Other top U.S. drivers suffered different misfortunes. Al Unser, winner of last year's Indianapolis 500, had to drop out when his Lola-Chevrolet developed oil pressure problems. A.J. Foyt drove a McLaren-Chevrolet until the motor quit. Follmer's Lotus-Ford suffered a broken rocker arm. British Driver Derek Bell, for one, regarded the U.S. cars as so much clutter. "It's frustrating," he groused, "for a Formula One driver to wait...

Jones' "liberation" is his murder, but along the way he frees his brethren and damns the Old South, as presented...
...blows its otherwise immaculate cool-as when a poolroom tough delivers one of those drunken "I'll-tell-you-what-democracy-is" speeches. Although Redford and Clark are both excellent in their roles, Katharine Ross offers a major challenge to credibility as Willie's Indian girl, called Lola in the film. She looks little like an Indian and is obviously too refined to act like...
