Summary: McClintock DVD is of very poor quality
Review: I have previously purchased this movie on video casette. It was the authorized version by the Wayne family and is of excellant quality. I looked forward to viewing this movie on DVD, but was very disappointed in the quality of the Good Times edition. The sound quality is that of an old print of a black and white 1930's western. It is scratchy and very annoying to listen to. This wasn't a digitally remastered print of the original film. Good Times simply copied an old out of date print of the film onto DVD. The picture quality is poor with lines and evidence of the wear and tear of countless theater and TV viewings. I would suggest that anyone wanting to purchase a DVD of this film wait until a reputable company releases an authorized version that can be enjoyed. I certainly felt ripped off after watching ten minutes of this DVD.

Summary: Comment about video versions
Review: If you think that some video versions of this film sound strange, you're probably right. Somehow, the rights to the movie (probably non-exclusive rights) were sold in the late 80's or early 90's. However the rights did NOT include the music, requiring the entire sound track to be recorded with new music and actors. So buyer beware,

Summary: GREAT MOVIE, AWFUL SOUND!
Review: Words cannot express how disappointed I am by the quality of this tape. Expecting the wonderful movie that so many know and love, I purchased this video only to discover on the back of the video sleeve that this is an edited version of the original. That's fine, but what these people did is unacceptable! They deleted all the original music, including background music, plus they deleted voices, and background sounds and replaced them! I could not even recognize John Wayne's drawl, (I don't think it's even his voice) and Maureen O'Hara's brogue has been replaced with the voice of someone else! On top of that, the timing is way off! I ended up turning the sound off and watching the movie in silence. Still a wonderful view, but for someone who went so far as to name her daughter "Kathryn" after the spirited character O'Hara plays, I am thoroughly disgusted. This change should be noted in the description for those of us who care about quality.

Summary: McLintock - Great movie...buy the AUTHORIZED version!
Review: I've been a McLintock fan since 1963...when it came out to the movies. My dad took me to see it on my 11th birthday. I held off buying the VHS version once I discovered the Wayne Foundation had not released an "authorized" copy. Once it did, I purchased three...just in case one got damaged! Yes...I love the movie. For DVD customers....it IS worth the wait. If, as you can see from other reviews, the transfer quality to DVD is poor, then why waste your money now, when you can (HOPEFULLY!!) purchase the legitimate product when the Wayne Foundation releases it! This is a GREAT movie for all ages. Kids love the shenanigans, teens like the romance, and us old-timers just like an easy-on-the-eyes and -ears movie with a happy ending. This is the only movie review I've ever written, but the movie was worth it.

Summary: Good movie. Bad DVD.
Review: I love this move. In fact, this is probably my favorite JW movie besides "The Cowboys." I hate the DVD transfer! The quality looks like it was recorded straight from the old film reels without any restoration at all. I have seen much beter quality versions on tape and even TV. If you really want this DVD, then get it because it is fairly cheap, but remember, you get what you pay for.

Summary: This is an unauthorized version of this movie.
Review: This is from the VHS version that came in a blue box. It was not from the Wayne family who has the authorized version, which came out in VHS in a yellowish box. I believe this is from an old pan and scan version that this company released before the authorized version. That is my membory of the situation. That is probably the problem with the video transfer.

Summary: Movie Great - DVD transfer a nightmare
Review: Just to chime in with the rest of the reviews - This is the worst transfer ever. I have the VHS and it is better than the DVD. Stop this madness with the rush to market DVDs. Do it right or don't do it at all!!!

Summary: Superlative movie-poor quality transfer to DVD
Review: One of my all time favorite movies. Was hoping it would come out on DVD. However, very poor transfer to DVD. Quite possibly the poorest quality DVD I have ever seen. I realize that I might just have received a bad one, buyer beware.

Summary: Always fun to watch!
Review: McLintock! is always a fun movie to watch. Filled with clever humour and entertainment. No doubt one of the best western comedies ever.

Summary: A fun movie.
Review: Classic taming of the shrew out west. Reteams the Duke and Maureen O'Hara. They are outstanding together. (Rio Grande, The Quiet Man) Good cast plays it tongue in cheek throughout. My wife sure could pass on the spanking stuff. It does feel uncomfortable le in these times. The mud-slide scene still cracks me up.
