Highly respected and influential American film director (1925–1984) known for his unflinching, usually graphic portrayals of violence, often in oddly poetic slow motion. Felt tip signature and inscription, “To Zearl, with hope, Sam Peckinpah,” on an off-white 4 x 6 heavy stock album page. Punch holes to right edge, a bit of trivial sloiling, and a couple collector’s notations, otherwise fine condition. RRAuction COA.
