While Macleod insists on an 18-minute maximum, in former times sermons would run more than an hour. Ministers commanded an authority that would be unthinkable today. They could give full play to docere, delectare, flectere (to teach, to delight, to move), the three purposes of preaching once listed by St. Augustine...

Fonda's pursuit of Redford and the authorities' pursuit of all three fugitives are full of similar surprises, including a fine action sequence in which horse and rider twist and turn through town and countryside, eluding with skill and heart the mechanized klutzes who are after them.
