Sickening.
CONDOR still holds up well as a film, IMO. That is a truly stupid edit for someone to try and pull off.
That was really bugging someone for forty years.
Never fear! In due time, that will be re-edited to "heterosexual."

Yeah, unfortunately; it’s very hard to get the “original” of anything. But also, there are many different versions of so many movies.
Heck, they even edit Judge Judy on youtube. It’s ridiculous. Don’t want to offend any (fill-in) the blank.
Changing history.
Substituting lies for truth.
Changing names of towns, regions, buildings, streets.
Editing out those not in favor in old photos and art.
Editing in the Glorious Leader or the Glorious Cause everywhere.
Pulling down old monuments.
Everyone knows they are lies. Everyone bends knee to those lies.
A practice found in every totalitarian state.
Refuse to collaborate.
Resist.
That’s so ‘1984.’
“...a dead girl or a live boy...”
I still enjoy “Three Days of the Condor” on the rare occasion of it being on TV/Cable...but it is becoming a bit dated.
That said...
Earlier this year ATT’s “Audience” channel had a 10 episode series, “Condor”, that was based on the movie. It was actually quite entertaining and, in some aspects, better than the movie. A season 2 is scheduled.
Snowflake editing would render the movie down to about 2 scenes.
This movie is good for today’s times.
John Houseman’s character could be Brennan or Clapper, and represents the Deep State. Robert Redford could be Seth Rich (too bad he didn’t survive). They’d stop at NOTHING to keep control and ruin Trump, just as they had no morals in the movie’s depiction.
Something else that makes me wonder about this movie...
Was the mailman in the beginning scenes John Kasick’s father?
A friend of mine read the book, and saw the movie. He said they were nothing alike, except the name.

John Houseman has a great Alec Berg name. “John Houseman. John Houuusssemannnn.”
