Full Plot Details

It's the frontier of the American west. Shortly after being released from prison where he was serving a sentence for murder, Jay Grobart leads a band of three other men - Dawes, Billy Bowen and an Indian named Charlie Bent - in robbing a train of its Wells Fargo cargo of $100,000. In their escape from the scene, they are forced out of circumstance to take along a young woman, against her will, she who is traveling by herself on horseback. She is Mrs. Willard Crocker - Catherine - who they can tell is wealthy. Although they do not let her go, she vows that she will not tell the authorities about them as she, like them, is running away. As Jay, the leader, embarks on his next mission - to fulfill the reason he stole the money - he has the problems of managing the three men, Dawes and Billy in particular who are solely out for their own selfish wants which now includes their carnal wants with Catherine, and making sure Catherine does not escape. But as they spend more time together and learn more about what is under the surface, Jay and Catherine start to fall for each other. In addition to carrying out Jay's mission, they thus want to figure out a way to be together in light of their present circumstances. Meanwhile, Harvey Lapchance, the investigator for Wells Fargo, has a posse of men on their trail. That posse includes Willard Crocker, a mining executive. Lapchance allows Crocker to come along despite he having the feeling that he is not solely looking out for his wife's best interest.

Movie Reviews

User Review - 8/10 by Alex SOne of Burt's better films of the 70's
User Review - 8/10 by Deb S"Well, if she doesn't look as fresh as a daisy next to an outhouse"! "The man who loved Cat Dancing" is different from most westerns in that it is focused on relationships. This may not be surprising, in the light of the fact that the novel it is based on was written by a woman. Burt Reynolds plays a train robber whose gang is disrupted by the intrusion of a woman, the aristocratic Catherine née Cat Crocker (British actress Sarah Miles) who is fleeing an unhappy marriage. Catherine's husband hires on a tracker (Lee J. Cobb) to find his wife who he believes is kidnapped. You never get the impression that Crocker (George Hamilton) isn't a decent enough guy in his own right only that his wife doesn't love him enough to want to stay married. With Jay Grobart's gang, Catherine gets more than she's bargained for, having to fend off the lecherous likes of Bo Hopkins' Billy, and the brutish Jack Warden's Dawes and later some renegade Indians. Meanwhile Grobard himself is a driven man on the trail to retrieve his two children from a Shoshone tribe, left behind after he killed the man who raped his wife, the 'Cat Dancing' character of the film's title. We also follow Catherine's emotional changes. She is at first simply running away from a husband she does not love. She later has sex with a man who has protected her, and is then raped by a sociopath. The scenery in this movie was outstanding with excellent performances by Jack Warren and Lee J. Cobb. Worth checking out...wait a minute...just two people on my friend's list have seen this one???
User Review - 8/10 by Brody MThis movie has a great plot. And a great story. I like it. I enjoy. Burt Reynolds done a amazing job during this moving. The title of the movie get me. After I watched it turn out being a good movie. Sarah Miiles she done a great job to. I like her in it. Great movie!
User Review - 8/10 by Pamela DGreat script, but I want to know why Burt murdered Sarah Miles' personal assistant on the set. Actually, I think I know why, I want the details of their sordid, hopefully perverse, sex triangle.
User Review - 6/10 by Paul DA provokative and thoughtful western, although extremely slow paced.
User Review - 6/10 by Allan CMonday, September 12, 2011 (1973) The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing WESTERN Burt Reynold's stars as Jay who successfully lead a group of train robbers, but along the way while escaping with horses waiting, bumps into a girl Sarah Miles as Catherine on a horse who witnessed the whole escapade while waiting for a train to get married to her fiance, Crocker played by George Hamilton, but the group decide to drag her along as a hostage as they escape, during this journey she brings out the best and the worst of them with Jay holding his own and being the most civilized out of the whole bunch and as the film progresses even more, he tells her about a Native American woman he used to be with by the name of "Cat Dancing"- hence the title! Based on a novel written by Marilyn Durham and while watching it showed some realistic things if people were to be travelling in whe west eg: putting mud on the face to prevent it from sunburning or a dip into some water to prevent dehydration! But with a more than two hours of running time is a very good movie is often slow, but as a movie holding it's own is still interesting to say the least! 2.5 out of 4
User Review - 6/10 by Matthew CUnfortunate name aside, this is a pretty good, fairly low key drama set in the old west. Burt Reynolds was at the height of his career, playing a strong, silent type. Sarah Miles is the meek woman who falls in with his gang of ruffians. With Lee J. Cobb and George Hamilton in hot pursuit, they travel across some gorgeous scenery and get into occasional trouble. Veteran character actor Jack Warden turns in a frightening supporting performance. Like a lot of westerns, it is a bit overlong and could have used some more liberal editing. Worth a watch.
User Review - 6/10 by Dean MWorth seeing to see two of the most interesting (and seemingly forgotten) 70's actors Bo Hopkins and Sarah Miles. Miles doesn't have much to do here besides look forlorn but Hopkins is brilliant. There is also a vicious fight between Reynolds and Jack Warden that works very well indeed.
