Stockholm Marathon is a 1994 film about the Swedish police detective Martin Beck directed by Peter Keglevic, based on the last Martin Beck novel, The Terrorists, but with the plot—which had originally involved the assassination of a Swedish prime minister—altered because of the unsolved assassination of Prime Minister Olof Palme[citation needed]. The title-song for the film, "Marathon of Life", was written by Ralf Stemmann and performed by Thomas Anders (of Modern Talking fame).
