I worked for Sam Peckinpah on quite a bit of action in his films, and he got excited once in a while.
Almost immediately, Peckinpah realized he was working on a low-budget production, as he had to spend $90,000 of his own money to hire experienced crew members.
Addictions or not, Peckinpah still felt compelled to turn the genre exercise into something more significant.
Heston liked the film and called Peckinpah, saying, "I'd like to work with you."sfn The sprawling screenplay told the story of Union cavalry officer Major Dundee who commands a New Mexico outpost of Confederate prisoners.
By most accounts, the low-budget film shot on location in Arizona was a learning process for Peckinpah, who feuded with Fitzsimons (brother of the film's star Maureen O'Hara ) over the screenplay and staging of the scenes.
Despite its short run, The Westerner and Peckinpah were nominated by the Producers Guild of America for Best Filmed Series.
