The Eureka! blu ray release of this is beautiful. What they were doing with fog back in the day was a magical thing.
Also there are so so many frames in here that would serve as a great background image and like none of them are available to use. Boo 👎

This movie is just a western that isn't a western. The setpieces are fantastic but also just constantly scream, "WE'RE A WESTERN"

tony curtis in that leather mini-dress is distracting me from the historical nonsense. sometimes a film is only high rated because it’s old. “stay here and draw maps. i will go and kidnap the girl.”
