The ballad of Cable Hogue
30 June 2006A wonderful film directed by Sam Peckinpah starring Jason Robards. Its a pity that Peckinpah couldn’t get to make more movies like this one.
Abandoned in the desert, prospector Cable Hogue survives his ordeal when he discovers a freshwater spring. Transforming the oasis into a much needed pit stop on the local stagecoach route, the resourceful Hogue sits back to wait for his double-crossing former partners. Jason Robards shines in the title role of this lighthearted Western, a film characterized more by picaresque comedy than by director Sam Peckinpah’s signature violence.
Here is the wikipedia link and a list of reviews.
