Format:DVD
'McLintock' is one of John Wayne's funniest films. It is on a par with 'The Quiet Man'. It is also one of my favourite films. The comments that follow in no way reflect on the film itself. My major gripe is just how hacked about and poor the quality of this DVD is. There is at least 30 minutes missing from this DVD, the colour looks like the contrast is going from one end of the spectrum to the other and the sound is inconsistent. Watching this film on the DVD's that are currently available will just give you a migraine (not to mention a tin ear). The DVD editions to avoid are the ones issued by 'Delta, LaserLight, GoodTimes, and RSS Pictures'. My advice is to either go for the VHS edition which is authorised by the John Wayne Estate or wait for an authorised DVD version.

Format:DVD
The Film itself I rate A1. It is one of John Wayne's most humourest and best. Unfortunately the producers of the DVD have chosen to delate a large proportion of the film out, thereby killing it's appeal.The Original Film is 121 minutes long; the DVD only 90 minutes. In the Original John Wayne's off the screen son Patrick provides his Father-In-Law to be (JW) with an example of how to manage a wife-to-be, JW's on screen Daughter (Stephanie Power). The majority of this has been cut from the DVD, plus much more. In the closing of the Film Wayne takes his S-I-L's way of sorting things, with similar actions as in Wayne's 'Quiet Man', bringing his on screen Wife 'Maureen O'Hara' to Heel. Without the full Patrick Wayne/Stephanie Power influance the Film is well below par. There is no excuse for 'short changing' customers with DVD productions. Surely one of the advantages of going 'DVD' is to provide the custumer with as much material as possible, and at the very least the full film that did the rounds at the Cinema.

A word of warning for those about to buy 'McLintock' from the John Wayne collection. The film itself is excellent and portrays once more the special Wayne/O'Hara screen magic(for further insights read Maureen O'Hara's recent autobiography). However,the film is ruined by the abysmal quality of the DVD itself. The opening credits are so blurred as to be all but indecipherable and some passages of the film look as though they have been recorded on a home video camera.It is quite disgraceful to foist such a shoddy product onto the open market and the distributors should be ashamed of themselves. DON'T BUY IT.

Disappointing DVD quality
For all fans of The Duke and Maureen O'Hara this is one of their best comedic films. However the DVD is of very poor quality - very disappointing.

this is the version to buy
this is the official release by Paramount, the quality of print and sound is wonderful, and knocks the other versions (using public domain prints) into a cocked hat. Read more
