but she scuttles all that by putting off the call ’til morning. After all, if this were all on the up and up, why couldn’t she call her? Joubert could have argued that it would compromise the mission, tip their hand to Joe, etc. She does get a leg up from Joe, in the form of his description of Joubert, but it’s that little detail about not letting her call her mom that seals the deal. So when Boyd and Joubert both show up at the hideout, it’s no surprise that she cracks the case before Boyd does. She needed the time to think things through.
So the fact that it took five episodes for Joe and Kathy just to kiss feels right, feels organic. Like, I know in the movie, it’s 70s Robert Redford and that is like, PEAK Redford, but still. Even accounting for the high-stress situation and the possible Stockholm Syndrome, the TV development is just much more believable. The relationship of TV Joe Turner and Kathy has developed much more organically and that’s a credit in their favor. They spend a few hours together before they’re sleeping together, in a jazz-accompanied scene that’s shot unnervingly like the murder in Psycho–all quick cuts, so you don’t really see anything.
#CONDOR SERIES MOVIE#
(Forgive me, Lord, for I’m about to spoil–slightly–a movie from 1975.)īefore the incident at his workplace and going on the run, movie Joe Turner and Kathy don’t even know each other. What struck me as I was watching it was the hilarity of the Joe/Kathy H. The week of the 4th of July, when Condor was on break, I rewatched the film version.
