Lee Van Cleef (1/9/25--12/16/89) began his acting career on Broadway (including a minor part in the original MR. ROBERTS). Lee's first film role was a heavy in the 1952 classic, HIGH NOON (with Gary Cooper). Typecast as a "bad guy" almost from the beginning, Van Cleef appeared over the next 30 years in dozens of American and European-made westerns.
Among the nine films in the LEE VAN CLEEF COLLECTION are his last screen appearance and a sample of a short-lived TV series in which Lee played an aging ninja master.
[[ASIN:B000R7G66I LEGENDARY WESTERNS: Ultimate Collection]], also from St. Clair, consists of 19 films that would ideally supplement this DVD box set.
