S E A R C H D V D B e a v e r |
directed by
Michael Winner
USA 1971
During a drunken spree in the small Wild West town of Bannock, one of a half-dozen workers from a nearby ranch accidentally shoots an innocent man. Bannock's marshal, a righteous man named Jered Maddox (Burt Lancaster), comes to the larger town of Sabbath bearing the dead body of one of the revelers and demands the surrender of the remaining five from sheriff Cotton Ryan (Robert Ryan) and ranch owner Vincent Bronson (Lee J. Cobb), starting a confrontation that threatens to engulf them all. ...
[...] For trivia collectors: Robert Duvall appeared in Lawman one year before The Godfather. Also look for Joseph Wiseman (he played James Bond's nemesis in Dr. No, 1962) in the supporting cast. Lawman is actually a remake of the 1955 Western, Man With the Gun which starred Robert Mitchum. |

NOTE: The below Blu-ray captures were taken directly from the Blu-ray disc. ADDITION: Twilight Time - Region FREE Blu-ray September 2017': Twilight Time's new Blu-ray has some superiority in comparison to the German 1080P . It has a 50% higher bitrate and it doesn't have the same frame-jitter that is noticeable on the German Blu-ray. They both export some nice grain textures and colors are generally supported well. They are both in the 1.85:1 aspect ratio but the Twilight Time nudges ahead in-motion looking more stable. I don't think the Medien Blu-ray is poor - the Twilight Time is just superior.DTS-HD Master 2.0 channel (24-bit) is also a more robust transfer than the Medien Blu-ray which is only 16-bit. There are plenty of western genre-related effect sounds from horses to gunshots. Jerry Fielding's (Scorpio - also with Lancaster and also directed by Winner, The Wild Bunch, Straw Dogs, The Killer Elite, The Mechanic, Kolchak: The Night Stalker and The Getaway) score sounds excellent on the Twilight Time which is available in an isolated track option. The Region 'B'-locked Medien has an optional German DUB and no subtitle options while the Twilight Time has optional English (SDH) subtitles and the Blu-ray disc is Region FREE. The Medien Blu-ray opens with three, unrelated, German-language trailers and beyond that it has no extras. The Twilight Time has a trailer along with the isolated score option and the package has liner notes with essay by Julie Kirgo. It is limited to 3,000 units. The Medien is certainly decent and very watchable, the Twilight Time nudges ahead. This is a violent western with a great cast - Burt Lancaster, Robert Ryan, Lee J. Cobb, Robert Duvall, Sheree North, Ralph Waite, J.D. Cannon, John Hillerman, Joseph Wiseman, Wilford Brimley and many more. Fans of the genre will love this retelling of 1955's Man With the Gun starring Robert Mitchum. Both films deserve a place in our Top 100 Westerns on Blu-ray list. Absolutely recommended! |
