Amazon.co.uk Review
After starring in the now-legendary Dollars trilogy of spaghetti Westerns for Italian director Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood became a box-office star and imported the style of those classic shoot-em-ups for this 1967 Western directed by Ted Post, with whom Eastwood had worked during their days on the television series Rawhide. Eastwood plays an innocent rancher who is mistaken for a cattle rustler and sentenced to hang by an angry mob. When he is saved from the noose by a passing lawman, he embarks on a renegade campaign of vengeance against the men who attempted to lynch him. Hang 'Em High offers a number of memorable moments and stylistic flourishes, and features a superb supporting cast of Western veterans, including Ben Johnson, Ed Begley, Pat Hingle, Dennis Hopper, Bruce Dern, LQ Jones, and the "Skipper" himself, Alan Hale Jr Made just three years before Dirty Harry, the film marked a turning point for Eastwood, who would soon move into a prolific period of contemporary thrillers. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com

Synopsis
The first spaghetti western made in America (sans Leone) and Eastwood's first star vehicle made outside Europe. Eastwood's innocent cowboy miraculously survives his own hanging and then treks across the frontier to bring his hangmen to justice. Highly entertaining, featuring in small parts Dern, Hopper, and cowboy veteran Bob Steele as a dungeon prisoner.

Customer Reviews

Classic western.... with Clint
I decided to put up a review of this film after purchasing it from Amazon, at just under 7.00GBP.
To be honest, their cannot be many people who have not seen the movie before, although, perhaps like me, it has been quite a while. DVD special features (or lack of them) don't really concern me, and this review concentrates on the film.
Basically, Eastwood is hung in error by a posse in search of a murdering cattle rustler. Eastwood is found by a passing Marshal, while still alive. After being cleared, he takes a position as a Marshal himself. While "vengeance" is to some degree in the film, Cooper (Eastwood's character) does not actively go in search if this for most of the film.
Anyway, to the main question: satisfaction and value for money. At around the price I paid, 7.00GBP, the film is worth every penny, although I would be less inclined to pay more. For the viewer, the film is a very good watch indeed, save perhaps for the conclusion of the story, which, although told clearly, may leave some wanting more. Of course, judging it by more modern "revenge" movies may be a factor, but in it's genre, it certainly delivers.

HANG`S
This movie for the first American Western for Eastwood. When I compare for the dolar trilogy this movie different, there is not any name for the trilogy they are call monco and blondie. But picture and sound quality below the dvd quality.

Great start
This was Clint's first 'All American' Western, which saw the debut of some of Hollywood's finest actors, Pat Hingle and Dennis Hopper alike. This set the pace for other westerns of its era, and soon became recognised as a classic in its own right.
