Hour of the Gun Blu-ray Review

A meat-and-potatoes western dealing with the extended aftermath of the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, John Sturges’ Hour of the Gun is a gritty, fairly humorless western, much more interested in presenting the reality of the Old West rather than a fantasy version of it.

Thanks for the review. My disc is on the way to me. I get the impression that I like this film a lot more than you do.

I'm very pleased that the images are presented in sharp focus because the DVD is a bit soft. I'm annoyed and disappointed that there are so many marks and speckles. Those defects should be easy to remove digitally.

I like this film a lot too and the performances by the 3 main leads. But it is a downer, moody film so probably not for everyone. Most of the Hollywood westerns were changing to a dark tone around this time. No doubt an influence from the Spaghetti westerns that had become popular.
