Martin Sheen, in an understated, sophisticated performance, plays the strange ...

Billy Jack
: :This time-capsule film from 1971 is a perfect example of having one's cake and eating it, too.

The story actually embraces that tension between Billy Jack's way of doing things and that of the school's founder (Delores Taylor), but their tension doesn't so ...
