Never Come Between A Gun And Its Target... When Sergio Leone turned Lee Van Cleef into a major star with For a Few Dollars More and The Good the Bad and the Ugly the actor sensibly stayed in Italy to make several more spaghetti westerns including this one from Leone's former assistant Tonino Valerii that genre aficionados (including Quentin Tarantino) rank amongst the best ever made. Giuliano Gemma plays street cleaner Scott Mary relentlessly bullied by the people of the small town of Clifton. When legendarily ruthless master gunfighter Frank Talby (Van Cleef) rides into town Scott seizes the opportunity to lift himself out of the gutter and possibly even surpass Talby's own skills. But what is Talby doing in Clifton in the first place? This lively intelligent western notable for the chemistry between its charismatic leads some memorable action set-pieces (including a rifle duel on horseback that has to be seen to be believed) and a jazzy Riz Ortolani score is presented here in an exclusive high-definition restoration from the original Techniscope negative.

Howard Hughes with the assistance of Howard Hawks directed this racy version of the Pat Garrett vs Billy The Kid story. The publicity campaign surrounding the film's release was a masterpiece. Armed with stills of 19-year-old Jane Russell revealing a remarkable dcolletage (while stopping to pick up a pair of milk pails!) producer/director Howard Hughes spent tens of thousands of dollars purposely to agitate the censors and arouse public indignation. He released the film independently in San Francisco in 1943 after United Artists refused to distribute it; it was quickly closed down by civic groups. Meanwhile legendary publicist Russell Birdwell leased thousands of billboards from coast to coast for three years plastering a suggestive photo of the scantily clad Russell reclining on a bed of hay gun in hand. By 1946 when Hughes finally re-released the film audiences flocked to theatres: Jane Russell was now a Hollywood star and you can see why!

Vincente Minnelli directs bringing his uncanny skill with color and design to this joyous romp set to Cole Porter tunes.
