John Wayne's Hondo on DVD

Two John Wayne Movies are being released this Tuesday (Oct 11, 05) on DVD for the first time. Hondo and McLintock. Both films are owned by BATJACK , John Wayne’s own production Company. Michael Wayne held on to them after his dad died and felt they would get more valuable as time went on. However most of us John Wayne fans are not getting any younger and so it was time to release them while the fan base was still alive. If you check my post below there is a link to a picture of Michael Wayne’s Widow giving John Wayne’s hat from Hondo to the Smithsonian Institute. There was an unauthorized (not by Wayne family) DVD of McLintock released a few years ago but the quality of the copy was almost unmatchable. In fact I started to watch it but quit because it looked like someone recoded it off TV with a VCR. NOW, when are they going to release Fort Apache? It’s one of the John Ford directed Cavalry Trilogy along with She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and Rio Grande both of which are on DVD. Hondo and McLintock will be available here in Oregon at Fred Meyer on Tuesday for $7.50 each.
