June 20 1962 

RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY opens in NYC. Written by N.B. Stone Jr., with uncredited input from director Sam Peckinpah and  William Roberts. In the waning days of the Old West 2 ageing cowboys, played by veterans Joel McCrea & Randolph Scott, reunite to take one last ride into the sunset. The essential Sam Peckinpah aesthetic sublimely delineated in a brisk, compact 83 minutes. With Mariette Hartley.
