Run of the arrow, Full length Colour 6 x 400ft

My Brother has decided to part with his full length rare print of Run of the Arrow starring Rod Steiger & Charles Bronson.
While the colour of this print was never very rich there is still some fair colours in this one. The print isn't quite pin sharp, its one of those ones where you focus it and then think maybe a little tweak but then goes annoyingly out of focus so it's a case of get it focused and leave it alone. The sound is pretty good but not to the same standards as Derann or those American 400ft digests, but overall, still pretty good. I cant say i recall seeing another one ever come up for sales but there is, as you probably know, loads of the 4 x 400ft b/w abridged versions.

Here is some info with the help of wiki.
Confederate veteran O'Meara (Steiger) refuses to accept defeat following the surrender of General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox. He renounces his family and the United States, travels west and joins the Native American Sioux tribe, and takes a wife (Sara Montiel).
When the US Army builds a fort on Sioux lands and fighting breaks out between the Army and the Sioux, O'Meara must make a difficult decision.
Production notes
Run of the Arrow was one of the first films to use blood squibs to simulate realistic bullet impacts. The movie was filmed at Snow Canyon and Pine Valley Lake in St. George, Utah which is far from actual Sioux territory.
Originally produced by RKO Radio Pictures, the studio ended its distribution activities before the movie was released.
At the time of its release, critics commented favourably on director Samuel Fuller's decision to concentrate on feet in the "run of the arrow" scene rather than showing the actors in full. Fuller later explained that Steiger had badly sprained his ankle just before the scene was to be shot and was unable to walk, so he had one of the Indian extras run in Steiger's place.
