...star is Clint Eastwood, and this looks, at first glance, like his usual action feature. He plays a professional heist artist nicknamed Thunderbolt, who is hiding out after a big job and falls in with a fast-talking kid (Jeff Bridges). They bump around Montana, pursued by two of Eastwood's cronies (George Kennedy, Geoffrey Lewis) who had a hand in the Montana Armored robbery a couple years back and are looking for their share of the take. The take, however, has vanished, along with the one-room pioneer schoolhouse in which it was stashed...

He danced an impressive debut in the comic ballet La Fille Mal Gardée. On the other half of the program was a scene from La Bayardère, the "white ballet" he restaged...
...course of democratic government, especially in his native England. His solution is for England to be part of a global English-speaking union with Australia, America and Canada, to be governed by a constitutional monarch. It may sound positively Napoleonic, but it has vision-the vision of a bold artist who has yet to meet his Waterloo...
