Open in HeraeAbout the film
The Ballad of Cable Hogue is a 1970 American Western comedy film directed and produced by Sam Peckinpah, and starring Jason Robards, Stella Stevens and David Warner. Set in the Arizona desert during a period when the frontier was closing, the film follows three years in the life of a failed prospector (Robards). While unmistakably a Western, the movie is unconventional for the genre and for the director. It contains only a few brief scenes of violence and gunplay, relying more on a subtly crafted story that could better be characterized as comedic in nature. The film was released by Warner Bros. on March 18, 1970. It was a critical and commercial disappointment on initial release, but has since undergone a reevaluation. Peckinpah himself considered it one of his favorites of his own works.
