Blood on the Moon is indeed, a black and white picture that is actually a"noir" western of late 40,s type. It contains a good story ,humour ,romance,action ,and very good acting.There are many dark scenes that would make the colorization process hideous at best. I think with it's sharp contrasts it would be nice on DVD for use on big screens. Great Cast! great dialog! One of my favorites!

The characters come alive and you can't help but getting engrossed in the story. It comes from a Luke Short novel of which I've read many,beats the spurs of the newer 70,s. No "B" western , this one.No painted scenery like Bonanza.
