...alternative to the raclettes and pizzas that often sustain skiiers. The hotel's gourmet restaurant has all the trappings of a top-notch eatery - crisp table linen, sparkling silverware and crystal glasses - but with friendly, unstuffy service. It's headed by Klaus Lettner of Die Jungen Wilden (the young, wild ones), a group of hip chefs who aim to attract young people to their profession by breaking the rules of food preparation and presentation.

This DVD package spotlights two wild westerns (The Wild Bunch and Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid) and two mild ones (Ride the High Country and The Ballad of Cable Hogue), all paying tribute to colorful, mournful rogues whose time had passed. For Peckinpah, elegy was autobiography...
