Beginning his midcareer transition into increasingly edgy roles, Stewart portrays an avenging sharpshooter whose stolen rifle becomes a harbinger of death as it is passed from one doomed hand to the next. Featuring a stellar cast that includes a touching Shelley Winters, a sensationally sleazy Dan Duryea, and a pre-stardom Rock Hudson, this elemental tale of violence begetting violence broke new ground with its evocation of the West as a no-man’s-land of antiheroes and villains.4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration, undertaken by Universal Pictures in collaboration with The Film Foundation, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackOne 4K UHD disc of the film and one Blu-ray with the film and special featuresAudio commentary featuring actor James Stewart and film historian Paul LindenschmidtNew interview with film programmer Adam Piron on the portrayal of Native Americans in the western genreForces of Nature: Anthony Mann at Universal, a program on a key chapter in the director’s careerLux Radio Theatre adaptation of the film from 1951TrailerEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPlus: An essay by critic Imogen Sara SmithNew cover by Gregory ManchessScout Tafoya - Buy THE BLACK BOOK hereScout Tafoya is a film critic, video essayist, filmmaker, and author of Cinemaphagy: On The Psychedelic Classical Form of Tobe Hooper, the first book-length critical study of the director of "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre."
