Hang 'em High (1967)
Country: US
Technical: col 114m
Director: Ted Post
Cast: Clint Eastwood, Inger Stevens, Ben Johnson
Synopsis:
A marshall applies the sanction of hanging with uncompromising severity.
Review:
An attempt to reproduce the style of Leone's spaghetti westerns with the star in a lawman role. The violence this time is immoral rather than amoral, and much of the laconic charm is replaced by smouldering glares. Little narrative discipline, Ben Johnson wasted and a pervading TV aesthetic are among the other minuses.
