Tuesday: Sweet Charity (1969)
Charity works as a hostess at a dance hall. She is unlucky in love. Her current boyfriend pushes her off a bridge and steals her purse. The purse contained all the money she had. Charity encounters a famous Italian film star. They spend the night getting to know each other. Nothing comes of it other than a fun night. No one believes that it happened. She is desperate to find another job and start a new life. After a failed interview she gets stuck in an elevator with a nerdy insurance man named Oscar. Despite being so different they fall in love. The plan to get married, but her past life threatens to change that. I liked this movie ok. It was a little cheesy for my taste. It is a musical directed by Bob Fosse. I did like that she became her own happy ending. She didn't need a man to have a happy ending.
Wednesday: Marathon Man (1976)
Thomas is a grad student studying in New York. He thinks is brother is just a business man. But Doc, the brother, is actually a spy who is hunting down former Nazis. Doc's primary target is a man named Christian Szell. Szell was known for sneaking Jews out of Germany in exchange for diamonds and gold fillings. He has been in hiding. When his brother dies he has to come out of hiding to make sure his diamonds are safe. Doc intervenes and ends up dead. Before he dies he goes to Thomas. Szell believes Thomas knows where his diamonds are and tortures him. Szell uses his dentist skills to try and get the information. I liked this movie. I don't know that I would watch it again but it was entertaining.
