So do I get it right that you have the 35mm?
How's the condition?
I guess collectors would be very interested in that one.

Would you think Howard Hughes owned those films on 35 or 16mm and somebody transferred to video or how would they get in this lot?

So it's really buried in the Batjac vault. You know, you read about this classic in many books written about western films - but you never get a chance to see it! I guess the same would be true about his "Bullfighter and the Lady" which is a classic in his own right, and in which - again! - John Wayne played a vital part in putting Boetticher in the director's chair. John Ford helped to cut the film - although Boetticher in later years complained that Ford's cutting down the lenght cost him the academy award for directing. Anybody seen "Bullfighter" or knows where to get it?

anybody ever seen it? anybody knows where to get it?

This one has been hailed as one of the greatest westerns of all time.
It was produced by John Wayne's Batjac, his brother was the producer, his old pal Randy Scott the star, Wayne gave director Budd Boetticher his big break with this one and he saw to it that the role of the female went to Gail Russell. Lee Marvin also stars. This was the breakthrough for Wayne's future star-director Burt Kennedy as well, who wrote the script. So where the heck is it??? Batjac holds the rights and I believe it has not been seen in public since the first release in '56, apart from some special screenings at film schools honoring Boetticher.
