Hi Bob
I haven't seen the deAgostini copy version of McLintock. Generally their prints tend to be good but I would suspect it is not a remastered version as Batjac made such an effort to enhance their negatives and remove blemishes, color fade and scratches etc.
Play.com are selling enhanced edition for £3.99 at present and it does have a lot of extras.

Hi Ringo
The quality of DVD print is much superior to public domain copies. That alone justifies buying but the extras are a bonus.

The official version now available in Region 1 & 2 are the only versions to buy. The other cheap public domain prints knocking about are really awful and only fit for the bin.

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?
