When Turner arrives back in New York towards the end of the film, there is a sweeping pan across the city streets. To the left of the US Armed Forces recruiting office is a movie billboard, advertising the current feature as The Towering Inferno. You can also just see Faye Dunaway's surname. Dunaway plays Cathy in this film. See more »

Quotes
Joe Turner:
I'd like to go back to New York.
Joubert:
You have not much future there. It will happen this way. You may be walking. Maybe the first sunny day of the spring. And a car will slow beside you, and a door will open, and someone you know, maybe even trust, will get out of the car. And he will smile, a becoming smile. But he will leave open the door of the car and offer to give you a lift.

Perhaps its just me, but I think this film is underrated. 3 Days of the Condor is one of my all time favorite suspense thrillers and is both intellectually and vicariously plausible - from the first frame to the last. The action immediate and visceral, the characters subtle and direct, are succinctly performed and clearly understood. The dialog and exposition serve fascinating food for thought while the suspense unfolds revelations as the story thrusts deeper towards danger. A masterful Pollack/Redford conspiratorial thriller that is as smart as it is believable. Its as real as a narrative fiction can feel, in my personal film experience.
