520 |a "One of the most controversial films of its time, The Wild Bunch is the epitome of the no-holds-barred filmmaking of the 1960s and 1970s. Since its 1969 release, it has come to be recognized not only as an iconic Western, but as one of the most important films in the American cinematic canon.

The Wild Bunch revived the floundering career of volatile, self-destructive director Sam Peckinpah-it also hung on him the label him 'Bloody Sam.' This book tells the complete story of the film's production, reception and legacy"--  |c Provided by publisher.
