No Passion & Poetry? WTH?

Where's the director's cut gone that was on the second disc of the DVD set?

i always thought that feature length doc on Osterman covered that title enough. i concentrated more on the films that needed me . like Garcia. Cross. Convoy..

Peckinpah completists need to watch this: https://rarefilmm.com/2023/02/the-lady-is-my-wife-1967/

And they need to watch it now.

Glenn Erickson has some comments on the show here: https://trailersfromhell.com/the-lady-is-my-wife/

Thanks for sharing. Will definitely check it out.

Thanks from me too. Great ...

A good film with some interesting stuff. Contains a slo mo scene (with no violence) and a totally surprising rapid cut shoot-out nobody else did in these days. And a bizzare billiard play on horseback.
I liked it more than Noon Wine, for which I did not really understand the praise it got.

If one is interested in the other TV stuff Peckinpah did between The Deadly Companions and TWB, you can find on Youtube also Mon petit chou (1961, with Lee Marvin, George Maharis and Macha Meril), The Losers (1962 with Lee Marvin and Keenan Wynn) and a b/w version of Noon Wine (1966, with Jason Robards and Olivia de Havilland). So only Pericles on 31st Street (1962) is still missing. All 5 run about 50 min.

The other 15 earlier TV series episodes he directed all run only 25 min.

Thanks for reminding me about this one. I watched it 14 months ago:

Route 66 - "Mon Petit Chou" (11/24/61) - 6/10. Guests Lee Marvin (!) Macha Meril (!!) and Bert Remsen (!!!). The Pittsburg Hilton. Chanson. A funicular car trolley.  Fisticuffs. "The lions are eating up all the prophets." Stirling Silliphant. Directed by Sam Peckinpah. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEKs_CSt_sk&t=34s

I'll have to check out "The Losers."

[stanton]

The Losers (a perfect Peckinpah title) is The Westerner 2.0., with Marvin and Wynn taking over the roles and names of Brian Keith and John Dehner, but it is now set in the modern west, so it's a post western. But it follows the more comedic episodes of The Westerner, which Peckinpah directed himself as well as the darkest episodes.

PERICLES ON 31st STREET I really like. I have a very good copy, maybe I find a way to upload it...

[stanton]

Mike do you have meanwhile every TV movie which Peckinpah directed?
