a long-awaited release of one of the sixties finest westerns. it shows charlton hestons ability to easily change from historic roles to the american post civil war era.it contains everything that makes a good western - a powerful story line with great action pieces, excellent casting - and nobody could direct a western like sam peckinpah. enjoy!

this full edition is a must for western fans,the shortened version did the film no favours and was very disjointed. i had been after the full version for some time and found it abroad last year. heston made plenty classic films and this is one,a rousing music score and super ending. get it.
