DVD is calling
Why again is a brilliant classic film being denied the world of DVD....the film is ran quite often on Turner Classic Movies in its original aspect ratio of 2:35 to 1 and it has a stereo soundtrack as well....but it would a world better on DVD especially in 16x9 enhanced for widescreen tvs...It is an off-beat spaghetti western for the fact of the time period being in the area of 1747 so not a lot of carbine sounding weapons that is typical with spaghetti westerns and Italian films in general...Perhaps TCM will have another viewers contest to vote on their favorite TCM films to be released on dvd and this be one of them.....also it has one of the best soundtracks ever courtesy of the Maestro himself Ennio Morricone, the film could be considered a religious film as well, since it covers religion in a realistic fashion, the pros and definately the cons of organized religion and the dependance on God to do everything for you when it is pointed out that God is in ourselves to provide and do for ourselves..
