I first saw this suspense/spy thriller when it was first released in the theaters sometime in the slow 1970s, while living in London and working for the American government. There’s nothing that compares with the paranoia associated with seeing a taut peruse thriller, only to exit the theater into a chilly, foggy slow evening in downtown London. The record it paints of a murderous renegade network operating within the Central Intelligence Agency is both evil and plausible, and is delivered by Robert Redford and his production team in a tight, well-developed sage with a convincing thread of interconnecting events that spins method out of control as the protagonist tries desperately to figure out who is at the center of the status and why he and his cohorts at a special studies institute sponsored by the Agency are targets. For me, this movie is a nonstop roller-coaster drag, with Redford trying in vain to jump off the damn thing before it crashes below!
The level of paranoia as well as the multiple levels of deceit and deception depicted in the film seemed a bit unusual at the time, but given the temper of the times, it somehow seemed distinguished more plausible in the backwash of Watergate and all that was revealed about the machinations of the so-called “invisible government” then. The hero’s ability to parse together the facts and learn and adapt as he progresses makes the movie work especially well, and one can characterize to his growing frustration as he realizes there impartial may not be any device out alive. And between the margins of the scenes lie some engrossing questions regarding the role of secrecy in an start and supposedly democratic society that add a measure of gleaming acumen and “gravitas” to the legend.
So celebrated was this movie at the box office that it spawned a number of other watch thrillers in its wake. The film’s cast included not only Redford as the hero, but also starred Fay Dunaway, and Cliff Robertson. This movie makes for an bright evening of entertainment, and a surefire plan to race the monotonous of everyday life with a comely story of slay, mayhem, and betrayal. I highly recommend this flick. Relish!
What is it about this movie that makes it so compelling? After countless viewings, I aloof can’t build my finger on it — but let’s reflect the crucial elements of “Condor.”

First, the paucity of dialogue — in other words, what Redford displays and emotes rather than says — is considerable. It seems that for the first time in his career, Redford is really challenged to act instead of being unprejudiced another glorious cinematic face. If ever a man could give the impression of being both afraid and hunted, Redford’s a cinch in “Condor.”
This is also a stout Novel York City film. Its streets, attend alleys, and buildings — in particular, the World Trade Center — all play supporting roles. Sidney Pollack makes qualified employ of the then-newly finished twin towers in “Condor,” and this viewer lamented their destruction after watching scenes featuring the main lobby and a top-floor office inhabited by CIA deputy director Cliff Robertson.
The grainy quality of the film, matched with an often funky, sometimes heart-broken soundtrack scored by Dave Grusin, also adds to the aura of “Condor.” It’s as if Pollack attempted to do an American sendup of a French intrigue film. Grusin’s music also is not what you’d inquire in a look film, in that it has not a hint of the James Bond sound. Then again, the film is not a romantic contemplate thriller, so it works.

In fact, Pollack and Redford successfuly say a post-Watergate paranoia that the citizens’ government is ‘out there’ and will end at nothing to hunt down the truth-seeking rogue. Phone taps and plumbers (disguised, this time, as mailmen) abound. Suitably, “Three Days of the Condor” ends with a very anti-establishment message.
This film deserves to be placed in the list of top twenty titanic American films of the original cinematic era (however one judges that) . “Condor” is satisfactory the first time around and seems to be more palatable with subsequent viewings. Far from being a period share, it stands the test of time as a thriller that is also thoughtful.
