Hollywood legends Lee Marvin, Jack Palance, Jeanne Moreau, Mitchell Ryan, and Jim Davis star in this
gripping saga that covers the tumultuous final days of the Old West. Facing a changing landscape
where barbed wire and railways replace the freedom of the open range, Monte Walsh (Marvin) and his
fellow cowboys consider new work opportunities, toy with the idea of "settling down," and draw their
pistols for one last showdown. Forty years after its original theatrical debut, the unbridled spirit
of the American frontier rides again in the film Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times) praises, saying,
"The performances are extraordinary. Marvin has very seldom been better; he leaves in the toughness
of his usual screen character, but he also reveals a lot of depth."

After removing the trailer and other junk, it came down to DVD5 size. The movie was encoded as
interlaced (hard telecine), something only the final review listed below picked up on. See the sample
as evidence. That's inexcusable in this day and age.
