Review of Hang 'em High (1968) by Codyz — 30 Jul 2023
Movie is Eastwood's first American studio film as a leading man, is a bland misfire.
A semi attempt to replicate a Spaghetti Western, it comes close with music and star, and the revenge plot works to a point. Movie starts strong but grows tedious due to muddled presentation.
Theme of levels of frontier justice, ethics, are also muddled.
Cheaply made, with same famous MGM Western town set repeatedly redressed as five different towns.
Lots of famous faces in supporting roles.
