Battle For The Planet Of The Apes (1973) ***

High Plains Drifter (1973) ***
Actor and director Clint Eastwood successfully imitates Sergio Leone in this excellent western.
Live And Let Die (1973) ***

Innovative animated film about humans fighting against gigantic blue creatures.
A Touch Of Class (1973) ***
