I am actually quite shocked we got this at all. I think it just proves that even after years of seeing horrible prints or transfers, the original film elements are out there waiting to be put into a digital format!<br /><br />I watched Keoma tonight. It does not look as good as The Grand Duel, but still very watchable.aaron@theBad.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610876186258437366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388554970113771183.post-38837858504433620752012-05-24T16:17:21.500-07:002012-05-24T16:17:21.500-07:00It sounds good.

I remember when this movie was before the cameras (according to Variety back then it said "shooting in Italy" but I guess some could be somewhere in Spain but likely most of this film if not all of it was shot in Italy), the title was "Showdown at High Noon"!! And Lee made this film just after he did "The Magnificent Seven Ride" in California and LA. It didn't debut in my area until 1975 and it was first run at the drive-inn under the title "The Grand Duel". I knew it was the same movie I saw listed in 1972 when I saw it because of the rest of the cast. I had never heard of those other titles until it came out on VHS/DVD.BobOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18271946822465853875noreply@blogger.com
