This film was made at the united atrtist studios but was released on dvd by MGM. In terms of the dvd menu it is pretty basic with just the following :- Play Scene Selection Language selection
And that is it when I bought this dvd about rwo years ago it cost me £5.99, but I have seen it in many shops such as hmv, virgin and woolworths from £4.00 to £10.00, so I would recommend you do shop around.
Produced by leonard Freeman Also written by Leonard Freeman and directed by Ted Post.
You will see the following actors in this film :- Clint Eastwood Inger Stevens( the love interest) Ed Begley Pat Hingle as judge fenton And also starring Dennis Hopper.
This film is based in oklahoma which at the time is a territory and not a state, and without giving too much away is a motivating factor to Judge Fenton. There basically 3 stories in this film which work well together, the first part is where inger stevens is looking for the killer of her husband and every time a marshall brings someone into town she goes to see if one of them is the killer and she becomes the love interest.
The other part is asks without actually asking is the morality of habging and even any forms of public executions, as you will see it became more about public entertainment than a deterent.
Any way the main story Jed (clint) who has bought some cattle of a local rancher and just after he leaves the owner is murdered. Jed is tracked down by a lynch mob and accussed of murder and rustling the cattle and all nine decide to lynch him. But they do not do the job proper and after they leave a marshall rides past and saves him ( although I am not sure about his first aid methods). Anyway he is taken back to fort grant where he is proved innocent and is offered a job as marshall. but one by one he tracks down the lynch mob. This film has got the usual gun fights but you will not see blood and guts.This is a good enjoyable western. clint makes a great marshall if he was the marshall you would give yourself up knowing you are going to die. And I do not think there would be too much crime today if he was in charge. This is a film the whole family can watch without too much worry about what they are watching. as I said there is no blood or guts, and it is the sort of film even your grandma will sit down with you and watch.
If you are into westerns or action films you will like this but if you are not you may not like it. But Clint does make watching him in these films enjoyable and I admit I am biased towards him as an actor, but I would recommend this film.
Anyway I just want to wish every all the best and hope you all enjoy this film.
