BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: One of star Joel McCrea’s (Border River) personal favorite films, Cattle Drive is a captivating, character-driven western that draws inspiration from Rudyard Kipling’s classic Captains Courageous. Chester Graham Jr. (Dean Stockwell in his final role as a child actor), the spoiled teenage son of a railroad tycoon, gets lost in the middle of the desert but is rescued by Dan Matthews (McCrea), a cattle herder on his way west. As they head out on the trail together, the young greenhorn soon gets an education in the value of hard work, camaraderie and survival skills from a posse of rough-and-tumble cowboys. Directed by multi-genre master Kurt Neumann (Secret of the Blue Room, Son of Ali Baba, The Fly) and co-starring Chill Wills (The Alamo), this charming coming-of-age tale of the Old West is terrific entertainment for the whole family!

New on Blu-ray & 4K: PAT GARRETT AND BILLY THE KID (1973) Starring James Coburn & Kris Kristofferson

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: Sam Peckinpah’s cycle of genre-redefining westerns came to a close with this blood- and dust-caked elegy for the American West, which marries his renegade style with a fatalistic sense of finality. As newly minted lawman Pat Garrett (James Coburn) stalks the outlaw Billy the Kid (Kris Kristofferson) across the plains, their old friendship is twisted into rivalry, and mythic ideals of freedom come up against an emerging ruling-class order—all to the strains of a haunting soundtrack by Bob Dylan (who also appears as the mercurial Alias). Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid—presented here for the first time in three separate versions—stands as perhaps the maverick auteur’s richest, most mature work, a world-weary ballad that bears the solemn weight of history passing into legend.
