Details

• Plot: Auteur director Oscar 'Budd' Boetticher, Jr. lived a life more amazing than any movie. Few films have been more eagerly-awaited on DVD than the spare, adult westerns he made at Columbia in the late 1950s, all starring Randolph Scott, most written by future director Burt Kennedy, and co-starring such outstanding actors as James Coburn (in his film debut), Richard Boone, Maureen O'Sullivan, Pernell Roberts and Lee Van Cleef. This extraordinary collection features introductions and commentary by Clint Eastwood, Taylor Hackford and Martin Scorsese, as well as a feature-length documentary A MAN CAN DO THAT, executive produced by Clint Eastwood. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and The Film Foundation are honored to present this newly remastered set, an absolutely essential collection.; ; THE TALL T (1957)—When he and a pair of newlyweds are kidnapped by bandits, Randolph Scott must use his wiles to keep them all alive while quietly turning the gunmen against each other. Richard Boone, Maureen O'Sullivan and Henry Silva co-star, adapted by Burt Kennedy from a story by Elmore Leonard (3:10 To Yuma).; ; DECISION AT SUNDOWN (1957)—Randolph Scott rides into the town of Sundown determined to kill the man he believes responsible for his wife's death–but things don't go exactly as he planned. With John Carroll, Valerie French, Noah Beery Jr. and Karen Steele; photographed by two-time Oscar®-winner Burnett Guffey (Best Cinematography, From Here to Eternity, 1953 and Bonnie and Clyde, 1967).; ; BUCHANAN RIDES ALONE (1958)—In a change of pace, light-hearted entry, Scott finds himself in an incredibly corrupt border town and ends up in the middle of a blood feud between both sides of the family—neither of which trusts him! With Craig Stevens, Barry Kelley, Peter Whitney and L.Q. Jones; photographed by the legendary Lucien Ballard (The Wild Bunch).; ; RIDE LONESOME (1959)—The first of a series in CinemaScope has Scott as a bounty hunter bringing a killer to justice–bedeviled by outlaws who want the reward themselves, the killer's brother who wants to rescue him, and Indians attacking at every turn. Also starring Karen Steele, JAme Coburn (in his first film), a pre-'Bonanza' Pernell Roberts and Lee Van Cleef.; ; COMANCHE STATION (1960)—The last of the series (also in CinemaScope) is an odyssey with Scott as a loner who makes a trade with Indians for a white woman they've kidnapped, but getting her home is not going to be easy.
