5.0 out of 5 stars Different labeling, but same great movie
This issue of the Randolph Scott classic, WESTERN UNION, is packaged and sold out of Brazil. But it's the very same movie, playable on all American DVD machines, with just the notes and title rendered into Portuguese. Good quality, very nice print (from 20th C./Fox). This is a classic Western, directed by Fritz Lang. They don't make like this now.

3.0 out of 5 stars Randolph Scott's Breakthrough Western
Director Fritz Lang's attention to historic and human details play an integral role in "Western Union" - a fictitious account of the telegraph line's evolution in the 1860s.

This review is from: Western Union [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - United Kingdom ] (DVD)
Director Fritz Lang's attention to historic and human details play an integral role in "Western Union" - a fictitious account of the telegraph line's evolution in the 1860s. Generally acknowledged as the first epic-scale Western in color, the 1941 Fox production is a rather conventional Hollywood endeavor. Despite the excessive comic relief and overemphasis on romance, the German filmmaker incorporates some of his fatalistic vision into the proceedings - embodied by Randolph Scott's tragic characterization. Lang's individual shadings add moments of realism to what could have been an overblown Cecil B. DeMille-type spectacle. "Western Union" remains an important film in its breakthrough casting of Scott, whose dark qualities would be further explored in his collaborations with writer-director Budd Boetticher.
