...defenseless Chevenne village. But it is only tangentially concerned with such affairs. The bulk of the film is given over to a kind of Western Love Story in which a hard-as-nails white woman wanders about, and eventually falls in love, with a rather silly young soldier. Candice Bergen plays the foul-mouthed girl on her way to join her fiance, an army officer stationed at Fort Reunion (clever, no?); she has been held captive for two years by the neighborhood Indians and, at film's beginning, has just somehow, inexplicably been freed-though whether rescued from, returned...

...Elliott Gould in Getting Straight, deflowered by Bekim Fehmiu in The Adventurers and raped by Oliver Reed in The Hunting Party. Recalling TIME'S review of The Adventurers (March 30), she predicts more of the same for Hunting Party. "I can see the reviews now: 'Candice Bergen grimaces as she loses her virginity.' All I do in this film is get raped and have orgasms. But I've got the orgasms down pat now. It's your token ten seconds of heavy breathing, followed by my baroque expression, eyes heavenward...
