This restoration of Sam Peckinpah's 1965 western Major Dundee is nothing short of magnificent, a noble attempt at restoring a famously wrecked masterpiece. When Peckinpah went over budget and over schedule during the Mexico shoot, unshot scenes were canceled and the footage rudely cut by the studio. The director disowned the results. In 2005, surviving footage was patched back in, and a new musical soundtrack commissioned to replace the score Peckinpah hated. This raises some legitimate questions about interpreting a director's intentions, and about messing with film history, but Major Dundee--The Extended Version is such a rousing, mysterious experience, one feels grateful.
Major Dundee (Charlton Heston) is a vainglorious officer busted to the decidedly inglorious job of overseeing prisoners in a fort in New Mexico. An abduction gives him the excuse to mount an expedition into Mexico, chasing the perpetrators and perhaps a shot at greatness. His ragtag posse includes Confederate POWs, notably one Captain Ben Tyreen (Richard Harris), whose intense former friendship with Dundee is tainted with a sense of betrayal on both sides. (Heston and Harris, two actors not known for subtlety, are splendid.) Part Ahab, part Alexander the Great, Dundee leads the expedition away from its purpose and into a near-mythic kind of wandering.
Peckinpah gets everything right--the landscapes, the sneaky humor, the code of men. He also takes time to distinguish the supporting characters, such as Jim Hutton's awkward young officer and Senta Berger's stranded widow. The Peckinpah stock company of amazing character actors is in place, too, including James Coburn, Warren Oates, Ben Johnson, L.Q. Jones, and Slim Pickens. It will never be exactly what Peckinpah envisioned, but now Major Dundee rides suspiciously close to greatness. --Robert Horton

Sam Peckinpah's 1965 western Major Dundee is a near-great film that has a checkered history. The tale of its mangling by the studio that took it out of Peckinpah's hands is as well known as the butchery that accompanied Orson Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons or Touch Of Evil, or Erich Von Stroheim's Greed. But, Columbia studio's restored 136 minute long DVD version of the film really shines. Yet, some critics have still damned the film as a `noble failure' or the like. This is too bad since the ...

So he breaks the rules and gathers a singular battalion, composed by drifters, drunks, renegades, Confederate prisoners and even a horse stealer. His personal revenge in what concerns the endless desire of revenge maybe compared with Ahbab in ... Read More

Soldiers at war. Every time I see Major Dundee it leaves me with a since of lose. Even in victory. They kill. They die. Not very glamorous. Trying honest tell of the cost of battle.

This is a great western. You have all the basics of the genre: troubled actors trying to do right, hopeless odds, a good spot of violence, and real hated bad guys. The story of this movie pits some rebs and union troops against the french (in mexico) and some apache killers. yes, the good guys are outnumbered and outgunned. but, the chance to kill villans brings out the fact that reb, or yank, they are all americans. in the process we have a real good movie. get it an enjoy!!!!!!!!

...would be an apt alternative title for this broken-backed mess of a masterpiece. The plot is simple -- in the closing months of the Civil War, Union officer Dundee, disgraced by un-named misconduct at Gettysburg, is now a gaoler presiding over Confederate prisoners at a fort in New Mexico. An Apache raid on some settlers leads him off on a punitive expedition into Mexico, which Dundee sees as a stab at redeeming his reputation. Short of troops, he impresses his Southern warders unwillingly into combat, ... Read More
