Today’s Feature: Convoy
Starring: Kris Kristofferson, Ali MacGraw, Burt Young, Madge Sinclair, Franklyn Ajaye, Ernest Borgnine
When the Western film, for many decades the staple of the American cinema, suffered a decline in the Seventies, a new sub-genre helped fill the void – the trucking epic. The great Sam Peckinpah (“Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia”) directed this action classic based on the runaway hit song, “Convoy.” Martin “Rubber Duck” Penwald (Kris Kristofferson, “Heaven’s Gate”), in pursuance of a feud with Sheriff Lyle “Cottonmouth” Wallace (Ernest Borgnine, “Marty”), unites scores of his fellow-drivers via Citizen Band radio into a gigantic mile-long convoy which, powered by pent-up frustrations and resentments as much as by diesel-fuel, rolls irresistibly along the Arizona highways towards the freedom of the Mexican border. The stellar cast also includes Ali MacGraw (“The Getaway”), Seymour Cassel (“Eye of the Tiger”) and Burt Young (“The Killer Elite”) as Bobby “Love Machine” “Pig Pen”.
