The Running Man is a 1963 British-American neo-noir drama film directed by Carol Reed and starring Laurence Harvey, Alan Bates and Lee Remick. It was adapted by screenwriter John Mortimer from the 1961 novel The Ballad of the Running Man by Shelley Smith.

Production

In March 1962 it was announced Carol Reed would direct a film based on the novel for Columbia Pictures, who had made Reed's Our Man in Havana. It was the first project Reed worked on since leaving the filming of Mutiny on the Bounty.

It was filmed in San Roque, Cádiz; La Línea de la Concepción, Cádiz; Algeciras, Cádiz; Spain; Gibraltar; and at Ardmore Studios in Ireland.

The film's sets were designed by the art director John Stoll.

The scene depicting a wedding inside a church was an actual real wedding taking place at the time. The couple getting married consented to being filmed during the wedding ceremony. This came about because the script required a wedding scene and the church authorities in Spain would not allow a bogus wedding to be filmed inside the church. The church appearing for this scene is in the town of San Roque.
