McLintock! (1963)

[Emmanuel]

Hi Fayso 1332

I am sure that others have already welcomed
you to this wonderful JWMB, but let me add my
own when I say. Welcome to the best place to
be when it comes to all things John Wayne.

As for your question about McLintock. I have
a a wide screen DVD copy from the John Wayne
Collection from Paramount. It also contains Special
features and over 2 1/2 hours of exclusive commentaries.
I get all of my DVD's from Amazon. I hope this helps you.

Best wishes

Emmanuel.

Fayso,

May I add a welcome to this great message board. This movie mentioned above from Paramount Pictures Inc. is issued from the Wayne family. It is a great quality of movie in widescreen format. We've talked about this for a long time before it came out back October 15, 2005. We have been on fire with it every since. You may find it at your video store but as Emmanuel and ejgreen77 you can order it from Amazon.com

Cheers B)

Like the others have mentioned, they finally released the authorized version last year and it is perfect. Look for it in a "white" dvd packaging. I have seen it at Best Buy and Target in the past coupel weeks. And like the others said you can get it at Amazon or you can try Deep Discount DVD.

On another note, welcome to the site and I know you will enjoy your time here.

You all my want to smack me in the ass but I just bought a wide screen copy of McLintock from walmart for 5 bucks and it is excellent, much better than the beat VHS copy I bought at a yard sale 6 years ago and have made it smoke more than once however that thing will still play great back up I say

[Fayso1332]

Thanks alot for the answers, I knew I could count on the folks here.

If Duke were alive today he would love to keep this most un-pc picture around just to raise their ier.

Hello all
This member has been waiting for over a year to get some feedback on her question. Considering today is her birthday I was hoping someone could offer some information regarding her question of pay equity on a set ( see post that proceeds this one)

I wish I could help Maudy out with that one Kilo, but I've read many of Duke's bio's and don't remember coming across something like that. That isn't to say it's not true, rather that I don't remember. I hope someone can bring up something for her though. Good Luck.

Howdy all,
I wish I could give a definite answer as to whether or not what Maudy heard was true. Unfortunately I can't. I have never heard that particular story, but I have heard similar ones, from both sides of the fence. I think I can, however, say that Duke was definitely not a racist. He did not approve of the socialist leanings of the welfare system (cradle to grave socialism he called it), and he did not approve of the government putting anyone on the dole, who was able to work and support themselves, but would not. I think, based on what I've read about him, that if he did hear of a group of workers (regardless of their race) that were being openly discriminated against simply because of their race, he would have said and/or done something about it. Exactly what, I couldn't say. I know this doesn't really answer the question, but I hope it helps.
Best to All,
Colorado Bob

Hi

John Ford ensured that all ethnic races worked on his pictures and ensured that they had the same living conditions and received the same pay.

I don't think it would be too unreasonable to assume that having seen ford at work come to regard the old man like a father that John Wayne would put Ford's views in practice wherever he worked.

Hi All

Recently purchased the Region 1 version of Mc Lintock. The difference between the Offiical Region1 and the Public Domain Region 2 versions in Europe is Mindblowing.


Absolutely superb. Definitely go for it if you have a multi region dvd player.

Out of interest does anyone know how this film fell into public domain as I would have thought the rights would have still been with Batjac?

Hi,
I too have Region 2 version always worring about it poor quality and thinking about purchasing new official version. Besides it has many interesting features.
