Sergio Leone Westerns Blu-ray Box Set Coming March 10th
Few films have been released more times on video than Sergio Leone’s Westerns. Still, it is welcome news that Kino Lorber Studio Classics will release all five films — A Fistful of Dollars; For a Few Dollars More; The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly; Once Upon a Time in the West; and A Fistful of Dynamite — in a single, “shelf space-saving,” Blu-ray box set. These films (at least the first four) are universally regarded as the absolute best of the Euro-Western genre. If you haven’t picked them up already, here is a perfect opportunity to pull the trigger.
Here is the release announcement from the Kino Lorber Studio Classics Facebook Page:
