Beverly Hills, CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer [MGM], 1973. Vintage studio still color photograph from the 1975 film. Provenance label and annotations in manuscript pencil on the verso.

A very nearly experimental Western made by Sam Peckinpah at his peak, sufficiently strange to have remained of interest only to the most intense fans of Western revisionism. Comparable only to "McCabe and Mrs. Miller" (1971) and "The Shooting" (1966) in terms of sheer impressionism being laid upon the genre, with iconic imagery and super-stylization in every frame.

Shot on location in Durango, Mexico.

10 x 8 inches. Near Fine.
