Items related to Sam Peckinpah: 'If They Move ... Kill 'Em!'
This is the first major biography of Sam Peckinpah and is an attempt to do critical justice to an important contribution to the language of cinema as it spins the tale of Peckinpah's dramatic, overcharged life and the turbulent times through which he moved.
Peckinpah was both a hopeless romantic and a grim nihilist, a film-maker who defined his era as much as he was shaped by it. Rising to prominence in the social and political upheavals of the late 1960s and early 1970s, Peckinpah and his generation of directors - Stanley Kubrick, Arthur Penn and Robert Altman - broke with convention and turned the traditional genres of Western, science fiction, war and detective movies inside out. No other era in Hollywood has matched it for sheer audacity and originality, and no one has cut a wider path through that time than Sam Peckinpah.
