Philip French, film critic of The Observer, introduces the recently discovered longer version of Sam Peckinpah's great western.

Starring James Coburn as Pat Garrett and Kris Kristofferson as Billy the Kid
with Bob Dylan as Alias

'It's times that have changed - not me.' Billy the young outlaw is forced to accept that 'progress' has come to the American south west, but even so he is reluctant to change his ways. It is up to his former friend Pat Garrett - an outlaw turned lawman - to hunt down the kid and make him see sense - at the end of a rope. Sam Peckinpah's western is being shown in the director's version, first seen last year, and in its original 'Scope format.
