They Shoot Horses, Don't They?
The desperation and hopelessness of the Great Depression are graphically shown in this powerful drama, through a pitiful collection of marathon dancers. Some of the group will endure this physical and mental assault on their human spirit; some will not. Stunning performances by Jane Fonda and Michael Sarrazin.
