 Hang 'Em High (DVD) ... ... / DVD released 12 June, 2000 at MGM Entertainment / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, Dubbed, PAL / After starring in the now-legendary Dollars 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, LQ 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, Amazon.comNewest Review: ... few extras included such as a Making Of The Movie Trailer, Original Theatrical Trailer, Interactive Menu and Chapter Access. ... more ... I have to be honest and say that I very rarely watch special features, preferring to view the movie and draw my own conclusions. I find too much in the way of technical explanations sometimes spoils the film for me. As I didn't view any of the special features, I cannot comment on them!

Review of "Hang 'em High", a DVD starring Clint Eastwood. This DVD is not my usual cup of tea, I'm not a particular fan of either westerns or Clint Eastwood, but on a wet afternoon recently, we decided to pass away a few hours watching movies and this DVD had been loitering in the back of the cupboard unwatched for ages. ==The DVD== The DVD is one of the first 'Spaghetti Westerns' actually filmed in America. The film was also instrumental in bringing Mr Eastwood into the public eye, being one of his earlier movies. The actual movie was released back in 1968 by United Artists and in my opinion has stood the test of ... Read the complete review

As the movie title suggests, this film is about hanging - and hanging more than one person. This brutal movie, set in 1889 elvoves around ex-lawman Jed Cooper (Clint Eastwood) which in the opening scene, gets star chamber justice from a linch mob and is hung for cattle rustling. Cut down by a Fort Grande Marshal, Coopers's Story checks out and is employed as a Marshal and that ends my comments on the film storyline, not wanting to give anything away. As is typical in an Eastwood movie, there are some wonderful one-liners and some familular faces from some of other Eastwood flicks appear (if memory serves, this was the first movie from his own movie firm ...
