Hi All -
Over the 4th of July holiday weekend, I watched "Fort Apache" and "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon" (I'm still awed by that scene with the thunderstorm that Ford captured so well) on Turner Classic Movies. I also, just by chance, caught the last 30 minutes of "The Big Trail" on Fox Movie Channel last evening (in letterbox). I don't have access to programming for this channel, and only found it doing a little channel surfing. I was amazed by the quality of the print and the mountain vistas provided by the widescreen format.
Cheers - Jay

Since most of my JW movies are in VHS format, I have slowly started replacing with DVDs wherever possible or prudent (I won't touch the Goodtimes DVD of "McLintock" - that is inferior and only in full screen format). This weekend, I purchased three DVDs of some of the Duke's later films - "El Dorado," "Rio Lobo" and "Big Jake," in widescreen format, of course. My wife and I watched all three over the Memorial Day weekend and I must say that I am greatly pleased by the quality of the pictures - sharp, with true color and, in widescreen, the outdoor vistas are magnificent. Watching Duke made for a very enjoyable holiday weekend.
Cheers - Jay
