    Dodge City (1939) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Absolutely agree about that particular sound of gunshots in WB movies. I remember when my brother and I, in about 1969 or 70, turned on the TV in our family room, and encountered 1959's The FBI Story, starring Jimmy Stewart, somewhere in midstream. When a scene soon came along that featured a...

    Dodge City (1939) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Mark I also wanted to thank you for those screen shots. I went on Amazon and did the pre-order for the blu on Sunday. BTW, looking at one of those screenshots made me think about something that first came to mind while watching a TCM presentation of They Died With Their Boots On, but I'm not...

    Dodge City (1939) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I also found Edge of Darkness to be quite engrossing when I caught a showing of it on TCM last year. It's a little interesting to me that whether Errol Flynn played in a relatively light hearted film like The Adventures of Robin Hood, or in a much more serious film like Edge of Darkness, he...

    Dodge City (1939) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Thank you. That's some fascinating background stuff. Do you mean that some silent films got the whole roadshow treatment, with reserved seats sold. If that's the case, it's another thing that I had never imagined.

    ^^ Yes, there was certainly a strong similarity between father and son.

    Now that's interesting. I'd known that Alan Hale had been in a lot of Flynn's movies, and a ton of Warner Bros. films, overall. But I had no idea that he had first played the role of Little John, way back in 1922, in what had to have been a silent Robin Hood film. Never even remember reading...

    Dodge City (1939) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I'm not a Flynn fanatic, but definitely a fan. Tomorrow at 1:00 PM EST (Thursday 3/12) "They Died With Their Boots On" the 1941 film that stars Errol Flynn as George Armstrong Custer, will be shown on TCM. In addition to Dodge City, it's another Errol Flynn movie that I've never seen. That will...

    Dodge City (1939) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Very cool news. Have somehow always managed to not catch any of Dodge City's TV showings. But knowing that Errol Flynn starred in the film, and that he was a Warner Brothers contract player, upon seeing the announcement of the Blu-ray on HTF, I immediately said "far out" to myself, because of...
