Ballad of Cable Hogue (1970)

Well, the Ballad of Cable Hogue, another Peckinpah film, was a western.

La di dah. Not a big western fan, nope.

That's about all i can say about it, except David Warner played a funny, charming, and very cunning British preacher named Joshua, and was very cute in all his skinny glory, in a pair of filthy long johns. I will be capping, yes.

Loved his dialogue, though. So eloquent, so wordy in just the right way. And bearded. Yes. Lots of drunken singing, very amusing. Likes to handle breasts. Obsessed with them.

And he's very good at falling down stairs without a stuntman - he did it in Morgan, he did it here too. Funny.

Apparently David nearly had a nervous breakdown making this movie. Peckinpah was some sort of slavedriver on the set, it seems.

Ah, here's another one for you. Signs and Wonders was an Anglo-American TV coproduction some time in the mid-90s. David Warner, Prunella Scales and James Earl Jones, and loads of stuff about brainwashing cults.
