The Getaway
Los Angeles: First Artists / National General Pictures, 1972. Vintage reference photograph from the 1972 film, showing director Sam Peckinpah behind the camera. Mimeo snipe on the verso.
A ballet of violence, and to date easily the finest adaptation of a Jim Thompson novel ever produced. Other grand alliances made this one of the great crime films of the New American Cinema, including a supremely confident Steve McQueen as an antihero, and a young Walter Hill—who first encountered McQueen on the set of "Bullitt" four years prior—handling the screenplay.
8 x 10 inches. Light toning to margins, else Near Fine.
Grant US. Silver Classic Noir. Spicer US.
