Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid: Three Films, One Man's Opinion... Comparing The Three Different Cuts(Now With Screenshots)

Sir
Wonderful info on perhaps my favorite Western
What is cool here is that not only is it
reflective of the old west changing but it also
captures the flavor of the LA cowboy folkrock scene of say the notorious byrd brothers, kristofferson, dylan, eagles, Band, who were also reaching back to that time; that freedom ... well how do you say it? The sixties is there...
For those who lived thru that time this movie functions not only as the great story which it is but it captures the outlaw character of the late sixties perhaps the last generation of real character actors like Slim Pickens and Chill Wills. For boomers we grew up with those guys
at the Sat cowboy movies. I have the record from
the movie, the soundtrack dylan did i love the
stretched out guitar solo versions; its all about
capturing the mood, flavor, ambiance of a time
which is pretty durn near gone.
How do you find the Preview Directors Cut version to own? Thanks for your work. I guess you know AMC did a documentary on Sam Peckinpah
I believe its about four years old and Kris does the narration?
