Viewing Notes

Second movie of my unofficial Peckinpah day since we were essentially snowed in. I’ve seen this movie a few times but I finally watched the Blu-Ray I bought last fall. Great print and McQueen and MacGraw are great together. One of the great McQueen films in my book. Kind of amazing this was directed by Peckinpah with a screenplay by Walter Hill off a book by Jim Thompson, starring Steve McQueen. That’s four of my most favorite people working together!
