THEY SHOOT HORSES DON'T THEY [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 1969
• Genre: Drama
• Plot: Nominated for nine Academy Awards, this 'vivid' (Cue), 'fascinating' (Leonard Maltin) film stars Oscar winner Jane Fonda as a woman driven to seize her last best chance during the very worst of times. A 'brilliant' (L.A. Herald-Examiner) achievement by director Sydney Pollack, it is 'a stunning period piece' (Variety). ; ; In Depression-era America, desperation spawned a bizarre fad: the dance marathon. Couples competed to stay on their feet for thousands of hours, and audiences flocked to watch. But Gloria (Fonda) doesn't think of herself as a spectacle. She is a fierce, unforgiving contestant in a battle she's determined to win. At stake is much more than the $1.500 prize. The marathon is her only hope for dignity, accomplishment...and salvation.
