Bite the Bullet (1975) / Richard Brooks
This movie has its moments, but overall it was not that satisfying. Here, Candice Bergen plays a prostitute and Gene Hackman and James Coburn play two former Rough Riders. They all participate in a unique horse race with high prize money for the winner. The race takes place in the American Southwest near the turn of the century and consists of racing horses 700 miles over 7 days. One might call it the "Iron Horse" contest if compared to the "Iron Man" contest.
Sam Clayton (Gene Hackman) : We came out of the jungle and there it was - San Juan Hill. The Spanish guns lookin' right down our throat, the sharpshooters pickin' us off and we just charged right up that hill!
[starts to ride off, but returns]
Miss Jones (Candice Bergen): I've been around a lot of cowhands, one way or another. A cowboy dresses from the top down. The first thing on is his hat. And he undresses from the bottom up. Last thing off... hat. Oh, and another thing - to be a cowpuncher, that don't mean you actually got to go around punching them, you know.
