Set in the American West of the 1940s, director Alan J. Pakula’s 1978 Western Comes a Horseman gives us a pair of little-guy ranchers (Barbarella‘s Jane Fonda and Rollerball‘s James Caan) who join forces against the depredations of a ruthless land baron (Jason Robards, Julia) determined to expand his empire at whatever cost.

As supplier Twilight Time prints up only 3,000 copies of each title, be sure to head over to the Twilight Time site or that of distributor Screen Archives tomorrow, Jan. 4, so you can put in your prebook order!
Twilight Time has announced that in the case of the transfer of this film, there’s an unusually high (for a TT release) level of “speckling” and general debris that mars the work of cinematographer Willis. That said, the Blu-ray will carry the reduced list price of $22.95.
