Hi Keith
I just watched a poor quality copy of this and from what I could make out it was a good film. Shame we cannot get better quality copies of these early Ford and JW films - there are plenty of prints as you point out - and plenty of fans to buy the DVDs.
I keep writing to the copyright holders but have yet to receive a reply from any of them.
And I noticed on TCM forums there are clickable links to lobby the likes of Fox to release what they have.
