They Shoot Horses Don't They? (Pollack, 1969): Prince Charles Cinema, 6pm
This is part of the Women in Flux season, presented in association with the National Film and Television School’s Film Studies, Programming and curation MA.
Chicago Reader review:
The hopelessness of human life as represented by a marathon dance contest in the darkest 30s. The material is simple and irresistible, and Sydney Pollack stages it well (though without transcending the essential superficiality of his talent). Jane Fonda offers the first signs that she inherited something more than her father’s jawline, and Gig Young is reborn as a character actor.

Here (and above) is the trailer.
