The Wild Bunch: An Album in Montage is a 1996 American short documentary film directed and edited by Paul Seydor. The occasion for the creation of this documentary was the discovery of 72 minutes of silent black-and-white 16 mm film footage of Sam Peckinpah and company on location in northern Mexico during the filming of The Wild Bunch. Todd McCarthy described it as, "A unique and thoroughly unexpected document about the making of one of modern cinema's key works, this short docu will be a source of fascination to film buffs in general and Sam Peckinpah fanatics in particular." Michael Sragow wrote that the film is "a wonderful introduction to Peckinpah’s radically detailed historical film about American outlaws in revolutionary Mexico — a masterpiece that’s part bullet-driven ballet, part requiem for Old West friendship and part existential explosion. Seydor’s movie is also a poetic flight on the myriad possibilities of movie directing." Seydor and Redman were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary (Short Subject).
