For those who may have not seen it, and I cannot imagine a western fan missing this one, THE VIOLENT MEN is an excellent film…prominent stars, great story, great photography at great scenic locations. If you have not seen this you should. It is easily available for sale on dvd and has shown more than once in recent years on TCM in widescreen. Get it!!
