This should be released in Cinemascope


I found a copy of this on VHS from the 90s. I think it should be released in DVD. I bought this because I'm a big James Darren fan. I did find him a little miscast as a cowboy. In the opening sequence he seems a little unsure although later in the movie when he's in conflict with Tab Hunter or with Van Heflin he does fine. It would be interesting to have seen him cast in the Tab Hunter role. I'd like to see it in Cinemascope (letterbox) format.

I have a dvd of this film, but it is an import from Spain. I had to use the 5:4 aspect ratio to view the dvd properly, otherwise the screen is too long and narrow.

I also have the DVD from Spain, as I have an all-region DVD player. The CinemaScope seems to be closer to 2.55:1, rather than 2.35:1, as it is very wide compared to height. But it's much better than the VHS pan-and-scan version, and the price wasn't bad.
