      4 out of 5 stars One outta two isn't bad...........2007-05-12

      The Grand Duel(aka Il Grande Duello) is a must have for Van Cleef fans. great solid spaghetti western with much of the LVC style. Luis Bacalov has also really provided one of the most memorable non-Morricone spaghetti scores to date. Great production values and an engaging story make it more than worthwhile.

      Beyond the Law is a lesser effort and comes off looking more like a TV quality production with TV quality acting overall and has none of the style and great lines that makes a Van Cleef outing so much fun.

      The widescreen transfer on both films is very acceptable for a spaghetti western and will not disappoint. You will definately want to pick up this double feature for The Grand Duel alone and I very highly recommend getting your hands on the CD soundtrack which has seen a couple of printings over the years.

      For those looking for more great Van Cleef spaghetti, I recommend Death Rides a Horse, The Big Gundown, Grand Duel and El Condor - all much better than the waaay overrated Day of Anger...

        Look like tape-ripped and the dvd don't have atractive features like niced-menu, subtitles or languajes options. The dvd media is genuine, but poor technical work.

        4 out of 5 stars these are also on the 10 packs this company offers.......2006-04-30

        these 4 movies are on the 10 pack collections bcieclipse offers ,but if you can't aford the $20.00 you can get these 4 packs which are very nice and are very well priced.

        5 out of 5 stars Worth Every Penny.......2005-10-21

        Excellent; Lee Van Cleef was great to watch (as always). If you haven't seen these great westerns I recommend u do so. If you're like me, you buy it for the fact that it's a collector's item and speaks for itself. Enjoy

            3 out of 5 stars A Fair Western with a Comic Touch.......2003-11-02

            Don't run out and pay top dollar for this movie, but if you can get it on sale somewhere it might entertain you. Van Cleef does a good acting job as the reluctant lawman. There are some decent comic touches. The movie drags a bit in the middle and some of the acting is lousy and the production values (even by 1968 standards) are low. Not too terrible a way to spend a couple of hours on a dull weekend. One big howler of a mistake was a major character, Novak, describes himself as a Czechoslovakian. Czechoslovakia was not founded as a state until 1919, long after the Wild West era ended. He should have described himself as a Bohemian or Moravian. Gee, its usually the Americans that don't know anything about European history, but here the Italians mess up!

            3 out of 5 stars Van Cleef's Impossible Choice.......2002-11-04

            An entertaining admixture of American idealism and Italian commedia dell'arte, "Al di la della legge" (or "Beyond the Law") is a (sometimes) ambitious attempt to fuse two storylines into one: the conventional (American) tale of the reluctant hero and the conventional (spaghetti) tale of the band of ruthless killers up against a nearly unstoppable (anti-) hero. Lee Van Cleef seems to be particularly amused by the role: as Billy Joe Cudlip, an aging rapscallion and saddle-tramp suddenly become local hero, Cleef relaxes into a role that actually avoids violence whenever possible, who makes comments like, "And no gun play!" Lionel Stander nearly steals the film with his portrayal of "Preacher," an old friend and partner-in-crime of Cleef's: his tongue in cheek performance simultaneously masquerades the "preacher" roles of the classic Westerns and illustrates the tightrope that these minor villains constantly walk--the line between loyalty to each other (and the general desire to do good to most others) and self-interest. Gordon Mitchell is also quite good as the third member of the gang (a sort of low-key "good, bad, and ugly")--an African American whose race is clearly a non-issue to his friends (he avoids playing into the stereotypical roles that Jim Brown in fact is forced to indulge in his own westerns).

            The central theme of the film is one of community vs. outcast and the pain (as well as freedom) that goes with the latter category. Van Cleef is constantly reminded of his marginal status; what separates him from his two companions is the fact that they don't want to become part of community, that the idea of group values are anathema to their sense of a passing time of freedom. But Van Cleef slowly invests in community through the film (most notably through his growing friendship with Antonio Sabato, who plays a rather naïve émigré from Czechoslovakia). Thus, the film's external violence (represented by a "Wild Bunch" of ruthless bandits, led by Gunther Stoll, who want to steal all of the silver in Silver Town-Van Cleef and his friends were content with only a few thousand dollars' worth, which, to their chagrin, they never even get to enjoy) is a reflection of Van Cleef's internal struggle: stick with your old friends (and the values they represent) or join a "lawful" community?

            Giorgio Stegani's direction is sometimes erratic (the movie is awkwardly paced; but Stegani's "A" budget cast and crew makes this his best spaghetti), but Enzo Serafin's photography is excellent and Riz Ortoliani's score achieves a perfect balance between heroism and melodrama. In the end, however, the real reason to watch "Beyond the Law" is Lee Van Cleef. The film is not as good as "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly" or "Day of Anger" or, most importantly, "The Big Gundown" (all of which came out just before this one), but Van Cleef's acting is never better, never more nuanced, and his characterization never more multi-dimensional. It's a tribute to Van Cleef that we too feel the pain of his impossible choice at film's end--even if the overall experience is nowhere near as good as it might have been.

            2 out of 5 stars AN OK ITALIAN WESTERN........2000-06-14

            I bought this movie becuase I thought Bud Spencer was a main character! He is only in it for 10 minutes! Besides that I was entertained! It was a good story about a Checkezlovakian (did i spell it right?) who is payed to come to the united states to deliver some money to James Cooper (Bud Spencer) but a clever thief (Lee Van Cleef) and his buddy (Lionel Stander) steal the money and they are happy but Bud isnt. Strangley the Checkezlovakian becomes good friends with the men who stole his money and he asks thier help to find it! Its and ok movie Not worth paying more than 5 dollars.

            I suggest other westerns like "TODAY ITS ME TOMORROW ITS YOU", "ACE HIGH", MY NAME IS NOBODY" which is one of the best movies ever!, and the "TRINITY" films.
