Summary: AT LAST ON DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Now you can watch this great film as many times as you want.The picture quality is quite good.The soundtrack is excellant.This film is one of my all time favorites.It has a wonderful blend of adventure,comedy and a simple but touching plot. Henry Fonda is perfect as an aging gunfighter who wants to retire. Terence Hill is perfect as the comical admirer who wants Fonda to go out in a blaze of glory.This is a must for all western movie fans!

Summary: a pity
Review: After viewing, this DVD has been made out an NTSC encoded video tape: color, resolution and sound are those of a rental NTSC video.
If your TV is an old analog set, no difference.
If you have a beamer and/or a hi-fi system and expect good quality, you will be disapointed.

Wham unlike the MGM has obviously chosen the low cost way when
porting oldies westerns to DVD.

Summary: A Classic Worthy of Digital Preservation
Review: Nobody but "Nobody" knows how thrilled I was to find this on DVD! I had pampered my VHS thinking that I would never see such an obscure, yet thoroughly enjoyable film in a more permanent format. This film set an artistic standard that I cannot say has ever been matched in a western. Anyone seeking a serious gun-slinging film might be disappointed to find this film saturated with comedy. But don't let that deter you! Sergio Leoni has solidly proven himself as adept at comedy as action/drama. The widescreen format of the DVD allows you to catch some of the otherwise cropped-out facial expressions of by-standers in the film, which is a small but vital part of what made this comedy so artistic. The remastered soundtrack really brings the disc alive, allowing the subtle background noises such as gasps, comments whispered among townsfolk, and the tooth grinding of an irate cowboy to be heard with crystal clarity. There is not even a hint of an annoying hiss, which really surpised me, given the age of the soundtrack. But background effects, though vital, were not the soul of this artistic endeavour. It is as rootin'-tootin' a shootin' cowboy flick as any Eastwood movie Sergio ever produced. Just imagine the subtle wit of Clint's characters taken to an abrupt extreme! The plot is clever and somewhat sophisticated, immediately letting the viewer know the direction of the film but, as with any of his stories, shrouding the elements of how the plot could possibly be fulfilled until it actually is. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone, western fan or not. Don't watch it with expectations; just let it run its course and enjoy its tom-foolery. It's worth the high ratings folks are a prone to be givin' it.

Summary: Cool Classic
Review: My favorite movie bar none! I'm not a fan of typical westerns but this isn't a typical western. Terence Hill plays the up and coming gun slinger. He also plays the part of a guardian angle insuring Henry Fondas safe retirement from his gun fighting career. To bad Hollywood never recognized Terence Hill and put him in any other movies worthy of his ability. Thanks "Mike", my sisters boyfriend 20 years ago, for tapping this
for me.

Summary: A truly romantic western
Review: My most favorite movie of all time. Very under rated with an incredible performance by Henry Fonda and Terence Hill. The filming, to include the scenery and the music is chilling. My copy of a VHS tape is so used and in such bad condition, this DVD edition is very welcome and displayed with pride. Share this movie with all who enjoy westerns, they will come away a fan of this movie

Summary: My name would be "nobody" too if I had to be in this.....
Review: Several things came to mind while watching...a)scenery is great; if you've never been to Mogollon, make a trip. b) Henry Fonda was a great actor and must have been blackmailed by Sergio Leone to appear in this mess. c) Leone was no doubt popular with investors for recycling everything from costumes to music on each of his music. d) the video quality was too damned good, if you ask me. e) The word "Interminable" came to me several times. This is one of those movies better with the sound off. If you want a western, watch any of John Ford's, Ulzana's Raid, Butch Casidy and the Sundance Kid, or the Magnificent Seven. Nuff said.

Summary: The " Apocolypse Now" of westerns!
Review: Great movie! But... The quality of the video recording was quite annoying! There has to be a better one out there somewhere. I pray when it comes out on DVD that it's in letterbox. I've seen this flick on tv and it seems that this vhs recording was super zoomed when formatted. Most of the best scene in the movie, where Fonda has his big showdown, is lost "side to side". If your a big Terence Hill fan and your "jonsing" for this movie then click away otherwise wait for the remastered DVD edition.

Summary: Great film, shame about the tape quality
Review: One of my all-time favorites, and rather hard to find in Europe (odd, as it is countries like Germany where the Italian spaghetti-western genre has enjoyed greatest succes). Inserting the tape into my VCR, I was really looking forward to seeing this gem again after quite a few years, but I was sourly disppointed at the very poor quality of this particular recording. Though there are worse, this was clearly below standard, and I'm surprised it's not been mentioned more often in the reviews below. 5 stars for the film, 2 for the recording
