oh film literate gurus out there in view askew bebop land.does anyone know when budd boetticher stuff might be dancing forth on DVD.about two or three years ago at UCLA they ran Seven Men From Now, a film thought lost for many years.Also the uncut Bullfighter and the Lady.Both Boetticher and Burt Kennedy were still among this ongoing process of a world,and they were feted.Curtis Hanson emceed,and the theater was bouncing with folks.But now both are dead,and seemingly no DVD action yet on any of the stuff Boetticher did with Randolph Scott.That series,along with Anthony Mann's series with James Stewart(although his final great Western,Man of the West,starred Gary Cooper)revitalized,redefined,and recreated the western genre.Seven Men From Now is a must for any Lee Marvin fan.Anyhow,thought I'd toss this query into the mix.
