Ride the High Country (1962).

[Neville]

This is one of the few Peckinpah films I still had to see, and I'm glad I did. Most of Peckinpah's recurrent themes and views are already present, but given that this was one of his earlier films it is shot in a far more classical fashion, and this, together with the awesome work of Joel McCrea and Randolph Scott makes it an aboslute favourite.

This is a great film and it was Randolph Scott's last. It was a fitting end to  his and McCrea's western careers. I guess this also began the Peckinpah - Warren Oates relationship as Oates became  part of Peckinpah's stock company.

About the movie itself, those Hammond boys took the whole marrying into the family thing a little too literally.

[The Burgomaster]

I agree - - this is a top-notch western that seems to have been forgotten over the years.  I added it to my DVD collection a few months ago, and I'm glad that I did.

This is a good one that I saw again last month. Randolf Scott makes some good Westerns. At first glance you wouldn' t think he would be good, but he always comes through with a good film.

Peckinpah's second film after his years in television. Even so, probably one of the best westerns ever made.

I've only been able to see about 1/2 of it before, but I really liked what I saw. I will definitely be getting it on DVD (as part of the Peckinpah Westerns box set).
