* MadnessMantra: Szell's constant questioning of "is it safe?" highlights how ImproperlyParanoid he is. Even more clear in the novel where there are a few segments from his point of view and he repeats the question over and over and over again in his mind.

* NeverTrustATitle: From the title, you might be expecting an inspirational sports film like ''Film/ChariotsOfFire'' . The marathon aspect barely factors into the movie (other than justifying why Babe can run like hell so well), though, which is an espionage thriller from start to finish.
