March 14 1975 

Directed by Frank Perry, from a screenplay written by novelist Thomas McGuane, Rancho Deluxe opens in a handful of theaters. Disarmingly droll, laid-back, Montana-set buddy "western" with Jeff Bridges and Sam Waterston as a couple of shiftless, disaffected young slackers whose amateurish cattle rustling activities motivate an aggrieved rancher to seek appropriate payback. Lively, quirky supporting cast includes Harry Dean Stanton, Clifton James, Elizabeth Ashley and a scene-stealing Slim Pickens.
