Hannie Caulder [DVD]

Tv.

HANNIE CAULDER was an international production, with funds coming from France, Spain, Britain and the USA. The result was an extremely gimmicky spaghetti western, but one of the most entertaining films ever made. The film is loaded with gunfights, chases and cliches. Raquel Welsh looks great as the home steader who is raped and let to die by bungling bandits the Clement brothers (Ernest Borgnine, Jack Elam and Strother Martin). After enlisting the help of the bounty hunter Thomas Price (Culp) to teach her how to shoot, Hannie goes gunning for her attackers. The plot is a very conventional one that is made fresh and new by the performances of Welsh, Culp and especially Strother Martin. My main disappointment was with the disc itself. There are no extras or talent bios or even a chapter menu. Anchor Bay could have done much more.

A good movie, the villians are fun, the main character is enjoyable to watch, in more ways than one! The movie takes it's time to flesh out her character, we actually see her train to become a gunslinger, something we don't see very often in movies today. It might feel a little dated to some, but still a very entertaining film.

This western from the 70s is often over looked which is i feel a little unfair.The movie has a great cast that includes RA QUEL WELCH,ROBERT CULP, ERNEST BORGNINE, STROTHER MARTIN, JACK ELAM, and even CHRISTOPHER LEE. Directed by BURT KENNEDY this movie has action comedy and a love story all in the one movie.The story think of a female version of DEATH WISH but as a western.The disc itself has very nice picture and sound by the way this is the disc from AUSTRALIA and is in the right 2.35.1 format as i know this movie is out from other companys. On the extra front we get the trailer for the movie also in scope.So if you enjoy a good western give this disc a go i dont think you will be sorry you did

Excellent, First Class Service, Brilliant Item, good to see actors who were famous in their timeWith no bad Language

After watching this movie on TV and not being too thrilled at the quality of the print I decided to buy it on DVD.Was sort of a good idea the print on the DVd was still not what I would call perfect ,infact the opening and closing titles are in German or Spanish.I this day and age surely it cannot be too difficult to get a decent print of a film thats not even 50 years old. Still watchable though and for the price I paid cannot quibble to much.

A interest concept of a picture, the violence and the dialogue is a mixed combination good cast and emotive score and some memorable scenes in a odd UK production from 71 1.85.1 and French dub interesting

Good western
