Two Mules For Sister Sara
ASIN: 6304698801
Release Date: 1997-11-19 |
Amazon.com
After starring in the now-legendary trilogy of spaghetti Westerns for Italian director Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood became a box-office star and imported the style of those classic shoot-'em-ups for this 1967 Western directed by Ted Post, with whom Eastwood had worked during their days on the television series Rawhide. Eastwood plays an innocent rancher who is mistaken for a cattle rustler and sentenced to hang by an angry mob. When he is saved from the noose by a passing lawman, he embarks on a renegade campaign of vengeance against the men who attempted to lynch him. Hang 'Em High offers a number of memorable moments and stylistic flourishes, and features a superb supporting cast of Western veterans, including Ben Johnson, Ed Begley, Pat Hingle, Dennis Hopper, Bruce Dern, L.Q. Jones, and the "Skipper" himself, Alan Hale Jr. Made just three years before Dirty Harry, the film marked a turning point for Eastwood, who would soon move into a prolific period of contemporary thrillers. The digital video disc offers standard and widescreen formats and a remastered soundtrack. --Jeff Shannon
Description
They riddled him with bullets. They strung him up. They left him to die. But they made two fatal mistakes: they hanged the wrong man...and they didn't finish the job. In his first American-made western, Clint Eastwood indelibly carves his niche as the quintessential tough guycool-headed, iron-willed and unrelenting in his pursuit of revenge. Oklahoma, 1873. Jed Cooper (Eastwood), mistaken for a rustler and killer, is lynched on the spot by crooked lawman Captain Wilson (Ed Begley) and a rampaging band of vigilantes. But as Wilson and his gang flee the scene, there's one very important detail they've overlooked: Cooper is still alive! Out for justiceand vengeanceCooper takes on the job of deputy marshal...and, one by one, tracks down the nine men who "done him wrong."
Customer Reviews:
Eastwood's first Malpaso production. . ........2007-05-10
HANG 'EM HIGH was Clint Eastwood's first production for his Malpaso company, and his first American film after the spectacular successes of the Man With No Name films. It's a tight, well-written revenge western with a great supporting cast (which has been properly documented in other reviews). No extras to speak of on the DVD: just the trailer for the film, and you do have the option of watching in widescreen or fullscreen.
A very good western with just a few slow spots. HANG 'EM HIGH was written and co-produced by Leonard Freeman and Mel Goldberg, just before Freeman went into the production of his TV series HAWAII FIVE-O. When you watch the film, look carefully--there are a few plot threads left dangling. I won't spoil HANG 'EM HIGH for you if you've never seen it before, but upon recent re-viewing, I swear that it's an unsold TV pilot, retooled for feature production. Now, that doesn't mean that the film is below par: it just has the feel and pacing of a two-hour television opener.
A fine addition to any Eastwood collection, HANG 'EM HIGH is a keeper.
Clint Eastwood - Hang 'em High movie DVD.......2007-04-12
A Must have for all Clint Eastwood's classic spaghetti western fans.
a should-be-better western fell flat by a deteriorated screenplay.......2007-04-06
it was when the mass hanging scene was stupidly inserted two , not just one, long church hymns, with a cardboard-like preacher on the gallows to conduct the crowd to sing them, and a condemned-by-hanging rapist kept monologuing about 10 minuntes to synchronize those two hymns, this movie was beginning to fall flat miserably.
the other ridiculous and illogic part was when the marshal escorted the two young rustlers and that murderer back to where the hanging judge resided, why he suddenly had to take a route across a vast desert instead of going back by the original path where the posse came from? there's no way and no excuse to make such stupid arrangement simply just because the director and the screenplay writers wanted to show how difficult and tough the marshal got to do a heroic dead-man-walking mission, then turned himself out for the next lame a-hero-was-born scene.
there were wonderful moments of this film, but it started to drag along and lag behind gradually. it often gave you an impression that both the screen writers and the director didn't have a clue how to make this movie going, they could only asked clint eastwood, the marshal, to do lot of unnecessary hollow scenes.
Individual vs. Collective Crime and Punishment.......2007-03-17
Clint Eastwood's 1967 debut in an American western after successfully starring in Sergio Leone's internationally reknown trilogy of westerns that made him a star.
The screenplay is a more sober portrayal of the western genre without the surreal motifs portrayed by Leone. The film follows Eastwood's character who was wrongly accused of being a cattle rustler and lynched by mob of thugs. Out for revenge, Eastwood nevertheless wants to do it by the law and is deputized as a marshall by a judge who needs new necks to hang from his gallows to give his town the semblance of order. Accepting the assignment, Eastwood's character tracks down his past attackers one by one. Eastwood's character also seeks the affections of a woman who seeks revenge against those who raped her and murdered her husband.
This is a good western in which the characters and their motivations are well developed. As one reviewer mentioned, this film explores the concepts of personal vs. collective retribution against past wrongs and the personal conflicts they entail. The story explores the notions of what is crime and what is proper punishment. It explores how barbarism and lawlessness are treated where legal instututions are lacking and span as far as the boundaries of a small frontier town. It looks at how rampant crime and the absence of law generate both a sense of injustice and an overzealous desire for retribution. The film also explores the consequences of crimes committed by groups in which the perpetrators differ by intent and degree in their participation. Who is really more to blame? The only down side to this film is that the ending is somewhat abrupt and rather empty in light of the climax of the story. Otherwise, this is a good film worth owning or renting.
Awesome Eastwood.......2007-01-19
Not the best Eastwood film I've seen, but it still is a pleasure to watch. Eastwood is the best western actor that I've seen and he doesn't disappoint here.

