An open letter to the late Mr. Peckinpah:

Dear Mr. Peckinpah,

I'm late to watching a lot of classic cinema, and recently have started going through your oeuvre. I'm enjoying quite a bit of it so far, but I have one question to ask:

Was The Getaway made solely because Ali MacGraw needed somewhere to go and look bewildered for a couple of hours? Because, man, that is one bemused woman.

Also, when Steve McQueen punched Sally Struthers, I found it very satisfying, so thanks for that much, at least.

Sincerely,
Mary Ann Brunson

P.S. Is the superfake blood part of some kind of artistic dealy I don't understand, or were special effects just that bad in the 70's?
