High Plains Drifter (1973)

Very quickly: Clint Eastwood rides into the town of Lago, kills a few people, gets hired to protect the town against three revenge-seeking gunmen (in exchange to free rein in Lago), stuff happens, Clint kills the gunmen. Clint may or may not be (but probably is) the ghost of a Sherrif the gunmen - at the request of the townfolk - had previously whipped to death coming to seek revenge.

In some ways an slightly twisted version of High Noon, with the cowardly townfolk always getting others to do their dirty work. Also has elements of Warlock, in the sense that a gunman protects a town in exchange for control over it. Allegedly also takes heavily from Django The Bastard (the revenging ghost), but I haven't seen that so couldn't comment. It's mostly pretty good - if a little unsubtle in places, although clearly it's meant to be - although possibly a little unoriginal. The major weakness I think is the Clint Eastwood school of gender studies, which tends to date a lot of his 70s films.

[On the subject of gender studies, Marriane Hill doesn't have a lot to do here, and does have some badly bleeched hair, but I've had a thing for her even since the Star Trek episode "Dagger of the Mind" where she'd almost slept with Captain Kirk at the Enterprise lab Christmas party, so all is good]

The UK DVD looks to be a reasonable reproduction of the film, although there's a few dirt and spots, especially on the credit bits. A few scenes looked slightly out of focus, but I suspect that's in the original.
