At 81, the Sundance Kid was planning on retiring from acting and hanging up his spurs.

If anyone has earned the right to take one, its him.
He was 76 at the time.
And man, was Tucker colorful.
Its as if they were as charmed by Tucker as they would have been had they met Robert Redford.
Who knows, in a different world, maybe he could have been a movie star too.
Marshal was inThe Fugitive.
Hes certainly got Jones collection of sad-eyed, hangdog frowns down pat.
Hunt dubs Tucker and his band of felons The Over-the-Hill Gang.
Maybe she just doesnt want to believe.
Their romance almost loads this modest film with more plot threads than it can handle.
He hasnt been this mellow and loose in a long time.
In the end, Tuckers luck runs out, of course.
As much as hed like to keep going, the end must come eventually.
