Review by mcarrara

"Garden of Evil" was the first western filmed in the original wide screen format of CinemaScope and stereophonic sound.(The second was "River of no Return") both produced by Fox studios.The Mexican landscapes are excellent thanks to the superb photography and use of color. the score is also first rate by the great composer Bernard Herrmann. The lines of Gary Cooper are excellent, I fine example of the "Man with no name" type. Full of philosophic topics. Widmark and Hayward also ad magic to film. A traditional frontier western. Its a film made for wide screen, it deserves an excellent wide print with a superb stereo sound, like in the original. a must in DVD.
