Wild Rovers

Wild Rovers is a 1971 American western film directed by Blake Edwards and starring William Holden and Ryan O'Neal. Originally intended as a three-hour epic, it was heavily edited by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer without Edwards' knowledge, including a reversal of the ending from a negative one to a positive. Edwards disowned the finished film and later satirised his battle with the studio in his comedy S.O.B., which also starred Holden.
