Sam Peckinpah - USA – 1972 – fiction / fictie – couleur / kleur – VO / OV – STT FR / NL OND
The action movie to beat all action movies, with an amoral plot handled in the spirit of the best westerns. Sam Peckinpagh directs the Walter Hill screenplay, and glamour gleams from the screen in the form of Steve Mc Queen and Ali Mc Graw. Quincy Jones wrote the tune Toots Thielemans (in Flagey at 12.04!) plays on the harmonica at a crucial moment. The novel was by Jim ThompsonEnjoy this event with a friend
