The brainchild of Howard Hawks and the Duke – and
reported antithesis to High Noon’s leftist amble through
Western territories – a spic-and-span transfer brings
this standoff story to life. John Wayne’s sheriff, Dean
Martin’s broken-hearted drunk and Ricky Nelson’s
young gun take on a town as they hole up with a nasty
murderer, much to the anger of his gun-toting cohorts.
With commentary from horror maverick John Carpenter
heading a cache of extras, the film’s explosive final shootout showcases
Warner Bros.’ transfer abilities, which, although only just galloping behind The
Searchers’ superb treatment, comes up a bullet-riddled and flaming treat in HD. |
