Fonda, looking great without make up, all natural and tough, won the oscar for Coming Home the same year this overlooked gem was released. Alan P.directed her in Klute as well, and later on, in the boring Rollover in '81... Late, great Richard Farnsworth gives sad knowing performance, tho' at times, seems out of breath. Robards plays bad guy to gritty eely perfection, nice balance off mellow cattle poke Caan
