Resuming his career after WW2, George Stevens assumed the mantle of Hollywood’s most serious producer-director. His ‘super-western’ is a beautiful piece of filmmaking with an optimistic view of American virtues in conflict. It’s a visual delight, and a genre throwback to unrealistic fights and a hero who may as well be the god of Pioneer justice. Alan Ladd, Van Heflin and Jean Arthur star, and Jack Palance makes a huge impact as a slimy villain. Kino got the nod to debut the show in 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray, with a transfer that accurately translates its glowing 3-strip Technicolor hues. From KL Studio Classics.
