Director John Sturges (The Magnificent Seven, Bad Day At Black
Rock, Gunfight At The O.K. Corral) turns the legends of the west
upside-down in this rip-roaring western comedy about the year
Denver was nearly devastated by a drought – of whiskey –
and had to have forty wagonloads imported through very harsh –
and very thirsty – territory!
Academy Award winners Burt Lancaster and Martin Landau team with
Oscar nominee Lee Remick in this beautifully filmed epic adventure
which "wins both laughs and thrills" (The Hollywood
Reporter )! Also starring Jim Hutton, Brian Keith and Donald Pleasence,
this irreverent and literally dry look at frontier life is "possibly
the funniest western ever made" (Los Angeles Times)!
Elmer Bernstein’s score is a classic. Enormous in scope,
this music is as big as the whole outdoors. Sweeping, exciting
and a whole lot of fun, this legend of the west really came out
firing for this 1965 satire.
Much as we would love to be offering a deluxe and expanded edition
of this wonderful score, it’s just not in the cards for
this one. The only known set of masters, beyond the original LP
master used here, was irreparably damaged over a decade ago.
