melodrama” “A dazzling romantic SHOWCASE Sam Peckinpah Showcase Friday, May 13 through Sunday, June 12 The hard-luck auteur of American film, director Sam Peckinpah (1925-1984) peren- nially battled with studios and producers, with some of his best work shredded in the editing room. Carelessly typed as a purveyor of horrific violence (although a director of plays in his student days), Peckinpah retained throughout his work his strong personal code of honor. A stylist without peer in the montage tradition of Sergei Eisenstein, he was also capable of the most tender and poignant of romances. With his heretofore butchered works now restored to acclaimed re-evaluation, Peckinpah can finally be fully experienced as one of the world’s greatest directors of action, and a unique American master.
