The Ballad of Cable Hogue

Burbank, CA: Warner Brothers, 1970. Vintage reference photograph from the 1970 film, showing Sam Peckinpah with David Warner and Jason Robards in the desert during shooting on location. Provenance label on the verso.

A charming, surreal revisionist Western comedy, following a drifter who finally decides to come to terms with his past and settle down. An unusual move for Peckinpah, released on the heels of "The Wild Bunch" (1969), and just prior to "Straw Dogs" (1971), both famed for being the high spots of the director's famed odes to violence and male madness.

Set in Arizona, shot on location in Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico.

9 x 8 inches. Near Fine.

Pitts 221.
