The book helped lead a generation of readers and filmgoers to a full and enduring appreciation of Peckinpah's landmark films, locating his work in the central tradition of American art that goes all the way back to Emerson, Hawthorne, and Melville...This edition stands alone in offering full treatment of all versions of Peckinpah's Westerns. It also includes discussion of all fourteen episodes o f Peckinpah's television series, The Westerner, and a full description of the versions of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid now (or formerly) in circulation, inclusing an argument that the label "director's cut" on the version in release by Turner is misleading. Additionally, the book's final chapter has been substantially rewritten and now includes new information about Peckinpah's background and sources." -- BOOK BLURB ISBN: 0252022688 Donation: Donated by Simon Wincer Contents: List of illustrations -- Foreword: David Weddle -- Introduction -- 1.

Online resources

Some of our items are now available digitally. On the catalogue they are indicated with an ‘online resource’ label above the thumbnail.

Some items have direct links that you can use if you are eligible. Some items are only available to RMIT staff and students or may be otherwise limited.

Some items are not deliverable directly. Please request these items using the search results form (or contact us) and we will contact you to check eligibility and to arrange delivery. Please note that digital clippings files for films prior to 2020 may have different contents to their physical equivalents and you should check both versions if possible.
