Genre
fans tend to dislike this low-budget western, but I have an irrational
fondness for it... probably because it was purchased for the princely
sum of one dollar. Early in the DVD revolution, when
players and movies had become more wallet friendly for the average
consumer, there also came the glut of "dollar DVDs", usually featuring public domain movies, cartoons or vintage TV shows. They often came in no-frills packaging, usually nothing more than a thin cardboard sleeve that was glued shut on one
side, and one had to carefully pry them open so not to scratch the disk
inside. And of course, the movies were in bare bones presentations: zero
effort put into remastering, no extras, and sometimes they didn't even
bother with chapter stops! Well? What did you expect for a buck?
Criterion?Movies under the radar and far from the multiplexes: rescued from dusty video store shelves and beyond!
