(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. Except that the group decide to drag her along as a hostage as they escape. And 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 approaches if people were to be traveling in the wild 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!

VANISHING POINT director Richard C. Sarafian and budding superstar Burt Reynolds teamed for THE MAN WHO LOVED CAT DANCING, based on a then-popular Gothic Western novel and almost the kind of horsepower road movie that Sarafian already had down pat... But more a deliberate adventure in reverse, beginning with a train robbery introduction to a bank robbing gang led by a quiet-silent Renyolds; a tough-as-nails Jack Warden; a passive Indian and Bo Hopkins, again playing an unpredictable, hopped-up hillbilly ala Sam Peckinpah cinema... And someone more unhinged like Sam would've been a much better fit since, lovely landscapes aside, the pace mirrors a Spaghetti Western that desperately needed a tighter revenge plot: herein a predictable romance with rich girl Sarah Miles having left her husband, and, taken in by the grimy bandits, it's obvious she'll hook up with the protective Burt (who makes a last-minute rescue straight out of DELIVERANCE)... Yet by the time the extremely overlong last half happens, the side-characters... who made an intriguing, potentially explosive ensemble... had already fallen by the wayside, turning an otherwise romantic Western into a limited adventure: dragging out a tired HUNTING PARTY-style beauty/beast love story, with no real bite.

The whole movie was seriously done with cares. What I appreciated this movie most is its soundtrack, unlike those stupid western movies bombarded with non-stop, drive-you-crazy, completely irrelevant loud music, the soundtrack background music was so subtle and so appropriately arranged, it timely played on and timely faded away, making this movie a joy to watch. Besides, its storyline was quite unique and colorful, there were minor stories among the major story allot with some colorful characters; bad guys, good guys, all well inserted and played by every actors, males and those two females, one lead, one support. But still, what I really want to emphasize about this movie is the rare and nice arrangement of the supporting backgrounded soundtrack, it never bothered you but timely supported to match the ongoing of the storyline, and help it developed well in tempo and depth. If all the Western genre movies could be produced in this way, Western movies would never phase itself out so miserably lost to the new generation of audiences after 60s to 70s. Highly recommended, if you could still find it.

Rich, married Catherine Crocker (Sarah Miles) is riding along the rail tracks and happens upon a man cutting the telegraph wire. It turns out to be a train robbery. Jay Grobart (Burt Reynolds) leads the group of criminals and they take her prisoner. She claims to be running away from her abusive husband Willard (George Hamilton). Harvey Lapchance (Lee J. Cobb) is in pursuit. Grobart's great love is his late native wife Cat Dancing. The potential is there for a great western. Reynolds struggles as a quiet brooding lead. In being reserved, he starts to fade. He can't fall back on his gregarious nature. There are ways to make him compelling but that is missing from this movie. I would have loved to see him speak a native language when he's with the Native Americans. The British actress Sarah Miles has a standoffish quality. The story has plenty of violence but it's not as brutal as it needs to be. Most of this has to be the director's fault. The potential is never fully realized.

When I saw this film my lifelong crush began. There has never been one as handsome, sexy and funny.

I just rewatched The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing (1973) Plot In A Paragraph: After being released from prison where he was serving a sentence for murder, Jay Grobart (Reynolds) leads a band of three other men in robbing a train of its Wells Fargo cargo of $100,000. In their escape from the scene, they are forced to take kidnapp Mrs. Catherine Willard Crocker (Sarah Miles) As Jay, the leader, embarks on his next mission, Harvey Lapchance (Lee J. Cobb) the investigator for Wells Fargo, has a posse of men on their trail. That posse includes Willard Crocker (George Hamilton) a mining executive who is the kidnapped woman's husband. This is a real slow burning movie, Burt delivers a terrific performance which is allowed time to breathe and unfurl with grace and sensitivity, even exceeding his most celebrated role in Deliverance in terms of range. Grobart is not a traditional hero and it was brave of the actor to accept it just as he was becoming America's favourite movie star. Grobart is a flawed man haunted by demons past and present. He is inherently a good man blind to race and social divisions yet lured to violence on a whim in response to acts of aggression against the women in his life. It would be quite awhile before the actor again disappeared it a role so completely They iconic characters he portrayed in succeeding films are almost impossible to consider as mutually exclusive from Reynolds' own larger-than-life persona. Unfortunately, this movie was plagued with production problems, including a death (which from time to time, resurfaces with Burt being accused of murder) and audiences stayed away in droves.

