1969120 minDrama 7.6

In the midst of the Great Depression, manipulative emcee Rocky enlists contestants for a dance marathon offering a $1,500 cash prize. Among them are a failed actress, a middle-aged sailor, a delusional blonde and a pregnant girl.

Editor's Verdict

NO

"Despite having a 'Holiday Release' noted, the movie 'They Shoot Horses, Don't They?' is firmly established in the grim reality of the Great Depression dance marathon. None of the core criteria—setting, plot centrality, themes, iconography, or resolution—are meaningfully connected to Christmas."
