The Man from the West is one of those surwesterns […] an admirable lesson in cinema." Jean-Luc Godard

New HD restoration

Link Jones has long since stopped using his colts… But as he returns to his native West, his train is attacked by a band of outlaws. He finds himself forced to participate in the attack on a bank in a ghost town. Because in reality, Link Jones was once among these bandits. The time has come to settle accounts with his past, in an ultimate confrontation...

All the cruelty of Anthony Mann's cinema ( The Man from the Plain, Winchester 73 ) for a great western, led by a mythical hero of the genre: Gary Cooper. From the sequence of the heroine's forced striptease to the attack on a deserted city by a mad leader, there are many anthology moments in this twilight masterpiece.
