Additional InformationInfluential director Sam Peckinpah has four of his best movies collected here. THE BALLAD OF CABLE HOGUE: This charming comic western features a winning performance by star Jason Robards as prospector Cable Hogue. Double-crossed and left for dead in the desert, Hogue recovers, finds the only well for miles around, and turns the place into a thriving oasis. Eventually, his treacherous partners return, and Hogue is able to have the revenge he hankers for. An unusual but winning offering from the notoriously violent Peckinpah. PAT GARRETT AND BILLY THE KID: An ex-crony of Billy the Kid is forced to attempt the arrest of the infamous outlaw. His challenge results in a deadly confrontation. RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY: Two grizzled cowhands reminisce about their lively pasts as they travel across dangerous country with a gold shipment they were hired to protect. This is often considered to be Peckinpah's finest film, and its elegiac tone is typical of post-classical westerns. THE WILD BUNCH: As a counterpoint to the heroic horde of THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, the aging gunmen of Sam Peckinpah's masterpiece break the very laws of honor that bind them in this bloody and meditative tale of the American West--widely considered to be the self-conscious nail in the coffin of the genre. William Holden, Robert Ryan, and Ernest Borgnine star as the leaders of a grizzled crew of Texan bandits who ride to Mexico, where, one by one, they are unceremoniously slaughtered by a Mexican revolutionary.

Four of Peckinpah's best films: The Wild Bunch, The Ballad of Cable Hogue, Ride the High Country, & Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid. Super picture quality
Four Peckinpah westerns in high-definition colour, at a good price. Ride the High Country (1962) is strongly influenced by Anthony Mann's Naked Spur & Winchester 73. The plot is decent here, though not as good as Mann's work. The acting by old-stagers Joel McCrea & Randolph Scott is excellent, while Mariette Hartley (Star Trek) does well in her first starring role. The strongest point in favour of this film is Lucien Ballard's sumptuous photography of the mountain and high lakes, reproduced here in gorgeous hi-def. The Ballad of Cable Hogue (1970) is a musical western, of the same vintage as the more famous Paint Your Wagon, but with even more of an anachronistic hippie influence. Jason Robards gives a very strong performance (as always) as the down-and-out prospector who builds a thriving business selling water to coach travellers in the desert. He briefly makes an honest woman out of Stella Stevens, and is given dubious spiritual counselling by trendy Brit, David Warner. The Wild Bunch (1969) is Peckinpah's most notable film, famously featuring realistic slow-motion arterial blood in gun-shot scenes which make Dirty Harry look like daytime viewing. Realism was an obsession with many directors 1960-80, and these gory scenes were similar to contemporary Vietnam war footage, which was very lightly censored. William Holden, Robert Ryan, Ben Johnson, Ernest Borgnine, & Edmund O'Brien lead the starry cast of military bank-robbers. Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (1973) starts with tremendous promise: a starry cast, wonderful hi-def colour photography, and a sophisticated prologue and first act, which give the impression Peckinpah is making a western version of a Greek tragedy, exploiting the audience's familiarity with the story. Sadly, this all dissipates in a soggy second act. However, besides the photography and strong performances by Coburn & Kristofferson, this film is also interesting as an alternative version of events to The Outlaw (1943), The Left-handed Gun (1958), and John Wayne's hagiography, Chisum (1970). Billy the Kid is shown to have a strong connection to the Mexican community, whose story was often overlooked in earlier versions of this famous tale.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
