Saw the movie when it was originally released in limited distribution in San Francisco. Video release has been difficult to get in the Unite States, I guess because the rights to the movie was sold to Tom Laughlin who made a western version of the story titled "The Master Gunfighter."
Excellent cinematography, colors, acting and all-around artistry. Other movies of the genre are better for pure action, violence, etc. but this movie remains one my all-time favorites.
I see similarities with the recently released "The Last Samurai" where Tom Cruise's life degenerates into a side-show sharp-shooter only to redeem himself by righting old wrongs.
