Background

Excellent footage of the making of a great film, but just finished
reading the produced script and found it to be followed exactly as
written except for the scorpion sequence opening. The documentary
narrative mentions that the walk up to Mapache's was an improvised
scene, but the script details that scene even to describe the
background players. Comparing the script to the film it seems that Sam
Peckipah followed it without diversion. And why not, he wrote the
script with Walon Green.

I saw the movie a few days ago, i guess some call it one of the greatest western of all time, it doesn't make my choice though, besides, i thought too many women and children got in way of the shooting.

i hung my head,
when i got up this morning from bed,
i had been looking forward so much,
to see your face and feel your touch,
sunday morning without you,
is a sunday i'd rather sleep through,
won't you soon get well,
so i can see your face again,
sunday morning without you,
i didn't feel like having any breakfast or juice,
no milk, no yoghurt,
becouse my soul feels hurt,
i hung my head,
when i got up this morning from bed.
sunday morning without your love coming my way,
that is not my kind of sunday.
