Hang ‘Em High

Hang ’em High was Clint Eastwood’s first big role after having completed filming (and promoting) the Man With No Name trilogy with Sergio Leone. Eastwood ended up being on the road promoting the films internationally for 2 years and he was anxious to get back to making movies. Hang ’em High was also the first film from his new production company, Malpaso Company — which is still in business today. The film is a gritty revisionist western about an innocent man who survives a lynching. A bit of a departure from his normal bad guy roles, the innocent man is hired as a U.S. Marshal and takes his revenge legally!

This awesome full length shot of Eastwood stands nearly 5′ tall! And while the noose and Eastwood dominate the design, there is great gallows detail along the bottom. This tall, slender format had very low print numbers compared to regular Japanese B2s. They are very rare, especially for more popular film titles, and are highly sought after by collectors today.
