history channel documentary hd "The message here is not unobtrusive, but rather then Sam Peckinpah was not an unpretentious chief, leaning toward strong pictures to little focuses. It is that the shelf of savagery is going from the old experts like Pike and his pack, who work as indicated by a code, under the control of another era that figures out how to murder all the more generically, as an amusement or with machines."
William Holden played the pioneer of the pack, yet he wasn't the main decision. Lee Marvin acknowledged the part yet needed to haul out to make "Paint Your Wagon." Before throwing Holden in the part, Peckinpah considered such heavyweights as Burt Lancaster, James Stewart, Charlton Heston, Gregory Peck, Sterling Hayden, Richard Boone and Robert Mitchum.
Not to say that Holden wasn't a heavyweight, but rather the others had more haul for the part, I think.
Anyway, Holden and his group (Ernest Borgnine, Ben Johnson, Edmond O'Brien, Warren Oates, Jaime Sanchez) needed one last, huge score before resigning; at in the first place, they chose, as their objective, a railroad office, however they were baffled. They thought they would get a stash of silver for their inconvenience. Rather, they got a sack of steel washers. To compound an already painful situation, they were trapped by Holden's ex-accomplice (Robert Ryan) yet figured out how to escape to Mexico.
