About this product
Product Information
Sydney Pollack's dark and impassioned adaptation of Horace McCoy's novel examines the limits of devotion and endurance. The intricately interwoven plot centers on a marathon dance contest that takes place in the 1930s during the Great Depression. The poverty-stricken participants struggle to keep their footing in order to survive the hard times, with hope for the cash prize the sole reason for continuing to dance. The tragic competitors are an effective mirror for the American ideals of the time and the overwhelming feeling of disenchantment. Filled with dramatic tension and moving performances, THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY? is harrowing and unforgettable. Jane Fonda gives a particularly moving performance as Gloria Beatty, a girl bent on self-destruction, and Gig Young gives an Oscar-winning performance as Rocky, the sleazy master of ceremonies who has gathered the contestants together under the pretense of providing an ample cash reward of more than a thousand dollars.Product Identifiers

A great film.
It is an incredible film but the format is letterbox. The black 'bars' take up more space on the screen then the movie .Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A homemade DVD that someone burned on their computer
It was not a commercially made product. It was a DVD that someone just burned on their computer. The resolution was poor. Most likely a pirated copy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
