Quote:

A trio of exceptional performances from Glenn Ford, Ernest Borgnine, and Rod Steiger form the center of Jubal, an overlooked Hollywood treasure from genre master Delmer Daves. In this Shakespearean tale of jealousy and betrayal, Ford is an honorable itinerant cattleman, befriended and hired by Borgnine's bighearted ranch owner despite his unwillingness to talk about his past. When the new hand becomes the target of the flirtatious attentions of the owner's bored wife (Valerie French) and is entrusted by the boss with a foreman's responsibilities, his presence at the ranch starts to rankle his shifty fellow cowhand, played by Steiger. The resulting emotional showdown imparts unparalleled psychology intensity to this western, a vivid melodrama featuring expressive location photography in Technicolor and CinemaScope.

It's $19.99, so that's pretty cheap, in my opinion.

I've had it pre-ordered for a while.

I like the thirty dollar msrp. I wish all single film Criterions were at this price point. With a fifty percent off or better sale, it makes them much easier on the wallet.

I agree, but they only do it with releases that are virtually barebones. An unfortunate side effect, but a Criterion for $15 without jumping through any hoops during a B&N sale isn't bad at all.

This looks like a fantastic release! I hope that Fox decides to license some of their westerns to Criterion because they and Sony both are lagging behind in releasing westerns on BD.
