      Talk about baritone. Real man, real American. I love hearing actors talk about their characters as though it's them. "*I* was resting by a tree. *I* shot back at him. *My* wife." This reveals a great love for and identification with, the character. I think a great director evokes this total identification with the story.

    You can tell James Coburn really loved the guy, even with all his demons, he knew he was a great director. He described him perfectly. Peckinpah really did alienate loyal people on the set that respected him, but Jimmy was lucky he was an actor, and didn’t get the blunt of his rage.

    I saw a version of the film that included the scene with Pat Garrett's wife. great scene. She doesn't want to be in Taos and argues that he will never fit in with the 'establishment' and will never be part of it. His wife was Mexican so that was another reason he wouldn't fit. Ole Pat was having trouble on the home front as well as struggling with having to go after his friend.
