Daniel Cruse is a writer at Collider who focuses on crime films, classic movies, action, martial arts, and horror cinema.
The Big Picture The Western genre saw a full tilt into a revisionist period around the 1960s. These films took a more thematically rich, modern approach to a classical form of storytelling. One of the key differences was a more honest engagement with the Old West as a land of contradictory morals.
Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid RWestern Release Date May 23, 1973 Director Sam Peckinpah Cast James Coburn , Kris Kristofferson , bob dylan , Jason Robards Runtime 115 Minutes Writers Rudy Wurlitzer Budget $4.64 Million Studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Distributor Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Expand 'Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid' Follows Two Men Whose Fates Intertwine in the Old West In real life, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid did not have much of a friendship.
The sequence that includes one of Dylan's most popular songs, written specifically for the film, "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," was noted by Kristofferson to be "the strongest use of music that had ever seen in a film." It's hard not to agree with him, when the rush of emotion brought on by Sheriff Baker's death is accompanied by Dylan's grave lyricism about a lawman accepting his own demise. Baker is comforted by a silent look from his wife.
