Wait!! Not So Fast
Added 6/21/2009
I have been waiting for years for this movie to be released in DVD format. One of my all time favorite westerns however. you can buy it now directly from the Warner Brother website for $19.95 plus shipping. I am not sure why this particular dealer "pokatink" has it listed for $39.95 unless it is just to rip you off before the word gets out.

A Movie You'll Love
Added 4/17/2009
This is a great movie that does what movies should. It entertains and makes you feel good. The acting is great and the background music score lifts your heart. In my opinion, it's Burt Reynolds best movie and one of Sarah Miles best as well. It's got plenty of western action but most of all it's a love story that shows the great joy life brings when a man and woman love one another and how nothing's too tough as long as they're together. One of my all time favorite movies and one I watch over and over when I want to feel good and remember how wonderful it is to love and be loved.

The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing
Added 9/19/2008
This is a wonderful movie and I don't understand why is has not been released on DVD years ago. It was one of Burt Reynolds best films, one that he should be proud to have released on DVD for all to see and let those that have not seen it find out just how great of a movie it really is.
This is one person that hopes it is released very soon, because it is one movie I will purchase ASAP...
Thanks

Nothing But A Glorified Harlequin Romance
Added 7/5/2008
This old snoozer popped up on the expensive TV movie channels because of budgets or the writers strikebecause they're starting to show old cheap movies that don't cost them much.
I nearly fell asleep when the thing first came out. It hasn't gotten better with age! Every cliche' imaginable or stolen showed up in this thing.
Sarah Miles looked like a bustless knock-off of Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and Burt I think was trying to appear Indian with the inch thick brown pancake makeup.
And how many times was Catherine (Sarah's character) nearly raped? Gah!!! Over and over and over. Just get it done and let's get ON with this turkey!
The train holdup at the beginning was OK and the thing was downhill...wwwaaaayyyy downhill from there. I found it interesting....and my sister and I did a little Mystery Theatre 3000 while we were watching this, to aleviate the boredom and stay AWAKE....that George Hamilton's character was extremely "foppy", but that's what he was good at and he later played a fop in "Zorro The Gay Blade." We were able to insert some screamingly funny dialogue.
Now Jay Silverheels. I think he was of advanced age when he made this movie, but I don't know why they had to put "old" makeup on him that pretty much belonged in "The Mummy."
The Indian boy who was supposed to be Burt's couldn't act his way out of a paper bag and there was absolutely no chemistry between the two.
This movie was a big deal back then, but wouldn't even be a candidate for Hallmark Movie of the Week nowdays. There was scandal. I think Sarah Miles was found leaving the room of a producer or someone on the set in the desert and that person was found dead the next morning. They said it was suicide, but others said more sinister things. I believe he saw how bad this movie was turning out and offed himself!

Please someone, make a dvd of this movie!
Added 12/15/2007
I saw this movie in South Africa 30 years ago and loved it. Then I bought the book which is now old and tattered, and still a favorite. I had forgotten how the film ended, but read in a review that the ending was not the same as the book. What a pity. The book ending is perfect. It comes as a shock every time I read it.
I would love to buy this on DVD. The story, the acting, the scenery and the music were wonderful. One can still find it on videotape, but I prefer to wait, and hope, for the DVD, and perhaps buy the cd soundtrack. The music, by John Williams, was great.
