In this thriller, perhaps Sam Peckinpah's most controversial film, David, a young American mathematician, moves with his English wife, Amy, to the village where she grew up. Their sense of safety unravels as the local men David has hired to repair their house prove more interested in leering at Amy and intimidating beginning an agonizing initiation into the iron laws of violent masculinity that govern Peckinpah's world. Disclosed in this booklet are two articles written by movie reviewers promoting the film's cult status and showing this great generation how movies are promoted and judged during the 1970s.
