Kino Lorber have confirmed that they will release on Blu-ray Richard Wilson's western
Invitation to a Gunfighter (1964), starring Yul Brynner, Janice Rule, George Segal, Clifford David, Brad Dexter, Pat Hingle, and Bert Freed. The release is scheduled to arrive on the U.S. market in May.
Oscar winner Yul Brynner turns in a "great performance" (Los Angeles Herald Times) as a smooth master gunfighter who must do battle with his most formidable adversary - his own conscience - in this gripping, double-barreled western full of blistering shootouts, surprise twists and colorful villainy.
In a New Mexico frontier town, Jules Gaspard d'Estaing (Brynner) is hired by the town's boss (Pat Hingle) to kill Matt Weaver (George Segal), a Civil War veteran who returns to reclaim his farm and his woman. But when d'Estaing realizes that Weaver may be the only honest man left, the conflicted hired gun must either kill an innocent man - or destroy his own reputation - in a heart-stopping final showdown.
