The incomparable Paul Newman (WUSA) brings his own brand of justice to the Old West in the 1967 Western Hombre, an all-star adaptation of Elmore Leonard’s 1961 novel, coming to Blu-Ray for the first time.

Paul Newman goes West in Hombre.

Paul Newman goes West in Hombre.

The filmmaking team of director Martin Ritt (Norma Rae) and screenwriters Irving Ravetch and Harriet Frank Jr. created this revisionist Western that offers a variation on the theme of Stagecoach. Paul Newman portrays the titular Apache-raised white man, initially despised by his fellow stagecoach passengers, who is then appealed to for help when a savage robbery/kidnapping leaves them in peril.

The movie also stars Fredric March (Inherit the Wind), Richard Boone (Big Jake), Martin Balsam (Psycho), and Diane Cilento (The Wicker Man).
