Dylan had a small but important role in the film, in addition to scoring it.The story is factual but not true-to-facts. Peckinpah and the writers took considerable artistic license with history. That said, the movie is more a fable of the creation and end of myth. I think it's a moving and memorable film. I would rate it as one of the great westerns. From that era, only "Little Big Man" and "Will Penny" are as good.
"Major Dundee" isn't a terrible film. It would have been considerably better had the studio not taken it away from Peckinpah at the editing stage. I would love to see a "director's cut." Alas, there isn't one and, since Peckinpah has been gone for several years, not likely to be. UNLESS SOME LUCKY SOUL CAN FIND A SHOOTING SCRIPT AND REEDIT THE FILM - if the edited out footage is still extant.
