      I was amazed to find out that the premium-price talent (Robert Redford and Jane Fonda in their prime) was attached and the project got the green light on the basis of a script with only the 1st Act written. There was no 2nd or 3rd Acts! Nor any outline for how the plot would play out. They figured out as they made the movie how to answer the dramatic question raised by the 1st Act: After stealing the horse, how does he liberate it?

      Ah, those were the days.

      Unfortunately, I missed this post.
      But I’m happy reading it now.
      Like the premise and your logline pitches a great story.
      To be honest, I didn’t know this movie. Not my times, but I will check it out. Thanks 🙂
      Also, it’s crazy, like you said: they started the project without having the full story. This says something about the power of a fantastic premise.
      Fonda and Redford? What a duo!
