Sydney Pollack – They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? (1969)
1961-1970DramaSydney PollackUSAQuote:
They Shoot Horses Don’t They? is set in the dark years of the l930s, when dance marathons became popular as a way for desperate people to compete for prize money.

Taken from hard-boiled pulp writer Horace McCoy’s novel of the same name, Jane Fonda plays a bitter young woman paired up with Michael Sarrazin for the ordeal.Read More »
