Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid

Billy (Kris Kristofferson) improvises a song (which suggests Australian Geoff Mack's often-recorded 1959 composition "I've Been Everywhere") , having killed his jailers, as ruffian Alias (Bob Dylan, whose soundtrack swells with "Billy #1") observes his departure, in Sam Peckinpah's Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, 1973.

James Coburn (1st title character) is looking for Billy and comes to the town where Slim Pickens, we eventually realize, is the downtrodden sheriff, Katy Jurado his wife, and his prisoner roams mostly free, motivation running low, in Sam Peckinpah’s Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid, 1973.

Maybe the best dialogue scene in the film, Garrett (James Coburn) meets sagacious Governor Wallace (Jason Robards Jr.) and two apparatchiks (Jack Dodson, John Beck) in Sam Peckinpah's Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, 1973.

From the director's cut, just after the credits, nearly ten minutes into the movie, Garrett (James Coburn) and crew flush out Billy (Kris Kristofferson) and pals (Charles Martin Smith, Gene Evans), Sam Peckinpah bringing the Bob Dylan track "Billy Surrenders," in Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid, 1973.

Director Sam Peckinpah’s opening, which on repeated viewing is not incoherent, beginning with the murder of one title character (James Coburn) and flashing back to the introduction of the other (Kris Kristofferson), from the elegiac Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid, 1973, featuring Bob Dylan’s famous soundtrack.

The legendary outlaw clashes with his former best friend, now the sheriff in director Sam Peckinpah's Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (1973).
