If you loved Midnight Cowboy, try Marathon Man
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by John Schlesinger, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Midnight Cowboy, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Marathon Man is
New York City streets, autumn rain, footsteps echoing. A graduate student runs, his brother's secrets lurk in every alley. Schlesinger keeps the pace tight.
