The Rise And Fall Of Legs Diamond (Preview Clip)

Famed director Budd Boetticher turns in his spurs for a pair of gats to tell the tale of the infamous "Clay Pigeon," Legs Diamond, so dubbed because of the sheer number of gangland shootouts that the criminal survived. The film, an early selection of the world famous Telluride Film Festival, plays as nothing less than a classic Warner Bros. 'Gangster' picture, but was made in 1960! Ray Danton's ruthless but compelling performance as Legs effectively ushered in the era of the anti-hero for sixties American film. Dyan Cannon makes her screen debut. This remastered edition - created from the original camera negative - is presented on home video in the correct aspect ratio for the first time.
