Blood and guts aptly describes the films of the unpunctual screen-writer and director Sam Peckinpah, who set the stage for movie violence during his career.
Peckinpah earned the handle Bloody Sam after production of the high-body-count western The Wild Bunch in 1969, and westerns are among his best bib films. Peckinpah was born in Fresno, California, in 1925, when it was still a typical western town, and that motivate helped shape his career. Later, Livingston became one of his favorite haunts.
After serving in the Marine Body of men during World War II, Peckinpah began graduate studies in theatre at the University of Southern California. By 1954, he was working in Hollywood as a radio show assistant and dialogue director, breaking into westerns the following year as a television scriptwriter and leader for shows like Gunsmoke, Broken Arrow, Have Gun, Will Travel, and also The Westerner and The Rifleman—shows he created. Peckinpah
