Shock-absorbing bumpers, for example, will be required by law in 1973; passenger safety restraints that will work automatically in a collision are slated for 1974; and in 1975, emission-control systems will have to cut exhaust pollution almost to zero.

He had to go completely by the clock. At exactly T-minus-zero, Fendell had to begin tilting the camera upward.

Everyone has sat through films that deserved an AZ rating. It is disappointing that Peter Fonda of Easy Rider fame should have produced one. The Hired Hand is pointless, virtually plotless, all but motionless and a lode...
