Edward Dmytryk directed this literate Western, a remake of THE HOUSE OF STRANGERS, which is itself loosely based on Shakespeare's KING LEAR. Tyrannical cattle baron Matt Devereaux (Spencer Tracy) has raised his older sons harshly, leaving them neglected and bitter, particularly Ben (Richard Widmark). Matt's youngest son, Joe (Robert Wagner), however, receives the most attention from Matt's wife, a Comanche indian (Katy Jurado). Joe remains loyal, even taking the rap when the old man gets hauled up on charges of launching a raid on a nearby copper mine. After spending three years in jail, Joe comes home to find his dad dead from a stroke, his mother back with her tribe, and his brothers running the ranch into the ground. Joe, understandably shocked and enraged, then plots his revenge.The film features a solid script by Richard Murphy and strong supporting performances by Hugh O'Brien, Eduard Franz, Earl Holliman and E.G. Marshall. It's interesting to see Spencer Tracy in such an unsympathetic light as the patriarch; his scenes with Jurado comprise some of the film's best moments.

Lavishly photographed, COMES A HORSEMAN is a dramatic Western set in the post-World War II new West. Jane Fonda stars as Ella, a stubborn rancher who will not surrender her land to the local land baron (Jason Robards). Robards yearns for the good old days when land owners were kings and the past romantic history between him and Ella seems to have given him a proprietary sense in more ways than one. War veteran Frank (James Caan) teams up with Ella to help save her ranch and her heart.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 2.35Audio: Dolby Digital Mono - English Dolby Digital Mono - French Dolby Digital Mono - SpanishAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.
