Independent distributors Kino Lorber have confirmed that they are planning to release on Blu-ray director Gordon Douglas' western
Barquero (1970), starring Lee Van Cleef, Warren Oates, Forrest Tucker, Mariette Hartley, and Kerwin Mathews. The release is scheduled to arrive on the U.S. market in April.
Synopsis: A ruthless gang of thuggish outlaws butcher the settlers of a small Colorado town taking with them anything they can get their hands on. Leaving a bloody trail of death behind them, they head for the Mexican Border. Their only obstacles are a notoriously lethal river and mysterious, hard as nails, shotgun wielding boat owner called Travis Barquero (Lee Van Cleef), and he ain't going nowhere. A Sergio Leone-inspired western from legendary director Gordon Douglas (In Like Flint, Stagecoach), starring cult seventies icons Lee Van Cleef (The Good, The Bad And The Ugly), Warren Oats (The Wild Bunch), Forrest Tucker (The Night They Raided Minsky's) and Kerwin Mathews (Battle Beneath The Sea).
