The Big Country [Blu-ray] [1958]

This 1958 western has a top notch cast, with surprising reverse roles for Charlton Heston, Burl Ives and Chuck Connors, who usually are considered heroes rather than villains. The plot is centered around water rights feuds among ranchers. The hero, Gregory Peck, who is from the big city, doesn't believe in violence, and is labeled a coward. The women, Carroll Baker and Jean Simmons, find themselves involved in his on again off again romances. Who will ultimately prevail and solve the feud is spelled out over this 170 minute epic.
