Summary: Do not buy this version!
Review: If you love McLintock! as much as I do, you WON'T buy this version from Good Times Video. The overall quality (picture, focus, screen ratios, etc.) is absolutely awful -- this goes for both their VHS and DVD versions. If I could give it a half star I would.

Apparently, the John Wayne Estate or his family lost control of either the reproduction or marketing rights to McLintock! some years ago, and Good Times took some Scotch brand tape, staples and chewing gum and patched together this awful copy.

The good news is that John Wayne's family authorized a VHS version made from the original master footage, which is excellent. Look for an orange box with the Wayne family authorization printed on the front. Let's hope The Duke's family will work to produce an authorized DVD of McLintock as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: McLintock

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: People, People, People......
Review: I have to say I was very disappointed that this was the pirated version of "McLintock" and not the original, that was used for the DVD release. This is my favorite John Wayne movie. It is so obvious that scenes and lines are missing. I wish they would have used the legal copy, it would have been much better. With that said...."McLintock" is a hilarious look into a rich cattleman's life. Maureen O'Hara plays his wife and she is perfect. When I was younger, I always wanted to be like Mrs. McLintock, so brave and strong. Patrick Wayne is wonderful as a hired hand. There is a fight scene at a clay pit, that will have you rolling on the floor, laughing. The line by John Wayne, "I'm not going to hit you, I'm not going to hit you, the He** I'm not!", it's perfect. There are two scenes with spanking involving grown women that you just have to see to believe.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Poor Quality
Review: I own the VHS version of this movie, and enjoy the film itself immensely. Unfortunately, the Goodtimes company has produced a very poor quality copy of the film. There are many places that have been very obviously manipulated in a modern edit bay with unrealistic zooms and grainy textures. I would buy the DVD version of this movie in a second, if I knew the quality were more akin to the original release of the film.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great Movie; lousy video quality
Review: This is one of my favorite movies, hey, it's a John Wayne flick. Lots of fun, action, and the standard brawl scene. Unfortunately, the video quality is the worst I've seen on a DVD... muddy color, blurry, grainy. I'm not sure if the film was shot widescreen or not, but this DVD is not widescreen. If a new edition came out with the problems corrected, I'd rebuy it. The lack of technical quality gets in the way of the enjoyment of the movie. Were it not for the video quality problems, I'd give it 5 stars.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great Movie; Lousy technical production
Review: McLintock is a great movie for John Wayne fans. Lots of fun, the typical John Wayne brawl, plenty of humor. Chill Wills adds much to the show. Maureen O'Hara is the shrewish wife who the Duke eventually tames. I'd give this movie 5 stars except for the quality of the reproduction, which is really poor. I really love this movie, and if it was reissued with the quality we expect from DVD, I'd probably buy it again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best John Wayne Movie Ever
Review: I watched the original once as a boy and loved every minute of it. Then for some reason the movie just simply disappeared. When the tape came out, I snatched it up. John Wayne shows he can not only be the rough and tough cowboy, but a real comedian also. The supporting cast, Maureen O' Hara, is a perfect opposite of the Duke and fills the screen with fire and sparks that only O' Hara and Wayne can produce. The only down side is the DVD edition. Extremely poor quality and cropped so badly that you miss very important parts of some scenes that are essential to the story line. I would say use the digitally mastered version to make a DVD and put it in letter box so you don't miss one single exciting moment of this unique treasure.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: GREAT MOVIE BAD DVD
Review: A great movie put on dvd badly. They even clipped a small section where they kid Mrs McLintock about the color of her hair. Someday they will make a dvd with evtras but for now settle for this because it is a great movie!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: EXTREMELY FUNNY
Review: I think this is extremely funny. It still shows him as the typical John Wayne with a sense of humor. I hadn't seen it for some years and when I saw it again I laughed as hard as I had the first time.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: McLintock
Review: This DVD's quality is poor at best. As for this John Wayne film, this western ranks as one of my favorites. Unfortunately you will see a better quality version of this if you wait for it to play on WTBS and then tape it with your own VCR (even if you use the oldest tape you own the quality will exceed the DVD).

This DVD was a MAJOR disappointment.
