THE FULL MONTE

Click here to read part one of a just published interview with cult director Monte Hellman from 1988. He is best remembered for his two off-beat 1960s westerns Ride in the Whirlwind and The Shooting both starring '60s starlet Millie Perkins (pictured) and Jack Nicholson; the classic road movie Two-Lane Blacktop (1971) with Warren Oates, Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys, and James Taylor; and Cockfighter (1974) with Oates and Perkins.
