In Reply to: Peckinpah's early masterpiece, "Ride the High Country," starring posted by tinear on May 25, 2009 at 10:46:57:
Some consider it Peckinpah's finest film. I don't agree but it's certainly a great work. Wasn't it Randolph Scott's final film? And the young Mariette Hartley certainly made an impression. This film is way too good to be so unknown! Let's hope this thread you've started might encourage some member to go out and rent a Peckinpah film.
They won't regret it.
