...WILD BUNCH. There are equally generous doses of blood and poetry in this raucous western directed by Sam Peckinpah. Telling a violent yarn about a group of freebooting bandits operating around the Tex-Mex border at the turn of the century, Peckinpah uses both an uncommonly fine sense of irony and an eye for visual splendor to establish himself as one of the very best Hollywood directors...
...their advocacy of revaluation of the German mark, bridge-building to the East, and greater worker participation in management and profit sharing will be the direct beneficiaries.
