Episode 459: They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1969)

Our examination of 1969 continues with our first American film we’ve discussed this year, They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? Directed by Sydney Pollack and based on a novel by Horace McCoy, the film stars Michael Sarrazin as Robert and Jane Fonda as Gloria, a pair who get thrown together in a marathon dance contest during the Great Depression.

Guest co-hosts Emily Intravia and Scott Frank join Mike to discuss the film.
