(1973) The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing.
WESTERN.
Burt Reynold's stars as Jay who successfully lead a group of train robbers, but along the way while escaping with horses waiting, bumps into a girl Sarah Miles as Catherine on a horse who witnessed the whole escapade while waiting for a train to get married to her fiance, Crocker played by George Hamilton, but the group decide to drag her along as a hostage as they escape, during this journey she brings out the best and the worst of them with Jay holding his own and being the most civilized out of the whole bunch and as the film progresses even more, he tells her about a Native American woman he used to be with by the name of "Cat Dancing"- hence the title!
Based on a novel written by Marilyn Durham and while watching it showed some realistic things if people were to be travelling in whe west eg: putting mud on the face to prevent it from sunburning or a dip into some water to prevent dehydration! But with a more than two hours of running time is a very good movie is often slow, but as a movie holding it's own is still interesting to say the least!
