Editorial Review:
A psychologically intriguing Western that has much in common with the genre's Hollywood renaissance in the 1950s, The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing stars Burt Reynolds as Jay Grobart, an outlaw who kidnaps the aristocratic Catherine Crocker (Sarah Miles) after she witnesses his gang pull a train robbery. Forced to travel with the desperadoes, Mrs. Crocker is repeatedly subjected to threats of sexual violence by two of the men (Jack Warden, Bo Hopkins), but is protected by the otherwise seemingly dispassionate Grobart. Meanwhile, the hostage's insufferable husband (George Hamilton) hires a bounty hunter (Lee J. Cobb) to track Grobart down, which proves relatively easy since the fugitive, who becomes the lonely Mrs. Crocker's lover, is headed into dangerous Indian territory for reasons that are as heartbreaking as they are illuminating. A harsh film that asks viewers to care about a hero who did something unforgivable but who finds love unexpectedly, The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing is full of surprises. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing
This is a wonderful movie and I don't understand why is has not been released on DVD years ago. It was one of Burt Reynolds best films, one that he should be proud to have released on DVD for all to see and let those that have not seen it find out just how great of a movie it really is.
This is one person that hopes it is released very soon, because it is one movie I will purchase ASAP...
Thanks

This old snoozer popped up on the expensive TV movie channels because of budgets or the writers strikebecause they're starting to show old cheap movies that don't cost them much.
I nearly fell asleep when the thing first came out. It hasn't gotten better with age! Every cliche' imaginable or stolen showed up in this thing.
Sarah Miles looked like a bustless knock-off of Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and Burt I think was trying to appear Indian with the inch thick brown pancake ... Read More
Rating: - Please someone, make a dvd of this movie!
I saw this movie in South Africa 30 years ago and loved it. Then I bought the book which is now old and tattered, and still a favorite. I had forgotten how the film ended, but read in a review that the ending was not the same as the book. What a pity. The book ending is perfect. It comes as a shock every time I read it.
I would love to buy this on DVD. The story, the acting, the scenery and the music were wonderful. One can still find it on videotape, but I prefer to wait, and hope, for the ... Read More
Rating: - ONE OF BURT REYNOLD'S BEST SCREEN PERFORMANCES, PERIOD.
Reading westerns and watching western films has always been something of an enjoyment. In my humble estimation this film is as good as it gets. The movie comes from the book THE MAN WHO LOVED CAT DANCING by Marilyn Durham, a 1972 hardcover book published by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Inc. was a nationwide bestseller, eventually republished as Dell mass market paperback #5246, July, 1973. Marilyn Durham is also the author of DUTCH UNCLE.
Though an off-beat western with equal sadness and ... Read More
Rating: - Top 25 all-time favorites
If you like a well-done Western, you'll enjoy this one. It has everything - train robberies, shoot outs, Outlaws, Indians, bad guys, heroes, strong women and strong men, romance and a touch of humor. It's too bad Burt Reynolds didn't choose more movies roles like this. He plays the part very well and Sara Miles is enchanting as the strong-willed Catherine. And what Western would be complete without Lee J. Cobb and Jack Warden? Look for an amazingly well done performance by (of all people) George Hamilton. ... Read More
