Don't trust anyone under 30: LOGAN'S RUN (1976)

[@dlxmarks]

Agutter was 23 when she was cast and York was 33 but passed OK for under 30. Richard Jordan looked every day of his 38 years in the movie.

I agree Agutter and York looked age-appropriate, but TBH I've never thought Jordan looked too old. Maybe I've known a lot of hirsute guys. In The Friends of Eddie Coyle a few years earlier, I thought he looked around 23.

@@UpInTheAtticJSW I can see Jordan as looking young for 38 by 1970s standards and passing for under 30 then. I think I first watched the entire movie around 2000 and thought he looked old for the part at the time.

@@dlxmarksYou've hit on the answer. I was 14 when I saw it on TV in 1980. Everyone over 16 looked old to me.

Logan's run is one of my favorite movies. Mainly because it was set in the future.

[@UpInTheAtticJSW]

I'm a sucker for any movie set in the future.

I guess that we can be trusted at least twice-over eh JSW. Enjoyed this (a lot) back in the day and your take on it. Thanks again.

I dunno what you mean, I'm 14. (We are talking IQ, right?)
