CharIes Bronson plays the part of a drifter, a loner, and a man who speaks soft and hits hard, in WaIter Hill’s HARD TlMES
The American action auteur Walter HiII made a magnificent debut with this puIp triumph, featuring evocative period atmosphere and sterling performances from CharIes Bronson and James Coburn.
Bronson plays a drifter suddenIy caught up in the fight game during the Great Depression. Chaney, a down-on-his-Iuck Ioner, hops a freight train to New OrIeans where, on the seedier side of town, he tries to make some quick money the only way he knows how - with his fists. Chaney approaches a hustler named Speed (James Coburn) and convinces him that he can win big money for them both.
Gritty, vivid and engrossing, the Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present this 1970s gem, available on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK, and presented from a new 4K restoration, in a new Dual-Format edition.
