We showed our old DVD as part of our Lee Van Cleef fest recently and hoped for a coming upgrade. Had forgotten how good this is and the jump should be significant. One of Peck’s better, lesser known performances of its day and a nice early role for Henry Silva.

This a restoration ? Anyone owing the disc like to chip in with an opinion ? Thanks

Don't hesitate. Buy It Now.

Outstanding transfer. Sharp and textured. Deep blacks, rich color, proper grading.

Some reviewers complained of "Cinemascope mumps" brought out by the digitization,
but that's the process and character of Cinemascope and not a flaw in the transfer.

The Bravados is a peerless western.

Nice A/V upgrade from DVD

Interesting film. I have a tendency to forget how many notable Westerns Gregory Peck was in.
