THE WILD BUNCH (1969) - Robert Ryan's Photo-Matched Chairback with Director's Chair - Robert Ryan's photo-matched chairback with a director's chair from the production of Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch. Legendary actor Ryan rested in director's chairs in between shots in which he portrayed Deke Thornton, Pike Bishop's (William Holden) one-time partner and one of only two of the Wild Bunch left standing at film's end.

While chairbacks often moved from chair to chair during production, this specific canvas chairback labeled "Robert Ryan" in white lettering photo-matches to a behind-the-scenes photo taken onset as seen in the Cinephilia and Beyond article by Tom Pelan: "It Ain't Like It Used to Be. But It'll Do:" How Sam Peckinpah's 'The Wild Bunch' Became Both a Eulogy for a Mythic Past and a Template for a New Kind of Action.

Also included are a director's chair with blue and white wooden frame, a canvas seat and a matching canvas script bag that fits onto the arm of the chair. The chair exhibits wear from use and age, including paint chipping, color fading, and tears in the seat. Dimensions: 22" x 16.5" x 33" (56 cm x 42 cm x 84 cm)

Estimate: $1,500 - 3,000
