A Classic Western with an uncommon story line.

I wish this movie was available on DVD. At the time this was made it was a very different western. Not the usual shoot-em-up. The story of a dying breed, it really speaks to us the situation of finding out the job you've done all your life is now somehow obsolete. I especially like the Mama Cass song and the John Barry treatment of it that is reprised throughout the movie. The only opportunities I've had to see this are the few times it has appeared on broadcast TV. I'm hoping the original wide screen version will someday be available on DVD. There is a CD out now with the soundtrack, but it is very hard to find.
