5.0 out of 5 stars NEW 50th ANNIVERSARY BLU-RAY VERSUS THE OLD MGM BLU-RAY
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2018
PHOTOS 1 & 2: Bob Steele in ‘Hang ‘em High’ and in the 1930s
PHOTOS 3 & 4: Charles McGraw in ‘Hang ‘em High’ and in 1949

In 2011 MGM Home Video issued Clint Eastwood’s first American western on Blu-Ray: [[ASIN:B004TJ1GYW Hang 'Em High [Blu-ray]]]
I haven’t seen it, but some Amazon reviewers complained that the picture was not restored for Blu-Ray release, and was basically just a reissue of the old DVD master.
The new 50th Anniversary Blu-Ray of ‘Hang ‘em High’ from Shout does not claim to be newly restored, but I have seen it and can confirm that the picture looks quite good on my 40 inch screen.
There are a few differences: the MGM blu-ray had English SDH and Spanish subtitles,
the Shout 50th Anniversary blu-ray only has English SDH subtitles.
The MGM blu-ray had audio in 5.1 DTS-HD surround or in the original mono.
The new 50th Anniversary blu-ray has audio in 5.1 DTS-HD surround or in 2.0-HD stereo (excellent stereo sound - though released in mono in 1968, I am guessing that unused music and sound effect tracks tracks survive and were used for the blu-ray).
The MGM blu-ray had NO bonus features.
The Shout 50th Anniversary Edition has two separate full-length audio commentaries + the original 1968 Warner Brothers’ preview of coming attractions.
WARNING: DO NOT VIEW THE PREVIEW OF COMING ATTRACTIONS UNTIL AFTER YOU HAVE VIEWED THE MOVIE.
It has a HORRIBLE spoiler that will completely ruin the big surprise that comes in chapter 11 of the blu-ray.
What was Warner Brothers thinking?
DON’T WATCH IT!
Both 50th Anniversary audio commentaries are well-done, though screenwriter Lem Dobbs can’t tell the difference between a lamb and a cow.
The 50th Anniversary blu-ray comes with a reversible cover (photos 5 & 6).

In baseball, the Minor Leagues are the training ground for the Major Leagues
Back in the 1950’s and ‘60s, Warner Brothers had their own Minor League: Television.
Television was viewed as a training ground for Movie stardom.
Most actors never made the transition, but there were exceptions.
Clint Eastwood, star of “Rawhide”, was the most spectacular exception. Can you name the others? – see the footnote at the end of this review.*

‘Hang ‘em High’ was actually Clint Eastwood’s fourth starring film.
While his TV show was on hiatus, Sergio Leone invited Eastwood to star in his Italian “man with no name” trilogy:
‘A Fistful of Dollars’-1964, ‘For a Few Dollars More’-1965, ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’-1966.
These films were not released in America until after “Rawhide”s cancellation.
Their popularity with American audiences took Warner Brothers completely by surprise.
The studio reacted quickly by signing Eastwood to his first starring role in an American film.
To save time, Warner hired TV director Ted Post, director of 24 episodes of “Rawhide”, and someone Eastwood was comfortable working with, to direct ‘Hang ‘em High’.
The picture was a hit, and led to Eastwood co-starring with Richard Burton in ‘Where Eagles Dare’ later that year (his first prestige film).
‘Hang ‘em High’ was filmed in Hollywood on MGM’s Western set - the film looks like an American Western.
The only nod to Leone’s Italian trilogy is the music by Dominic Frontierre which imitates (or is an homage to) Ennio Morricone, plus the tiny cigars that Eastwood smokes (he also wears the same gun belt he wore in the Italian films).
‘Hang ‘em High’ looks good and has the greatest supporting cast of any Eastwood western:
--- Ed Begley
--- Ben Johnson (one year before ‘The Wild Bunch’)
--- Bruce Dern at his weaseliest
--- Dennis Hopper at his squirreliest (one year before ‘Easy Rider’)
--- Pat Hingle
--- Alan Hale Jr. (his first film after “Gilligan’s Island’ was cancelled)
--- L.Q. Jones
+ two Legends of Hollywood, neither of whom had aged well:
--- Bob Steele: the B-Movie western star appeared in 242 films between 1920 and 1974 (photos 1 & 2)
--- Charles McGraw: the Film Noir leading man played both detectives and crooks in 139 films between 1942 and 1977 (photos 3 & 4)
--- Inger Stevens is officially listed as the leading lady, but she doesn’t have much to do except look enigmatic.

Clint Eastwood’s “Angel of Death” trilogy:
‘Hang ‘em High’ (1968), ‘High Plains Drifter’ (1973), ‘Pale Rider’ (1985) - in each film the Clint Eastwood character is believed to be dead, but comes back to life to seek justice/vengeance.

* Stars of TV Westerns who became Movie Stars:
--- Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates in “Rawhide” (1959-1965)
--- Steve McQueen as Josh Randall in “Wanted Dead or Alive” (1958-1961)
--- James Garner as Bret Maverick in “Maverick” (1957-1960)
--- Roger Moore as Beau Maverick in “Maverick” (1960-1962) - James Garner quit the show after three seasons and was replaced by cousin Beau from England (I was eleven years old and was devastated).

Stars of TV Westerns who did not become Movie Stars:
--- Eric Fleming, Clint Eastwood’s co-star on “Rawhide” (the poor guy drowned while filming a TV show the year after “Rawhide” was cancelled).
--- James Arness in “Gunsmoke” (1955-1975)
--- Clint Walker in “Cheyenne” (1955-1963) - R.I.P 2018 - this town ain’t big enough for two Clints.
--- Ty Hardin in “Bronco” (1958-1962)
--- Chuck Connors in the “Rifleman” (1958-1963)
--- Nick Adams in “The Rebel” (1959-1961) - the least P.C. show on television - his death in 1968 was ruled a suicide (or was it?)
--- Pernell Roberts, Dan Blocker and Michael Landon in “Bonanza” (1959-73)
