Hang 'Em High
1968
***
Director: Ted Post
Cast: Clint Eastwood, Inger Stevens, Ed Begley, Pat Hingle, Ben Johnson, Charles McGraw, Ruth White

Clint Eastwood's first Western after the Dollar Trilogy is perfectly enjoyable, but terribly ordinary compared to Sergio Leone's fresh approach. He plays a man who becomes a justice-seeking marshal after surviving a lynching.
