In The First Book To Critically Examine Each Of The Fourteen Feature Films Sam Peckinpah Directed During His Career, Michael Bliss Stresses The Persistent Moral And Structural Elements That Permeate Peckinpahs Work.By Examining The Films In Great Detail, Bliss Makes Clear The Moral Framework Of Temptation And Redemption With Which Peckinpah Was Concerned While Revealing The Directors Attention To Narrative. Bliss Shows That Each Of Peckinpahs Protagonists Is Involved With Attempting, In The Words Of Ridethe High Countrys Steve Judd, To Enter My House Justified.The Validity Of This Systematic Method Is Clearly Demonstrated In The Chapter Devoted To The Wild Bunch. Byenumerating The Doublings And Triplings Of Action And Dialogue Found In The Film, Bliss Underscores Its Symbolic And Structural Complexity. Beginning The Chapters Treating Junior Bonner And The Getaway With Analyses Of Their Important Title Sequences, Bliss Shows How These Frequently Disregarded Pieces Present In Miniature The Major Moral And Narrative Concerns Of The Films. In His Chapter On The Osterman Weekend, Bliss Makes Apparent Peckinpahs Awareness Of And Concern With The Selfreflexive Nature Of Filmmaking Itself.Bliss Shows That Like John Ford, Peckinpah Moved From Optimism To Pessimism. The Films Of The Directors Early Period, From The Deadly Companions To Cable Hogue, Support The Romantic Ideals Of Adventure And Camaraderie And Affirm A Potential For Goodness In America. In His Second Group Of Films, Which Begins With Straw Dogs And Ends With Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia, Both Heroes And Hope Have Vanished. It Is Only In The Osterman Weekend That Peckinpah Appears Finally To Have Renewed His Capacity For Hope, Allowing His Career To Close In A Positive Way.
