unprepossessing - Not overtly impressive; unremarkable; nondescript

Just in case anybody was wondering . . .

We pulled McLintock! off the shelf this evening, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Especially the wonderful quality of the Batjac-sanctioned release of this film on DVD. WHAT a difference! Our son inadvertently pulled the Good Times version out of a boxed set (which has a couple of documentaries worth keeping), and about 30 seconds into the movie, he said, "This is AWFUL!" We got the 'authorized' version in the player, and settled down to a pleasant time.

I hear your on that Goodtimes version. As soon as the authorized version of the movie was announced I threw my bad copy away. Mine didn't have any documentaries so it was not a big deal.

On a side note, has anyone watched the movie with the commentaries turned on? I did and Maureen O'Hara and Stephanie Powers gave their insight from time to time. It was very intersting to watch.

You are correct, Duke slaps him on the butt when he says the bulls name....it's the opening scene as he comes out of the house to get into the carriage.

Hey Dexter got it....can't catch anyone on this board. Good work........

Does anyone remember the name of the horse the Jerry Van Dyke rode (while drunk) in the race during the 4th of July festival?

I will wait a few days and see if anyone get's it. I know you can watch it, but try and see if you remember. I watched it last night and picked up on it. It's amazing, I have watched that movie atleast 20 times, probably more like 30 and I just now picked that up from the movie.

Hello, John Wayne fans!
Are there any other xtras out there who have worked in any of his films? Would love to hear from you . . .
I've uploaded a webpage with comments of my experience working on the set of McLintock. If you're interested: http://homepage.mac.com/jannb8/wayne

Thanks for the memories. I can only wish that I was there. Glad you decided to make a website to share your experiences.

You're right Badger, always a fan favorite and it always seems to get played at my house 6-8 times a year.

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.
