See How They Run Director Tom George On How The Blend Of Genres Came Together
See How They Run is, in multiple ways, a movie out of time. Murder mysteries are experiencing a mini revival, with Kenneth Branagh's Poirot movies and Rian Johnson's Knives Out, but like westerns or sword and sandal dramas, they are largely relics of the past. Mid-sized movies have also been shrinking in number recently, a reality exacerbated by the fact Disney seemed to feel lumbered with See How They Run after the acquisition of Searchlight that came with scooping up Fox. Most pointedly, See How They Run is literally of a different era, with the plot taking place in the 1950s. However, as director Tom George explains, certain presentational choices highlight the movie's displaced nature, taking cues from modern cinema and '60s capers to give See How They Run a unique tone all of its own.
