Ranown Westerns: Five Films Directed by Budd Boetticher 4K UHD/BLU-RAY

Author: Budd BoetticherBrand: Criterion CollectionFeatures: <ul><li>Criterion Collection</li></ul>Binding: Blu-rayFormat: 4KRelease Date: 18-07-2023Details: The five briskly entertaining, vividly performed westerns made by director Budd Boetticher and strapping star Randolph Scott in the second half of the 1950s transcend their B-movie origins to become rich, unexpectedly profound explorations of loyalty, greed, honor, and revenge. Often grouped under the name Ranown (after producer Harry Joe Brown and Scott&rsquo;s production company) and colorfully scripted by Burt Kennedy and Charles Lang, these films seem to unfold in a world unto themselves, staking a claim between traditional westerns and the subversive genre revisionism of the 1960s&mdash;and representing the crowning achievement of the underappreciated auteur Boetticher. SIX-DISC 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES &bull; New 4K digital restorations by Sony Pictures Entertainment, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks &bull; Three 4K UHD discs of the films presented in Dolby Vision HDR and three Blu-rays with the films and special features &bull; Introductions to the films by filmmakers Martin Scorsese and Taylor Hackford &bull; New introduction by film critic Farran Smith Nehme on actor Randolph Scott &bull; Three audio commentaries, featuring film scholar Jeanine Basinger on The Tall T, film critic Jeremy Arnold on Ride Lonesome, and Hackford on Comanche Station &bull; Archival programs featuring interviews with director Budd Boetticher &bull; Audio conversation with Boetticher and film scholar Jim Kitses &bull; Super 8 home-movie version of Comanche Station &bull; Trailers &bull; English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing &bull; PLUS: An essay by film scholar Tom Gunning THE TALL T Based on a story by Elmore Leonard, this collaboration between director Budd Boetticher, actor Randolph Scott, and screenwriter Burt Kennedy is a model of elegantly economical storytelling charged with psychological tension. Here, Scott is the easygoing rancher who, along with the newlywed daughter (Maureen O&rsquo;Sullivan) of a wealthy mining baron, must use his wits to stay alive when he is taken hostage by a band of ruthless stagecoach robbers. He is memorably matched by Richard Boone&rsquo;s dangerously charming, nearly sympathetic villain in a performance that exemplifies the fine moral shading that distinguishes the Ranown westerns. DECISION AT SUNDOWN Randolph Scott boldly subverts his upstanding image in this stark, often startlingly bleak tale of revenge and a man&rsquo;s misguided quest for redemption. He plays the mysterious stranger who, consumed by hatred for the man he blames for his wife&rsquo;s suicide, rides into the corrupt town of Sundown hell-bent on vengeance. There, both he and the townspeople face a reckoning that forces them to confront disturbing truths about themselves. All but annihilating the myth of the righteous western hero, Decision at Sundown edges the Ranown films into increasingly dark, despairing territory. BUCHANAN RIDES ALONE Welcome to Agry Town, a corrupt border outpost presided over by a pair of rival brothers whose bottomless greed corrupts everything in their orbit.

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls DVD

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls DVD - In Russ Meyer's BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, all-girl rock band the Kelly Affair moves to Los Angeles in pursuit of fame and fortune. Upon meeting wealthy rock scenester Ronnie "Z-Man" Barzell (John Lazar) at one of his lavish parties, they believe they've met the man who can bring them fame. Changing their name to the Carrie Nations, they navigate their way through a maze of sexual misadventures, drugs, and brushes with some very unpleasant characters only to find that fame comes at a price. Livening up the considerably frantic proceedings are Meyer starlets Edy Williams and Erica Gavin (VIXEN), as well as an appearance by the Strawberry Alarm Clock. Finally invited to work within a major studio (20th Century Fox) following the enormous success of 1968's VIXEN, Meyer, along with screenwriter Roger Ebert, created the ultimate sex, drugs, and rock & roll film of the psychedelic era. An altogether odd mixture of comedy, drama, and left-field shocks punctuated with memorably wacky lines, BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS lets Meyer's reliably decadent formula mingle agreeably with the psychedelia of the time.
