Over at Cinesavant.com, the mighty Glenn Erickson has spilled the beans on the glories of the upcoming Blu-Ray of Sam Peckinpah’s Major Dundee (1965) from Germany’s Explosive Media.
It’ll be the longer cut — the version that was previewed in the States and that ran in some parts of the world, accompanies by documentaries, commentaries, interviews and all sorts of cool stuff. The mangled masterpiece certainly deserves the attention it’s getting here. Can’t wait.
50 Westerns From The 50s. 
Great news, I guess…Seeing as I have the extended cut on DVD and was lucky enough to obtain the Twilight Time Blu-ray (it’s currently listed on Amazon for $159.99 w/ FREE shipping!!!), I was hoping someone like KINO might get around to putting out a more budget friendly Blu-ray version. However, as this is one of my favorite Peckinpah films I will most likely indulge even though It appears that the special features will be in German with English subtitles and the booklet in German as well…..Toby, if you happen to get a copy to preview please keep us posted on the complete package. I’ll be checking for updates on Glenn’s site as well.
