Westerns on Blu-ray from Paramount in May: Once Upon a Time in the West, Rio Lobo, A Man Called Horse, Big Jake

I’m a crazy fan of Sergio Leone‘s western films and Once Upon a Time in the West is one of the best. Who’d a thought that Henry Fonda could play such a convincing badass! I’m over the moon that the film will be making its Blu-ray debut in May, alongside a host of other fine Paramount westerns. If the studio is able to deliver transfers on these catalogue titles that even approach their work on The Ten Commandments Blu-ray, we’ll be in for a real treat.

  1. [...] discs a month but May is shaping up to be a wallet-killer from the studio! In addition to the four Western Blu-ray titles we told you about earlier, Paramount will also be unleashing high-def versions of four top films from their catalogue next [...]
