Ride the High Country - BluRay [Blu-ray]

In this brilliant, moving film directed by Sam Peckinpah (The Wild Bunch), cowboy icons Randolph Scott and Joel McCrea find roles to match their leathery Western personas, playing aging lawmen hired to guard a gold shipment. They don't have much a horse each, a couple of dollars. And they have everything their independence. But the frontier is disappearing - and so is space wide open enough for independent men. With luck, the two will find space enough for this ride and one last payday. They will also find adventure, including the dramatic rescue of a mistreated bride (Mariette Hartley), gun-blazing shootouts and a life-changing betrayal. Both an exciting Western and a heart-lifting homage to the genre, Ride the High Country is a journey into film greatness.

Four Academy Awards, including Gary Cooper's second Best Actor Oscar, went to director Fred Zinnemann's landmark western drama. Cooper shines as Will Kane, a recently married frontier marshal on the verge of retirement. But Kane finds he must stand alone when he learns a ruthless outlaw (Ian MacDonald) he once sent to jail is coming town looking for revenge. Grace Kelly co-stars as Kane's new Quaker wife; with Lloyd Bridges, Katy Jurado, Thomas Mitchell. 85 min. Standard; Soundtrack English; Subtitles English. Region Free
