Hang 'Em High [Blu-ray] [1968]

Bought this Blu Ray to replace my old DVD version. The transfer to Blu Ray is disappointing and inconsistent. Some scenes are clean and sharp but long shots were poor. The soundtrack was stereo which is an improvement from the DVD version.

Firstly, I got the MGM vanilla disc. The transfer is very good quality with some very crisp close ups. Some 2nd unit wide shots were very poor to begin with so not much can be done to improve those. So for anyone who likes the movie, this is a good version to get.Secondly, the movie itself is very uneven in tone but worth seeing if you are a Clint fan. There is some interesting sub text about how just the law is, but it is notfully explored. Stella Stevens is ineffective in an unecessary sub-plot which is made cringe-worthy because of some awful 70's romantic music. The action sequences are poorly staged and the film only gets by on Clint's charisma and some good supporting actors, including Ben Johnson, Bruce Dern and Ed Begley

Fantastic cast of the best supporting actors of the day and brilliant music throughout by the great Dominic Frontiere.

Not one of Clints best Westerns, but a decent movie nevertheless. Pat Hingle puts in a very good preformance as Judge Fenton.

The film itself is as good as ever, but not worth the upgrade from DVD to Blu Ray. Very little to no restoration has been done to justify the film’s release on Blu Ray. Mainly just as grainy as the original...

Good western but kind of looks like a tv movie to me. Clint is great as usual.

VERY GOOD DVD THANK YOU BRIAN

Great dvd is so clear
