Product Description:
CLINT EASTWOOD RETURNED TO WESTERNS AS A MYSTERIOUS LONER WHO RIDES INTO A BITTER FEUD BETWEEN PROSPECTORS AND A MINING CONGLOMERATE.
Amazon.com essential video:
After a nine-year break from the genre that made him an international star (the Western just before this one was The Outlaw Josey Wales, from 1976), Clint Eastwood returned in this gritty Western, crafted in the tradition of Shane and High Noon. Eastwood directed and stars as the nameless stranger known only as "Preacher," because he rides into a beleaguered mining town wearing a clerical collar. He's either an agent of death or an angel of mercy, and the echoes of Shane ring loud and clear when he comes to the aid of independent miners who are being terrorized by a local tycoon (Richard Dysart) and his ruthless band of hired guns. Befriended by a miner (Michael Moriarty) and idolized by the miner's wife and daughter (played by Carrie Snodgress and Sydney Penny, respectively), the "Pale Rider" sparks the defiant spirit of the underdog miners and takes after the bad guys with single-minded purpose. --Jeff Shannon

Coy LaHood (played by Richard Dysart) is a man unused to people standing in his way. He is a successful hydraulic-miner, and he is going to blast a small community of pan-miners out of his way.

This is another one of Clint Eastwood's great Westerns, one ... Read More

Every few years since the early 1970s it seems we get a year when the "rebirth of the western" is touted, because of one or two films that are seen as somehow predictive of a return to glory - either through good box-office, awards, or both. Somehow it's never quite really happened, despite "Dances With Wolves" and "Unforgiven" both being huge box-office hits and Best Picture winners in the early 90s, and neo-western "No Country for Old Men" repeating in 2007. Ah well, the western will probably never ... Read More

Very, very poor HD transfer - save your money and make warner Brothers do this one right. The new BluRay release has poor picture quality. Buying this one for $10 does not justify a poor transfer. The 20 - 25% of this film that takes place in a brighter sky does look very nice. But a dominant amount of the film reveals poor black levels, look at the far right side of your screen - throughout the film. Even visible to some degree in the brighter scenes. The story is a classic, but hang on to your DVD for ... Read More
