BTW, how does it look?

Lucky you, you have it on the way. Maybe 20 minutes into it, a bathroom break, check email & bd.com. Best John Wayne BD I've seen since The Searchers PQ wise, but far superior audio. I'd say this is the best John Wayne movie on blu-ray yet for overall quality.

$20US at Wal-Mart. That and The Hustler. Not a bad price. Now I just need some money!

I was hoping Wal*Mart would have them for 20.00 each they seem to get most of the classic Fox title Digibook releases

These are available at Wally-World? I hate Wal-Mart, but may have to pay it a visit.

How do you spell

3rd paragraph- https://forum.blu-ray.com/insider-di...ml#post4370646

b.t.w., as an aside, many frequent fliers believe (and rightfully so) that the best airport to fly in and out of in SoCal for those who desire to visit Southern California, is John Wayne Airport in Orange County, just minutes from Disneyland and away from the freeway traffic of the LA area .

Also, FWIW, John Wayne was a *tough guy* not just in the movies, but in real life too...as back in the day (before my competitive time on two-wheeled machines in the desert), unbeknownst to many movie fans, he rode with the Checkers , a rather famous Motorcycle Club. Such invites, even for celebrities, are/were not granted unless the person can actually ride…and ride well.

Ah, interesting - so Fox commissioned Sony to do the restoration work for The Comancheros. Well, Fox and Sony are the two studios I'll place pre-orders for catalog releases with confidence, before reading any reviews or member comments. Usually Paramount as well. But with Warner I prefer to wait for reviews, and absolutely will not buy any Universal catalog release until I've read a couple reviews.

Yes, he was a tough guy in real life as well. Also very conservative, and active in the Republican Party and the John Birch Society and often condemned Communism. Despite being a fan of Wayne's movies, Joseph Stalin ordered Wayne's assassination due to his strong anti-communist politics. Stalin died before the killing could be accomplished. His successor, Nikita Khrushchev, reportedly told Wayne during a 1959 visit to the United States that he had personally rescinded the order.

My politics is about the polar opposite of John Wayne's, but I grew up loving his movies and admiring him. I grew up in Ohio and his Westerns made me want to live in the American West. I've lived in Colorado, California, Nevada and now Arizona, so I got my wish.

haha Duke, could've have said it any better

I picked this up at my local Best Buy. I have never seen the movie, but after watching about 20 minutes worth so far, it seems to be a good movie and the PQ is far better then I thought it would be. I'm very surprised.

[Arkadin]

definitely need to get out and get this.
I was at a Wal-Mart--which I thought would have this--but surprisingly they didn't.
that store had the last Fox digibooks on release day.

Could you check if there are hidden subtitles or subtitles not mentioned in the review, such as Portuguese? Thx in advance.
