(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!

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.

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.

John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Humphry Bogart, James Coburn, Lee Marvin, Sean Connery, Harrison Ford -- well maybe not Harrison Ford -- created unique male personas on film and Burt Reynolds joins them. Cat Dancing is a 70's road film on horseback and Reynolds' performance shines with personal subtlety among other luminaries including Jack Warden, George Hamilton, Lee J. Cobb, and Jay Silverheels (AKA Tonto). The story line is not predictable and angst threads through the script. True love, what is it? The answer rolls down from the screen in Cat Dancing while Burt bites the dust and recovers. The Western by the 1970's was fading, but Cat Dancing proves the genre can be fresh in any decade.
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.

- ट्रिवियाSarah Miles' found her business manager/boyfriend David Whiting dead in her Gila Bend, AZ, motel room during the film's location shooting. The death made headlines around the world. "Time Magazine" on 26 March 1973 reported, "Pills and bottles were scattered around his body, and bruises and a bloody cut were found on his head". The night prior to the discovery of his body Whiting had allegedly assaulted Miles after she had come back late at night from a birthday party for Burt Reynolds. Reynolds let Miles stay in his room for protection. She testified that Whiting had "got ahold of me and began throwing me about the room". Reynolds, when he saw Miles after her nanny, who had overheard the confrontation, had called him, was quoted as saying, "Christ Almighty, you're a mess!" Miles' injuries allegedly included a bloody nose, a bruised forehead and a cut lip. The official cause of Whiting's death as ruled by the coroner/county medical examiner was suicide by overdose of the drugs Methaqualone, Benadryl and a Librium-type drug. Reportedly, Miles and Reynolds did not wish to testify at the inquest one month after the incident but were forced to when Whiting's mother, Mrs. Louise Campbell, successfully obtained a court order compelling them to testify. According to the "Time" article, " . . . a pharmacologist hired by Whiting's mother said that the amount of methaqualone in Whiting's bloodstream need not have been fatal. Left unexplained was how Whiting's blood came to be on a pillowcase, towel, tissues and the washbasin in his own room, as well as on a blue sweater he had apparently been wearing. Also unaccounted for were the severe cut on the back of his head and scratches on his stomach, chest and knuckles." It was later revealed that Miles and Whiting had been having an affair, and this, together with the resulting publicity, contributed to the disintegration of her marriage to Robert Bolt.
- गूफ़During the opening credits Catherine is riding "side saddle" but her legs are both on the right side of the horse, which is the "wrong" side for an English ladies' saddle. The film is flopped in this shot as later she has her legs on the proper side.
