Summary: McLintock - VHS version
Review: I agree with everyone else who said it was poor quality. The movie originally was great. Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne are wonderful together. Unfortunately the tape was very snowy and was very hard to enjoy. It really looked like someone taped it off a really bad tv. I am going to buy the estate version and hopefully it will be better.

Summary: Poor print leading to lousy transfer to DVD
Review: McLintock is a great comedy/western; the casting is perfect and the script intelligent and witty. However, Good Times Video treated this excellent movie with tremendous disrespect and cheated buyers of this DVD badly. The ancient Greek saying of
"caveat emptor" or "let the buyer beware" fits well here.
Anytime you see that the DVD comes from Good Times Video I highly recommend that you pass purchasing that item. Hopefully a REAL version of McLintock will be released by John Wayne's estate soon. This movie was not one of John Wayne's favorites and was released late for being such a good movie. Hopefully this had nothing to do with the estate of Mr. Wayne in releasing a crisp (and letter box) version.

Summary: A sad disappointment
Review: Everyone who has written about the poor transfer is correct. It's a disgrace. I watched three minutes of it, just past the opening credits, and gave up. Even the opening credits were blurry, and there were so many lines and streaks as to make it unwatchable. I'll be more careful in what I buy in the future. No more GoodTimes DVDs for me.Ugh!!!!!!!

Summary: Great Movie destroyed by Goodtimes
Review: I agree with everyone who has commented about Goodtimes DVDs. You could do better with an old 8MM camera version of the movie being aired on TBS.I have a copy made from the original movie prior to VHS release, and like the estate version, I wish someone would do a DVD letterbox that every Wayne fan could really enjoy.

Summary: Terrible transfer to DVD--poor image quality, no letterbox.
Review: This is a fine John Wayne film but much of it is missing in this DVD version. This film appears to have been transferred to DVD by simply capturing the center 4:3 portion of the picture. I don't know what the original aspect ratio of the film was, but there are a very noticeable number of scenes on this DVD in which the actors' faces are not visible because they are off the edge of the screen. In other words, they didn't use pan-and-scan. In addition, the image quality is not too good. I noticed what seemed to be grainy artifacts from the video compression process. Some scenes were out of focus. This could have been from the original film but I doubt it. The film this DVD was transferred from is very scratched. I hope there is a better copy of the film around and that a real DVD manufacturer makes a quality letterboxed version.

Summary: Great film but Madacy and Goodtimes are horrid
Review: Madacy and Goodtimes VHS tapes and DVDs are low quality ... Do not buy them. They look worse than taping off tv or if the look ok they sound like an old cassette recording with metallic squeals. I have the VHS (not Goodtimes) that was put out by John Wayne's estate. It is gorgeous. I wish they would do the DVD too. :( I love this film, and want to buy it on DVD but Goodtimes and Madacy are truly so bad that it looks like a pirated copy from off tv. ... If you have to have this movie as I did. Buy this VHS. It is waaay better in quality.

Summary: Humor is allowed
Review: Perhaps some people give this a low rating because it is not a typical "Wayne western". It is a warm and funny film with Wayne and O'Hare showing their chemistry.

Summary: This Must Be A Pirated Version
Review: Although I LOVE the movie "McLintock!", I HATED this particular version. It looks as if it had been produced in someone's basement by recording the movie from a television screen and putting it onto a DVD. I wish I had read the other reviews before I bought the DVD, as they all agree with me. (I will be returning it immediately!) DO NOT PURCHASE THE GOODTIMES DVD VERSION. It is AWFUL!! Look for another version at your local DVD store. The movie itself is hilarious!!

Review: The quality of this addtion is very poor and it is not near as good as the Family autherized copy. It is not centered right and some seens are out of focus and I was very disappointed. I have searched for the better copy and have not been able to find it. If you have a copy please e-mail me thank you (I have a copy on VHS)
