Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
The McMasters is a 1970 American Western film directed by Alf Kjellin and starring Burl Ives, Brock Peters, David Carradine and Nancy Kwan. Producer Monroe Sachson had made The Incident with Brock Peters and the two were looking around for another film to make together. The budget was around $2 million. The film was shot in New Mexico. The film was cut by the US distributors, Chevron Pictures, and Peters, the writer and producer asked to have their names removed from the film. Ultimately, two versions of the film were released. For its NYC debut, it played in two different theatres, one showing the cut version, the other showing the director's cut. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
