A great advertisement for reading...
“He wore one outfit through the whole picture!” says Sydney Pollack (director), when asked about Robert Redford’s wardrobe in Condor.
It may look like a simple getup, but Pollack’s brother, Bernie, a
wardrober, says they created the ensemble with care to define Redford’s
character, a deskbound CIA researcher in unaccustomed peril. “We wanted
an intellectual East Coast thing,” Bernie says. “Some sort of jacket, a
chambray shirt with a wool tie—not a silk tie but a wool tie, which gave
him a bit of a rougher, kind of college-professor look.” -via GQ
Just a great movie... plot: a reader for the CIA misses getting
whacked, as out picking up the office lunch. Goes on the run. Uses all
the tools he has learned to outwit the hired guns
"I am not a spy. I just read books! We read everything that's published in the world. And we feed the plots - dirty tricks, codes - into a computer, and the computer checks against actual CIA plans and operations. I look for leaks, I look for new ideas... We read adventures and novels and journals."
Versatile outfit too; herringbone tweed jacket, sawtooth chambray
shirt, wool tie, hiking boots, jeans then peacoat. Faye Dunaway, a Landcruiser, an IH Scout, 1st Gen Ford Bronco, a Brady bag (guessing) and a Doxa Sharkhunter round out the accessories..
