Summary: Fear not! The Duke is coming Spring , 2005!
Review: Okay, everybody agrees that this DVD's quality from those good folks at Goodtimes Home Video ranks right up there with Pacific Family Entertainment. Only good for the shredder. But alas, with the sad passing of the Duke's son, Michael Wayne, Batjac Productions will finally be releasing McLintock! and many other great JW films sometime the Spring of 2005. So hold off on this piece of digital nonsensical matter and keep an eye out for the real thing. Check out "The High And The Mighty" here on Amazon.com to get more details on upcoming John Wayne DVD releases.

Summary: The movie is fantastic! Not this DVD Version!
Review: Reading other reviews on this and wanted to let you know the reasoning for the bad quality of the DVD. This is not the authorized version of the movie. The authorized version released by Batjac (Wayne's production company) will have an orange cover. The blue cover is not authorized.

Summary: Great film. Awful DVD!
Review: Somebody just please tell me why studio execs keep doing this? They take a great film that needs to be on DVD. But instead of actually taking the time to make it look good like the film deserves, they put out a very inferior production.
The movie on it's own is a classic. Amusing story. Great acting. But the DVD transfer looks like the master copy of this movie came from a tape that somebody picked off a 99 cents rack at Dollar General. Then they took the tape and recorded it off tv. The picture quality of this movie is petheticly awful. It is so grainy and ugly. I think I could record it off tv and get a better quality picture than this!
Also it looks like somebody tried to make the movie closed captioned or something. Because you will see somebody speaking who is almost off screen, but you do get to see their lips! Sad, so sad.......Bottom Line:
Great movie. But unless you HAVE to have it on DVD, then I recommend not wasting your money. When will the studios get the point that putting a movie on DVD needs to have more done to it than a transfer!

Summary: Love in the Country. (rotten media)
Review: The star system is for the movie not the media witch can be explained here. So any review with fewer stars implies that the movie is not top notch. If you think the DVD is bad wait until you get the "Goodtimes Home Video" VHS version. It is dark and cut weird and missing some of the periphery. There are better commercial VHS tape versions available. However the Good times people are the ones that use the longest playing mode and aim a camera at the TV set. The tape is just enough for the movie. They make great covers. The one star is for this product. George Washington McLintock (John Wayne) is one of the early cattlemen that helped tame the west. He has a report with the Indians and owns most of the town. Farmers who were given government land are invading the town. He hires a young widow as a cook. Home from the state capital is his separated wife, Katherine (Maureen O'Hara) and daughter (a young Stefanie Powers). There is an interesting mix of relationships and politics. Most of all it is down right funny. The movie its self is top notch FIVE STAR. John Wayne used most of his standard crew and that formula plot that makes his movies great. The mud fight is one of the best parts they imported the mud for the scene. See John and Maureen again in The Quiet Man (1952) ASIN: 6302320496.

Summary: McLintock Review
Review: This is a rather entertaining western based on the Taming of the Shrew. The star studded cast makes this an enjoyable movie to watch.

Summary: Great Movie, Horrible DVD Read Reviews
Review: While this is one of my all time favorites I made the mistake of not reading the reviews of the product. Horrible video transfer. Stay away, do not buy.
