Independent distributors Olive Films have announced that they will add two new Signature Editions of classic films to their Blu-ray catalog: Orson Welles' Macbeth and Burt Kennedy's Hannie Caulder. The the releases will be available for purchase this November.
Hannie Caulder
Revenge is a loaded gunin director Burt Kennedy's (The Train Robbers) Hannie Caulder. Raquel Welch (One Million Years B.C.,100 Rifles, and Myra Breckinridge) smolders as Hannie, a widow sworn to avenge her own brutal rape and husband's murder at the hands of Emmett (Ernest Borgnine, The Wild Bunch), Frank (Jack Elam, Support Your Local Sheriff), and Rufus (Strother Martin, Cool Hand Luke), three of the most despicable scoundrels to have ever roamed the prairie. Eager for revenge, but lacking the gunfighter's know-how, Hannie soon discovers new confidence and skill when bounty hunter Thomas Luther Price (Robert Culp, Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice) teaches her the way of the gun. In no time, Hannie is strapping on her six shooter and setting out to put a few notches on its handle. Co-starring the legendary Christopher Lee (Horror of Dracula), playing against type as a sympathetic gunsmith who befriends her, Hannie Caulder hits its target from ten paces.
