised, dear reader, if you knew how much truth there is to the tale you are about to read."
