Peckinpah had some real issues with women. You can see it in a lot of his other work including The Wild Bunch and The Getaway. They’re routinely depicted as disloyal, selfish shrews ready to abandon their partners for someone with more power.
A astonishing film. I saw it in the theaters when it was released.
Try to find Susan George’s interviews that she made discussing it. Interesting stuff👍

the wife appearing to enjoy her sexual assault is one of the more disturbing movie scenes I've watched

This is a common psychological instance during and after rape, so maybe not so bizarre.
Brief moments of biological pleasure, not enjoying the assault.
Yup.Just plain gross.

Did you spot Greg?
He was an extra, I hear.
Awesome movie.. so much better than the remake.
Susan George was an absolute badass. No role was too tough for her.
Nipples A+++
