Source:     WPRO Radio, Providence, Rhode Island - in 1972 (early 1973)
 

1972 was ALSO a GREAT year for movies ...  Among these were:

The Cowboys - definitely one of the best John Wayne movies EVER made ...
Bruce Dern plays an excellent sadistic bastard renegade outlaw, too.

Deliverance - one of the best psychological (and VERY believable) thrillers EVER made ...
Teriffic performances by John Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty, and Ronnie Cox.
See the movie first, then read the book by James Dickey - it's more involved.
