The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing (1973)


MGM
Directed by Richard C. Sarafian
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Burt Reynolds robs a train with his gang of outlaws. Sarah Miles happens to be there and ends up kidnapped. They spend the rest of the film bickering over the girl and exploring Burt's past with the Indians. Bo Hopkins is a particularly nasty outlaw with only one thing on his mind. There is a good brawl between Burt and Jack Warden after he rapes her. Burt turns out to be a softie and Sarah falls in love with him, a mushy romance that drags the film down. "Cat Dancing" is a name not a dance, Burt's former Indian wife that he can't forget.
