Ride The High Country Sam Peckinpah [videorecording]=

By: Contributor(s): Material type: FilmFilmLanguage: English, French Summary language: English Original language: English Subtitle language: English, French, Spanish Publication details: United States Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) 1962Description: 1 videodisc (ca. 94 min.) sound, color. 4 3/4 inLOC classification:
  • PN1997 .R534 1962
Summary: From case cover: In this brilliant, moving film directed by Sam Peckinpah (The Wild Bunch), cowboy icons Randolph Scott and Joel McCrea find roles to match their leathery Western personas, playing aging lawmen hired to guard a gold shipment. They don't have much: a horse each, a couple of dollars. And they have everything: their independence. But the frontier is disappearing--and so is space wide open enough for independent men. With luck, the two will find space enough for this ride and one last payday. They will also find adventure, including the dramatic rescue of a mistreated bride (Mariette Hartley), gun-blazing shootouts and a life-changing betrayal. Both an exciting Western and a heart-lifting homage to genre, Ride the High Country is a journey into film greatness.
