Il Maratoneta di John Schlesinger

Bella e complessa storia di un giovane studente ebreo che prepara la tesi sul maccartismo e si allena per la maratona. La sua vita tranquilla è sconvolta dall'assassinio del fratello che aiutava un gruppo di vecchi nazisti. Il giovane si mette a indagare, scoprendo un complotto ordito da criminali nazisti scappati negli Stati Uniti.
