Dies und das:

Pannen:

Abfolgefehler: When Cable leaves the land claim office, he walks in front of a black horse facing right. The next shot the black horse is facing left.

Dialogzitate:

Cable Hogue: I always thought you bankers stole for the rich. I didn't know you'd talk to shirttail trash like me.
Cushing: We don't steal.
Cable Hogue: Well, lend, borrow, invest and mortgage and repossess. What the hell else do you call it?

From the director of The Wild Bunch

Cable Hogue (Jason Robards) is left in the desert without any water.After a few days he finds a springs with lots of water. He offers some water to the stagecoach passengers for money. Until the automobiles take over.He becomes a friend with a preacher Joshua Sloane (David Warner).In the nearest town lives a whore called Hildy (Stella Stevens) who becomes Cable's lover and later they move together.Sam Peckinpah directed a terrific western comedy in 1970-one year after he directed The Wild Bunch.Some people may not like it so much because it isn't as violent as The Wild Bunch but I don't mind, I don't mind at all. The casting in the movie is brilliant.Jason Robards was a perfect man to play Cable Hogue.The movie has many memorable scenes.The Ballad of Cable Hogue left a good taste in my mouth- and I still haven't got it out.
