Pat Garret and Billy the Kid is truly a Classic, I think Sam Peckinpah is greatly underappreciated as a Director.
He was certainly capable of capturing great performances from his actors, and the only film of his I've seen that was really bad was Major Dundee, a film that was ripped to ribbons by the editor and one that Peckinpah subsequently disowned (for good reason)
Bob Dylan has a small part in PG + BTK too doesn't he?
Full of great lines, great actors and very very dark humor
To my embarassment it wasn't until recently I discovered that Pat Garret and Billy the Kid were real people, and not just a work of fiction
I wonder how faithfully Peckinpah captured the story?
