Directed by Budd Boetticher
USA 1969
The final western from one of the genre’s greatest directors, Budd Boetticher (Ride
Lonesome), and the last screen appearance of war hero-turned-movie star
Audie Murphy (To
Hell and Back), A Time for Dying is an offbeat, elegiac look at
the Old West, prefiguring Don Siegel’s classic western, and John Wayne’s final
picture,
The Shootist. *** Cass Bunning, a farm boy with a talent for shooting, meets up with Nellie, a naive woman from the East, who has been lured West by the promise of a waitressing job which turns out to be in a brothel. |

On their
Blu-ray,
Indicator use a linear PCM mono track (24-bit) in the
original English language. A Time for Dying
is a western and, hence, has aggressive scenes (gunfire) that come through with modest depth.
There is an interesting score by Harry Betts (Black
Mama White Mama), that seems less suitable for a western but
adds to the film unusual-ness. Indicator offer optional English
subtitles on their Region FREE
Blu-ray.

Budd Boetticher's A Time for Dying
is an odd duck to be sure. I think the commentary mentions that the director stated
that it wasn't supposed to be made. It had a small budget and the odd
resemblance of lead Richard Lapp to Audie Murphy, plus a very surprising
ending. Minor characterizations for both Judge Roy Bean and Jesse James
add to its curious appeal. I'm always keen to see Boetticher's work - even this
1/14 hour effort and I only wish there was more of Audie. Western fans
should be keen to this is unexpected genre film. Indicator have done another strong Blu-ray
