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 iRawhide/i. 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. iHang 'Em High/i 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 iDirty Harry/i, 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. i--Jeff Shannon/i

Hung at high noon! June 20, 2004
SK (Michigan, USA)
Clint Eastwood's movie, Hang 'em High, is very interesting and dramatic. The plot of this movie was predictable but that is quiet alright. The producer and director probably wanted to convey some other message and hence a standard plot was chosen.pClint Eastwood is a rancher who is strung up at high noon by a bunch of thugs from a nearby town. They accuse him of murder and theft of cattle. Eastwood however does not die. A US Marshall recues him and brings him to the judge for trial. Judge aquitts Eastwood. pIt so happens that Eastwood was a ex-lawman and judge appoints him as a Marshall. Then begins the story of revenge and justice as Eastwood hunts down the vigilante mob that tried to hang him. pThere are many interesting questions raised in the movie. What is the relationship between Revenge and Justice? How should justice be dealt out? It is a thought-provoking movie although it has somewhat banal action scenes. Regardless, it's a movie worth your money.
 "When you hang a man, You better look at him!!!!! March 23, 2004
Hang'em High is one of my favorite westerns. Clint Eastwood is awsome in the role of Jed Cooper, a cowboy who is mistaken for a rustler and gets hanged. After being rescued by a sherriff and given a job as a lawman, Cooper seeks revenge on the 9 men who hung him. br Hang'em High is a good'ol western that's packed with great actors, like Alan Hale Jr. (Giligan's Island) Ed Begley. L.Q. Jones, Dennis Hopper, and in a brief role as a preacher, James MacArthur(Hawaii Five-O), and Bob Steele, in the role as a prison inmate. If you like westerns with Clint Eastwood, give Hang'em High a try.
Strong Eastwood Follow-up To the Spaghetti Western Trilogy February 24, 2004
Tuvan Uner (Virginia,United States)
I watched this one after seeing the classic spaghetti Eastwood films a few weeks back(A Fistfull Of Dollars,For A Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad And The Ugly). Well it didnt dissapoint. Eastwood plays Jed Cooper, a former lawman who becomes a cattle rancher only to be mistaken for a cattle thief and hung by 9 vigilante goons. I dont want to ruin it for you but he basically agrees to become a Federal Marshall and proceeds in administering Justice his way. He clashes with the Territorial judge(played by Pat Hingle) who is his supervisor and their conflict on how justice is administered is the main focal point of the film. A truly classic Eastwood western. My only complaint was the poor clean-up of picture quality in certain scenes. Other than that extremely watchable.
 Certainly not a fistful of dollars January 30, 2004
Boring and predictable. A let-down after the trilogy and the High Plains Drifter.
Clint is the man.. January 28, 2004
