When Sergio Leone turned Lee Van Cleef into a major star with For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, the actor sensibly stayed in Italy to make several more spaghetti westerns, including this one from Leone's former assistant Tonino Valerii that genre aficionados rank amongst the best ever made. Giuliano Gemma plays street cleaner Scott Mary, relentlessly bullied by the people of the small town of Clifton. When legendarily ruthless master gunfighter Frank Talby (Van Cleef) rides into town, Scott seizes the opportunity to lift himself out of the gutter, and possibly even surpass Talby's own skills. But what is Talby doing in Clifton in the first place? This lively, intelligent western, notable for the chemistry between its charismatic leads, some memorable action set-pieces (including a rifle duel on horseback that has to be seen to be believed), and a jazzy Riz Ortolani score, is presented here in an exclusive high-definition restoration from the original Techniscope negative.

Press Quotes

The real deal Van Cleef, complete with gunsight eyes [and] Giuliana Gemma in fine form and one of the best theme tunes you'll ever hear. All in all, this one is a winner

     —Spaghetti Western Database

Day of Anger is a top shelf release from Arrow Video. A must-have for fans of Van Cleef and the spaghetti western genre. It's a fantastic film and a terrific showcase for an icon of cinematic badassery.

     —Dread Central

I'm in awe of what Arrow Films has delivered with this opening salvo, and that goes for their choices of films for the label's American debut as well as the truly exceptional presentations they've put together. Very, very Highly Recommended.

     —DVD Talk

You won't be disappointed in any way by this perfect presentation. Welcome to America, Arrow Video.

     —DoBlu.com

Arrow has put a lot of effort into this restoration, going so far as to include three versions of the film, including the truncated version that was released theatrically in the United States.

     —ION Cinema

Like the best spaghetti westerns, Day Of Anger injects social commentary into its flashy widescreen vistas and ear-catching music

     —Pop Matters

Arrow has put together quite an admirable package for this unduly under-celebrated Spaghetti Western, which receives our immediate recommendation for the genre's fans.
