Come on, Al, were going home.



Reading about the Sam Peckinpah retrospective at the National Film Theatre reminded me of my favourite Peckinpah movie 'Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia'. I was compelled to get myself a copy as it had been many years since I had last seen it.

It centres on Warren Oates (his best role), as a seedy bar pianist in Mexico city seeking a reward for bringing to a feudal landowner the head of the man who seduced his daughter.

A visceral story of love & revenge set amongst the stifling heat of mexico.
A classic movie of the 70’s.
