Summary: movie = 4* picture quality =2*
Review: I like this movie quite a bit and find it humours and sentimental in many ways. The DVD picture quality was very poor, to the point of distraction.

Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne are like flint and steel, when they get together watch out the sparks are going to fly. Stephanie Powers is recognizable as their daughter and the rest of the actors and actresses are well cast. The plot though thin is kept lively by the antics of the whole town. I'm not sure we ever really find out what the burr is under Katie's saddle when it comes to McIntock. I think she just forgets from whence she came and he didn't.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Good film - Poor Transfer
Review: Goodtimes DVD transfer was obviously from a poor quality copy. Watching this version was like watching the movie in a matinee after the film had been shown a hundred times (accept that this version is a standard screen pan and scan version). You can see the film's imperfections, spots, vertical scratch lines. Some scenes even seem a bit out of focus. The color isn't too bad for a bargain video, except in a few scenes that seem washed out. I've always liked the movie and hope it is eventually released in a much better version. Buy the Goodtimes version only if you really love this film and you buy it at a really bargain price.

Summary: Could've told you...
Review: When McClintock (my fave Wayne movie, by the way) came out on VHS, there was a big controversy because "Goodtime" video released it in such bad shape. About a week after they released it, John Wayne's son who had produced the movie, said that Goodtime had released it without his permission. He then released a much better version. BOTTOM LINE: DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM GOODTIME, ESPECIALLY THIS MOVIE. HOPE THAT WAYNE'S SON WILL RELEASE HIS VERSION ON DVD!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: BAD COPY
Review: This particular product (not the authorized version) of the was a very grainy copy, the copy was blotchy like it had been posterized. Also several scenes are missing.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Mclintock
Review: While this is an older movie,it is a very good one that will entertain people even today. If you are a John Wayne or a Maureen O'Hara fan this movie is a must!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mclintock
Review: The movie itself is excellent, probably one of John Waynes best. The quality of the video is very poor. Video apprears to be a multiple generation copy.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Goodtimes transfer as bad as it gets
Review: For all of you who got a DVD player for the digital quality, you will not find it here. Avoid the Goodtimes release and spend the extra $5-10 for the "Authorized by the Wayne Estate" version and you will not be sorry. The picture quality of the Goodtimes is not only poor and grainy, there are certain spots in the movie where a zoom effect takes place. I have seen this movie dozens of times on tape and if I had a choice between VHS and Goodtimes DVD, I would watch the tape. My family and I all love this movie but the Goodtimes version definitely was returned for refund at the store where purchased.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: McLintock!
Review: The DVD is of very low quality due to the use of an old unrepaired master film. It is also in the pan/scan format for TV. If you want to see this movie in it's best form, watch it on Turner Classic in the cleaned up wide screen format.

I give this DVD 2 thumbs down.

Summary: Example of Poor Tape Quality Wrecking a Good Movie
Review: This is the GoodTimes Home Video VHS. It looks like it was recorded in the back of a movie theatre with a guy holding a camcorder, then copied, packaged and sent them out. There are white vertical lines, white dots, color changes and words don't line with lips sometimes. (It's not my vcr!!! The Searchers movie is awesome as well as my other 60+ home videos) I do like the movie, (I always have) Good John Wayne quotes as always. This is more of a comedy role for John Wayne with wild west flavor. But don't buy this version of tape by this company..find another!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY
Review: I love this movie and I was hoping for a good DVD version which wouldn't get tired like VHS. WRONG. The quality of the cut is very poor, with many white and dark bits flashing and hanging around on the screen, similar to VHS drop-outs and a dirty film projector. While some of the sceens are sharp many look like a third generation VHS copy. Even all of that could be forgiven, or at least tollerated, for the inexpensive price I paid, but this movie screams for widescreen, or at least a good pan and scan, this cut has a fixed center frame, often with two noses or a nose and an ear talking to each other!!! I have an old, tired, VHS cut, with minutes missing, but a good pan and scan which I took off broadcast TV and will continue to watch instead of this DVD.
