Amazon.com essential video:
Junior Bonner is director Sam Peckinpah's lovely, elegiac look at the world of the rodeo--and his only film with nary a bullet wound. Steve McQueen, engagingly easygoing but determined, is the title character, a rodeo rider out to win a big bull-riding contest in his hometown. Even as he confronts his dwindling days on the circuit, he also must deal with his feuding parents, marvelously played by Robert Preston and Ida Lupino. Preston is particularly good as the randy old con artist; he and Lupino strike real sparks. Peckinpah's slow-motion camera is put to particularly good use filming the balletic violence of the rodeo, at once more terrifying and awe-inspiring than any gun battle. A lovely country-western valentine to a dying breed. --Marshall Fine

This is an exceptional film. great script, superb acting, and as they say in the commentary, "not just good editing, perfect editing." Peckinpah was a great director. Unlike most, I am not a huge fan of The Wild Bunch - The Original Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition). My favorite Peckinpah films are Junior Bonner and the The Ballad of Cable Hogue. Both character studies show that Peckinpah could do drama, as well as action/violence.

After completing two of my favorite Peckinpah films, The Wild Bunch in 1969 and Straw Dogs in 1971, Sam Peckinpah turned his attention to Junior Bonner in 1972, before going on to make other great films like The Getaway, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid and Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia. Although I am a fan of Peckinpah's films, Junior Bonner is not among my Peckinpah favorites. Still, it is a worthwhile experience. Filmed in Prescott, Arizona, the film chronicles a week in the life of veteran rodeo ... Read More

This is a superb movie with excellent performances. I lived in Pendleton, Oregon, the home of the famous Pendleton Roundup, for nine years, and I think that this is the best rodeo movie ever made. The actors all give true to life performances, and it seems so real that one can smell the dust of the arena. There is no sparkling, brittle dialogue, because rodeo men don't talk that way; but a great deal is said in a few words.
