See the Man Run

About This Movie

See the Man Run is a curious piece from 1973, a TV movie that manages to blend crime and thriller elements in a way that's quite engaging. The atmosphere is tense, yet there's a strange undercurrent of dark humor throughout, especially with how the protagonist—a down-on-his-luck actor—navigates the bizarre situation. Pacing is deliberate, lending itself to moments of suspense that really hook you in. The performances, particularly from the lead, feel authentic and grounded, which adds to the film's charm. It’s interesting how it explores themes of desperation and ambition, making you ponder the lengths one might go for a slice of the pie, even if that pie is a bit criminal.

This film had a limited release back in the day and it seems to have almost faded into obscurity over the years, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. As of now, physical formats are scarce, with the original broadcast being the most sought-after. There’s definitely a niche interest in this title for those who appreciate the quirks of 70s television and the thematic depth that can be found in lesser-known films.
