Okay I'll admit I'm a little buyist on this one
considering I went to school with James
Coburn's son and got to see their Bel Air
house on occasion and Kris is a good friend
of an old sax player in my bands, but first
and foremost I'm a Peckinpah fan and this
is a great film, the music by Bob Dylan
seals the deal and using my Palm Springs
Rating System don't ya know I give this
one the rare Five Palm Trees, outstanding!
Every 70s Movie: Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973)Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid: The Wildest Western Ever Made
Peckinpah would start drinking on the set first thing each morning, and by the afternoon he would be loaded and walking around firing a revolver into the air. At night he'd lie in bed shooting at his reflection in the mirror, a drunken outburst that made its way into the movie when, after killing Billy, Garrett, in a bout of self-hatred and disgust, shoots to pieces his own reflection in a mirror. At one point, "I had to take a pistol away from Sam," says Kristofferson. "He was worrying some people."
The Horror!!
