Condor and Christmas

'Tis the season to be watching, and listening. If, like me, you like watching movies during Christmastime that are seasonal but not too soppy or sugaree, I have a suggestion for you. I pretty much go for the same thing I would go all year long, but with a Christmas twist. And there is one film that could be considered a Christmas movie, because it is set during Christmastime. I am talking about Three Days of the Condor. For those who never watched it, stop reading now and do not watch the video in this post. Anyway, while the original novel, which differs significantly from its more famous adaptation, is set in a different time of year, Yuletide is definitely in the background of the film. And moreso in its last scene, which I am sharing today. It gives a definitely darker yet very realistic edge to the Season.

I saw that years ago and cannot recall the plot at all. I think I get it mixed up with The Eiger Sanction, which is Clint Eastwood, not Robert Redford.

I thought I had seen it too but that video clip of the ending does not ring one single bell.
