Description
Sam Peckinpah never shied away from controversy, whether it be The Wild Bunch, that garnered him the name 'Bloody Sam' or the English-set Straw Dogs. But in 1974 he would make what is arguably his most personal film, starring Peckinpah regular Warren Oates - Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia. Peckinpah would head to Mexico, work with a largely Mexican crew, while dealing with rampant alcoholism and away from studio interference, and make a stark, bleak and blackly comic film. In this episode we taker a look at the production, what made Peckinpah so 'bloody' and much more!
