Product Description

Product Description

Classic Clint Eastwood western. The unwelcome arrival of a stranger (Eastwood) in the town of Lagos causes resentment and fear among the locals. However, when they come under threat from a band of escaped convicts, it is to the stranger that the townsfolk turn for salvation. He agrees to help, and sets about teaching the populace the arts of self defence.

From Amazon.co.uk

Clint Eastwood's second film as a director (and his first Western) is a variation on the "man with no name" theme, starring Eastwood as the drifter known only as "the Stranger". He rides into the desert town of Lagos and is quickly attacked by three gunmen. Recovering with the aid of a local dwarf (a memorable role for Billy Curtis), the Stranger is hired by the intimidated townsfolk to fend off a band of violent ex-convicts. After teaching the citizens self-defence and instructing them to paint the entire town red and rename it "Hell", the Stranger vanishes. He reappears when the marauding criminals arrive, and delivers justice and teaches the townsfolk a harsh lesson about moral obligation. Is he a figure from their past or a kind of supernatural avenger? Combining humour with action, High Plains Drifter is both a serious and tongue-in-cheek tribute to the Westerns that made Eastwood a household name. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

5.0 out of 5 starsClassic comes to HD
By S. R. Williams on 16 Sept. 2013
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
I have always had a weak spot for westerns and love the westerns of Clint Eastwood and as such this has always been a favourite of mine, the sub text of the supernatural setting (is he the ghost of the slain marshal or his brother) would be worked into his later work (Pale Rider)to better effect.
I am watching this while typing and I can honestly say I am very very impressed, you can see this has been remastered and not just upscaled ala Two Mules or Joe Kidd (both of which are a vast improvement over their DVD counterparts) the picture is as sharp as you would expect, the colour vibrant, the scenes set at night stand out and are pin sharp (a problem with DVDs and some Blu Rays) the sound has been remastered into 5.1, which does sound clearer than before but doesn't make any real use of the back speakers so do not buy this expecting your cinema surround system to get a work out as it will not.
what you are buying this for is the vastly improved picture quality and this delivers on all counts.
For a product being labelled as a 40th anniversary edition you will be a little disappointed with the extras, or rather the lack there off. This edition has a solitary trailer. I would like more Clint Eastwood movies to come with some outstanding extras or even a retrospective documentary or two but to be honest they have always been a little lacking in that department but as I want my movies on the best ever format with the best possible picture and sound I am more than happy with this release. I am not going to review this movie what is the point High Plains Drifter has been out there for 40 years so you would have seen it in one format or the other.
The only real question being is this worth getting again and I have to give a resounding yes put your hand in your pocket replace your old DVD or VHS you will not be disappointed, enjoy I am.

4.0 out of 5 starspainting the town red!
By Stanley Crowe TOP 500 REVIEWER on 14 July 2015
Format: DVD
I'll try to avoid spoilers here, because this movie is 40+ years old, and it's possible that a lot of folks haven't seen it. I recommend it -- it's an entertaining and unusual movie. John Wayne supposedly disliked it -- the West wasn't like that, he said. He's both right and wrong. This isn't realism -- it might come close to magical realism in visual terms, but it's probably better to see it as a pretty simple moral allegory. The issue, as I see it, is justice, and in the West, justice can't always be guaranteed by the ostensible guardians of the law. In fact, as this movie goes on, we come to realize that the action of the movie derives from a failure of the law to be supported by the very citizens that want its protection. To put it bluntly, bad things happen, and the citizens of Lago do nothing to stop them. SO -- where is justice to come from, and on whom should it be visited? Who has the authority to administer it? The answer is -- Clint Eastwood, as the un-named stranger who rides into town to find the citizenry facing a moral dilemma that results from their own collusion in earlier bad things. Basically -- this isn't giving too much away -- they made certain people take the fall for deeds that they were guilty of but which the citizenry also colluded in. Now the guys who took the fall are getting out of the territorial pen, and the citizenry is worried that they will come to Lago looking for payback -- and, as we soon learn, that just what these malefactors have in mind.

The stranger early proves himself handy with a gun, so the townspeople employ him to protect them. If you're thinking "samurai," you would be wrong. The stranger's ideas about protection and how the citizens should contribute to it are unusual, to say the least.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsEastwood Takes The Reins
By Keith M TOP 500 REVIEWER on 27 April 2015
Format: Blu-ray
It was perhaps not surprising that, having initially resisted the 'pull of the western’ with his impressive 1971 directorial debut, Play Misty For Me, Clint Eastwood’s second 'stint in the chair’ produced this archetypal 1973 film from the man’s (hitherto) trademark genre. In fact, the opening of High Plains Drifter, as Eastwood’s 'Stranger’ emerges from the heat haze before riding through a graveyard, appears to be a direct homage to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, as (of course) does his characterisation – a bearded, cigar-chomping, anonymous 'mystery man’ from the past. The film’s look and feel is also (particularly early on) 'Leone-esque’ – including an up-front sound design (clinking spurs, howling wind, etc) and lingering close-ups – although, overall, Eastwood’s film (unsurprisingly) does not quite match the idiosyncratic detail (and brilliance) of the Italian film-maker’s finest work (probably most significantly, there’s no Morricone soundtrack, of course).

There is, however, an unusual (and intriguing) sense of ambiguity in the film’s plot – itself showing its Kurosawa/Magnificent Seven roots – as, although the Stranger is (in trademark fashion) enlisted to provide the firepower necessary to defeat an imprisoned gang of 'soon-to-be-released’ ne’er-do-wells, the town in question, Lago (and its associated shady mining business), has its own guilty past which prompts ambivalence in (and raises questions about the identity of) the interloper.Read more ›
