A pure Italian western directed by a Sergio Leone collaborator with cult music
Philip Wermeer is wrongfully accused of murdering the Saxon patriarch, a man feared and hated by all the inhabitants of Arizona. The victim's sons, as formidable as their father, have sent killers after him. During his escape, Philip crosses paths with former sheriff Clayton, who comes to his aid. The man seems to have information about the real culprit…
With The Grand Duel, director Giancarlo Santi delivers one of the most elegant and twilight Italian westerns of the early 1970s, brilliantly written by one of the great giallo authors, Ernesto Gastaldi (Torso). Carried by the haunting music of Luis Bacalov (Django) and extensive and masterful direction, the film revisits classic themes of the genre – justice, revenge, and corruption – through a thrilling chase, starring the immense Lee Van Cleef (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly). An essential work and available for the first time on Blu-ray™ in its new 4K restoration!
