Sam Peckinpah: Major Dundee
built 658 days ago
Legendarily shredded in the editing room by the producer, Sony Pictures has now restored all but six minutes of Peckinpah's preferred cut. Charlton Heston's Dundee offers his Confederate prisoner Richard Harris a deal: continue rotting in a Civil War prison camp or join with hated Union jailers in pursuit of children kidnapped by Apache raiders. And a landlocked Moby Dick begins, across the Rio Grande, to contend with the Apaches, Emperor Maximilian's French lancers-and each other. See it at last as Peckinpah intended.

Prince's account establishes, for the first time, Peckinpah's place as a major filmmaker. This book is essential reading for those interested in Peckinpah, the problem of movie violence, and contemporary American cinema.

The Major Dundee DVD comes with commentary by Peckinpah historians Nick Redman, Paul Seydor, Garner Simmons, and David Weddle. It is a muddled commentary — four people are just too many. They often contradict one another, speak over each other, and are so biased against the film’s excellence as to beg the question, why did the studio ask these jokers to provide commentary?
