The First Cut is the Deepest

Friday, April 08, 2005

Gover Crisp, Sony’s head of restoration, and Christopher Caliendo, who wrote the new score for the restoration of “Major Dundee,” tell us about restoring Sam Peckinpah’s post-Civil War Western. Peckinpah's original cut was chopped up and rearranged by producers—causing Peckinpah to disassociate himself from the film. The new extended version reinstates all but six minutes of Peckinpah’s cut, and integrates a new soundtrack to replace one that Peckinpah strongly disliked.
