[McQueen, Steve. (1930 - 1980)] [Preston, Robert. (1918-1987)] [Peckinpah, Sam. (1925-1984)]. 17 Original Movie Stills from "Junior Bonner". Seventeen original movie stills with promotional captions from the 1972 Sam Peckinpah western Junior Bonner, starring Steve McQueen as a veteran rodeo rider, "a rugged individualist whose only enemy seems to be the Twentieth Century." The film also starred Robert Preston, Ida Lupino and Ben Johnson. In very fine condition, each photograph approx 8 x 10 inches, varying slightly.
In a season with several other popular rodeo movies, Junior Bonner performed badly at the box office -- perhaps because it was marketed as a typical McQueen action movie, but was actually a gentler reflection on changing times. Nevertheless, McQueen was eager to work with Peckinpah again, and their second collaboration, The Getaway, would be wildly successful later the same year.
