The Big Gundown (Limited Edition) Blu Ray

| Blu Ray

Released the same year as Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Sergio Corbucci's Django, The Big Gundown (La resa di conti) is a classic spaghetti western. Directed by the great Sergio Sollima (Face to Face, Violent City) this brutal film elevated western regualr Lee Van Cleef (Ride Lonesome) to his first ever starring role. When bounty hunter Jonathan Corbett (Van Cleef) is hired to track down a Mexican peasant (Tomas Milian, in a career-defining role) who has been accused of an appalling crime, he is initially outwitted by the wily bandit. However,... the relationshion between the two men soon takes an unexpected turn and they team up to take on railroad baron Brockston (Walter Barnes). With its rousing score by legendary composer Ennio Morricone, and its politically charged screenplay by Sergio Donati (Once Upon a Time in the West) and Franco Solinas (The Battle of Algiers), The Big Gundown has earned its reputation as one of the greatest and most influential Italian westerns. This individually numbered Limited Edition includes three versions of the film - the US theatrical cut, the extended US cut, and the original 110-minute Italian version - along with a fascinating selection of new and archival extra features, a poster, and an 80-page book.
