The Ballad of Cable Hogue (1970)


A western directed by Sam Peckinpah.
A man is robbed in the desert and finds water where none is thought to be. He builds a "desert oasis" for travelers there and falls in love with a prostitute from a nearby town. His best friend is a priest who likes to drink and womanize.
This was great. I'm just going to list the things that were cool: characters, plot, setting, style, pace and soundtrack. Nothing was bad and everything was good. I have a real soft spot for gritty westerns, so I'm rating this best. I'm not being very descriptive because I want you to watch this and enjoy it as much as I did.
