Artist's Description
The Palace bar, opening in September 1877, is the oldest frontier bar in Arizona. In the summer of 1971 it was used as a favorite watering hole for Steve McQueen in Sam Peckinpah's "Junior Bonner" (1972).
The low key modern Western is a gentle tale with marvelous performances by McQueen and his estranged parents played by Ida Lupino (1918-1995) and Robert Preston (1918-1987).
It flopped at the box office so Steve and Sam returned that same year with their explosive "The Getaway," filled with multiple killings and chases. It was filmed in the U.S./Mexico border town of El Paso, Texas across from Juarez, where drug related executions are the norm.
