Director Sam Peckinpah (1925-1984) never won an Oscar. His filmography is short and uneven, and his movies have never found a wide audience. Despite this, many filmmakers today--including Tarantino and Scorsese--count him as a major influence. <i>Sam Peckinpah</i>, edited by Fernando Ganzo, investigates how this unique filmmaker can have such an outsized legacy, exploring films as diverse as <i>New Mexico</i> and <i>Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia</i>, as well as Peckinpah's television work. This lavishly illustrated volume will delight both scholars and fans--as well as bringing the underappreciated Peckinpah to new audiences in a new millennium.