Richard C. Sarafian directs and Eleanor Perry adapts the screenplay from Marilyn Durham's novel. It stars Burt Reynolds, Sarah Miles, Lee J. Cobb, Jack Warden, George Hamilton, Bo Hopkins, Robert Donner and Jay Silverheels. Music is by John Williams and cinematography (Panavision/Metrocolor) by Harry Stradling JR. Train robbing outlaw starts to fall for a woman who inadvertently becomes a kidnapee. The rumours and gossip behind the making of the film are far more interesting than the film itself. Miles was married to Robert Bolt (they would be married twice), and it is believed that Bolt had to do uncredited work on the script to make it better! This as Miles and Reynolds were having some fun after hours, while Miles' manager (David Whiting) died under suspicious circumstances during the production. The production is, on a technical level, superb, the locations are outstandingly realised by Stradling's photography, while Williams shows his multi stranded genius by providing a number of different musical compositions throughout the pic. Sadly the film drags and come the midway point it just becomes dull. It starts off promisingly, with a daring train robbery introducing us to a band of outlaws, led by Reynolds of course, who are interesting enough to keep us, well, interested. Yet this proves to be a false dawn as what looked like being a potent manhunt of the gang, with revenge flavoured seasoning and sexual tensions, quickly turns into a wet romance stretched out to nearly two hours run time. As Miles and Reynolds take center stage for the second half of film, you realise that Cobb and Warden have been criminally underused. Lead performances are OK, it's just that the narrative is uninteresting and poorly directed - though a pat on the back is warranted for the respectful writing of the American Indians. It looks and musically sounds great, but really it's hard to recommend with confidence. 5/10

The theme of this movie is rape. Sarah Miles is running away from George Hamilton, her husband. She stumbles into a train robbery and is taken hostage by the bandits. Bo Hopkins tries to rape her first. Then Jack Warden wants in on it. Burt Reynolds stops them. Then some Native Americans come along and try to rape her. This may well be the last Western ever made in which Native Americans try to rape a white woman. Most of the Native Americans in the movie are good, however, as are pretty much all the Native Americans portrayed in movies afterwards, so this movie is transitional. Anyway, Warden finally gets his chance, and he succeeds in raping Miles. Then we find out that Burt Reynolds killed his wife, Cat Dancing, because a man had raped her. But that apparently does not bother Miles, because she and Reynolds end up living happily ever after. I wish I could say that Miles was running away from her husband because he raped her too, just to round out the story, but all we know is that he is an unpleasant character.

The most romantic Burt Reynolds I've ever seen is the Burt that heads the cast of The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing. He's also dangerous and deadly when he has to be. Reynolds like James Garner is usually comic and cynical in his best remembered films. But in this one he becomes quite the romantic hero, almost like out of a romance novel especially to the object of his affection Sarah Miles. Burt heads an outlaw gang that consists of Bo Hopkins, Jack Warden, and Jay Varela and one fine day while they're robbing a train Sarah Miles crosses their path. She's running away from her husband George Hamilton, her rich husband who's paying a lot of good wages for a personal posse. Caught in the middle of all this is Wells Fargo man Lee J. Cobb. Reynolds and Miles make such a great romantic couple rarely seen in westerns. Jimmy Stewart and Debra Paget in Broken Arrow come closest to mind, but Stewart was an unabashed hero, not like Reynolds the outlaw. The title refers to the name of Reynolds's Shoshone wife Cat Dancing who died years earlier. That story is essential to understanding how Reynolds's character developed as it did. Miles is a woman who finds true love, but also gets a lot of romantic notions knocked out of a silly head. For fans of westerns and romance.

This was a well scripted movie with two leading stars in Burt Reynolds and Sarah Miles who through the movie gradually come to understand one another's predicament and fall in love. Burt plays an ex military man named Jay Grobart who leads a small group of men on a successful train robbery, and while in the midst of their escape in to the wilds, they run across a petite and debonair well dressed Catherine Crocker played by Sarah Miles. We eventually find out why Ms. Crocker is riding alone in the wilderness and also why Jay Grobart robbed the bank. Burt plays a tough gang leader who won't tolerate any insubordination from his crew or from the woman on the run. Through the hills and streams they all run hiding from the posse led by Lee J Cobb and also in hot pursuit is the train company's executive played by Anthony Perkins who just happens to be trailing his wife who has seemed to gone missing whilst out for a casual ride on her $3,000.00 priceless steed. Indians also come in to the picture, and one by one the gang members turn on one another with their expected prize being the warmth of an evening with their travelling companion Ms. Crocker. Bad Burt keeps them all at bay, and slowly falls for Ms. Crocker himself. The climax may be predictable (I am referring to the movie's ending not Burt and Sarah's steamy relationship) but I love a good ending and I put this one in that enviable category. Kudos to the cast of The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing for a good performance and to their director Richard C Sarafian, who has given us other classics such as Bugsy, The Crossing Guard and one of my personal favourites, Bound.
