{"product_id":"grand-duel-the-blu-ray","title":"Grand Duel, The (BLU-RAY)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Grand Duel is archetypal spaghetti western which boasts many of the genre's classic hallmarks including action-packed gunfights, wild stunts and an impressive climactic showdown... Genre stalwart Lee Van Cleef (The Big Combo, Day of Anger) stars as a gnarled ex-sheriff called Clayton who comes to the aid of a young Philipp Wermeer (Alberto Dentice), a fugitive framed for the murder of a powerful figure called The Patriarch. Clayton helps Philipp fend off attacks from bounty hunters in a series of thrilling gunfights before the two make their way to Jefferson to confront three villains known as the Saxon brothers, and reveal who really killed The Patriarch. A complex tale of revenge penned by prolific giallo writer Ernesto Gastaldi (Torso, The Case of the Scorpion's Tail), The Grand Duel benefits from a beguiling central performance from Lee Van Cleef and assured helmsmanship from Giancarlo Santi (assistant director to Sergio Leone on The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West). Add to this brew a memorable and tuneful score by composer Luis Bacalov (Django, Milano Calibro 9) and the stage is set for one of the grandest of all the Italian westerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecial Features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Definition Blu-ray™ (1080p) presentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncompressed mono 1.0 LPCM audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal English and Italian soundtracks, titles and credits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly translated English subtitles for the Italian soundtrack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing for the English soundtrack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew audio commentary by film critic, historian and theorist Stephen Prince\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Unconventional Western, a newly filmed interview with director Giancarlo Santi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Last of the Great Westerns, a newly filmed interview with screenwriter Ernesto Gastaldi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCowboy by Chance, an interview with the actor Alberto Dentice AKA Peter O'Brien\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOut of the Box, a newly filmed interview with producer Ettore Rosboch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Day of the Big Showdown, a newly filmed interview with assistant director Harald Buggenig\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaxon City Showdown, a newly filmed video appreciation by the academic Austin Fisher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Italian and international theatrical trailers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtensive image gallery featuring stills, posters, lobby cards and home video sleeves, drawn from the Mike Siegel Archive and other collections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Matt Griffin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Different Duels, a comparison between the original cut and the longer German cut of The Grand Duel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame Over, an obscure sci-fi short film from 1984 directed by Bernard Villiot and starring The Grand Duel's Marc Mazza\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarc Mazza: Who was the Rider on the Rain?, a video essay about the elusive actor Marc Mazza by tough-guy film expert Mike Malloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Arrow Video","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45063617183944,"sku":"AV189","price":44.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/files\/grandduelbd.jpg?v=1776993406","url":"https:\/\/videomatica.com\/products\/grand-duel-the-blu-ray","provider":"Videomatica Ltd (since 1983)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
