Description de l'ouvrage:
One of the most controversial films of its time, The Wild Bunch is the epitome of the no-holds-barred filmmaking of the 1960s and 1970s. Since its 1969 release, it has come to be recognized not only as an iconic Western, but as one of the most important films in the American cinematic canon.

Over the years a parade of filmmakers have tried to imitate its gut-punch effects but none have equaled it. The Wild Bunch revived the floundering career of volatile, self-destructive director Sam Peckinpah--it also hung on him the label "Bloody Sam." This book tells the complete story of the film's production, reception and legacy.

À propos de l'auteur :

Revue de Presse:
...a breezy, intensely-researched celebration of Peckinpah's landmark movie...Mesce provides some interesting new insights...Also provides valuable context regarding 1960s cinema...-- Cinema Retro

Mesce succinctly views Peckinpah as 'the right man in the right place at the right time' to make this classic, perfectly analyzing the core of what made The Wild Bunch a moving classic, a pivot point in American cinema.-- Western Clippings