When you watch the film, look carefully--there are a few plot threads left dangling. I won't spoil HANG 'EM HIGH for you if you've never seen it before, but upon recent re-viewing, I swear that it's an unsold TV pilot, retooled for feature production.

Clint Eastwood - Hang 'em High movie DVD.......2007-04-12
A Must have for all Clint Eastwood's classic spaghetti western fans.
a should-be-better western fell flat by a deteriorated screenplay.......2007-04-06
it was when the mass hanging scene was stupidly inserted two , not just one, long church hymns, with a cardboard-like preacher on the gallows to conduct the crowd to sing them, and a condemned-by-hanging rapist kept monologuing about 10 minuntes to synchronize those two hymns, this movie was beginning to fall flat miserably.
the other ridiculous and illogic part was when the marshal escorted the two young rustlers and that murderer back to where the hanging judge resided, why he suddenly had to take a route across a vast desert instead of going back by the original path where the posse came from? there's no way and no excuse to make such stupid arrangement simply just because the director and the screenplay writers wanted to show how difficult and tough the marshal got to do a heroic dead-man-walking mission, then turned himself out for the next lame a-hero-was-born scene.
there were wonderful moments of this film, but it started to drag along and lag behind gradually. it often gave you an impression that both the screen writers and the director didn't have a clue how to make this movie going, they could only asked clint eastwood, the marshal, to do lot of unnecessary hollow scenes.
Individual vs. Collective Crime and Punishment.......2007-03-17
Clint Eastwood's 1967 debut in an American western after successfully starring in Sergio Leone's internationally reknown trilogy of westerns that made him a star.
The screenplay is a more sober portrayal of the western genre without the surreal motifs portrayed by Leone. The film follows Eastwood's character who was wrongly accused of being a cattle rustler and lynched by mob of thugs. Out for revenge, Eastwood nevertheless wants to do it by the law and is deputized as a marshall by a judge who needs new necks to hang from his gallows to give his town the semblance of order. Accepting the assignment, Eastwood's character tracks down his past attackers one by one. Eastwood's character also seeks the affections of a woman who seeks revenge against those who raped her and murdered her husband.
This is a good western in which the characters and their motivations are well developed. As one reviewer mentioned, this film explores the concepts of personal vs. collective retribution against past wrongs and the personal conflicts they entail. The story explores the notions of what is crime and what is proper punishment. It explores how barbarism and lawlessness are treated where legal instututions are lacking and span as far as the boundaries of a small frontier town. It looks at how rampant crime and the absence of law generate both a sense of injustice and an overzealous desire for retribution. The film also explores the consequences of crimes committed by groups in which the perpetrators differ by intent and degree in their participation. Who is really more to blame? The only down side to this film is that the ending is somewhat abrupt and rather empty in light of the climax of the story. Otherwise, this is a good film worth owning or renting.
Awesome Eastwood.......2007-01-19
Not the best Eastwood film I've seen, but it still is a pleasure to watch. Eastwood is the best western actor that I've seen and he doesn't disappoint here.

After starring in the now-legendary trilogy of spaghetti Westerns for Italian director Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood became a box-office star and imported the style of those classic shoot-'em-ups for this 1967 Western directed by Ted Post, with whom Eastwood had worked during their days on the television series Rawhide. Eastwood plays an innocent rancher who is mistaken for a cattle rustler and sentenced to hang by an angry mob. When he is saved from the noose by a passing lawman, he embarks on a renegade campaign of vengeance against the men who attempted to lynch him. Hang 'Em High offers a number of memorable moments and stylistic flourishes, and features a superb supporting cast of Western veterans, including Ben Johnson, Ed Begley, Pat Hingle, Dennis Hopper, Bruce Dern, L.Q. Jones, and the "Skipper" himself, Alan Hale Jr. Made just three years before Dirty Harry, the film marked a turning point for Eastwood, who would soon move into a prolific period of contemporary thrillers. --Jeff Shannon
Customer Reviews:
Eastwood's first Malpaso production. . ........2007-05-10
HANG 'EM HIGH was Clint Eastwood's first production for his Malpaso company, and his first American film after the spectacular successes of the Man With No Name films. It's a tight, well-written revenge western with a great supporting cast (which has been properly documented in other reviews). No extras to speak of on the DVD: just the trailer for the film, and you do have the option of watching in widescreen or fullscreen.
A very good western with just a few slow spots. HANG 'EM HIGH was written and co-produced by Leonard Freeman and Mel Goldberg, just before Freeman went into the production of his TV series HAWAII FIVE-O. When you watch the film, look carefully--there are a few plot threads left dangling. I won't spoil HANG 'EM HIGH for you if you've never seen it before, but upon recent re-viewing, I swear that it's an unsold TV pilot, retooled for feature production. Now, that doesn't mean that the film is below par: it just has the feel and pacing of a two-hour television opener.
