Lyle Wheeler (Marjoe Gortner) lives on the edge -- the edge of danger and the edge of the law. He has a fast draw, a big heart and troubles as large as the whole New Mexico desert. When his car breaks after a rodeo competition, he steals another one and races right into the life of Bobbie Jo Baker (Lynda Carter), a hash-slinging beauty with a face like an angel and a voice like a country-western superstar.
She's never met anyone like Lyle...and neither has her sister, Pearl (Merrie Lynn Ross). Soon, Pearl's con-man boyfriend, Slick, involves Lyle in a bungled hold-up; and before they know it, the whole gang is wanted by every Sheriff west of the Mississippi. The stage is set for a slam-bang tour through the Southwest in this fast-paced tale of life -- and love -- on the edge.
Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman) appears with Marjo Gortner in this Bonnie and Clyde inspired romp. Stills from Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw have been shown 'round the world featuring Lynda Carter topless.
Competent but excessively violent drive-in fare; bored carhop Carter hooks up with Marjoe and his gang for a robbing and killing spree.
I saw this movie and it was great. Amazingly, when Biography did a show on Lynda Carter there was no mention whatsoever about this foray into big-screen nudity. My guess is some "image consultants" try to rewrite history. But this AWESOME Carter flick is preserved on celluloid for generations to come. It was truly a seminal role.
