Three Days of the Condor (1975)

(One of my favorites)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073802/?ref_=tt_trv_cnn

There are those who see a connection to Spy Game (2001) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266987/?ref_=nv_sr_7
I see the connection but there's nothing direct at all linking the two.

Any opinions on the possible link?
Could the Nathan Muir character be a matured Joe Turner?

For anyone interested there will be a TV series based on Three Days of the Condor airing next January.

"conspiracy theory" movies.

"Three Days of the Condor" shows up on TV a lot. I don't know what I've missed by not seeing the film or DVD.

Thanks.

...what usually appears on TV.

You're probably also a fan of Enemy of the State, which is another favorite of mine.

For the first time last night. Retro showed that and Condor back to back - preceded by A Bridge Too Far.

It's like they were making a social statement about our current course as a country yesterday.
