I assume its reffering to the 65mm Grandeur process that the film was shot in.

Re: FOX WESTERNS ON MAY - And Gunfighter is among them!!!!!
Wow! Finally, the letterboxed version of THE BIG TRAIL!!! Check the imdb.com for the details on the history of this extraordinary film. When it first came out on VHS, I recalled that there were some scenes dubbed in German with English subtitles. Is/was there really a 158 minute 70 mm version? If ever a dvd mandated an historical commentary, this is it!!! Bravo, Fox!!!!

I'm right there for every one of these. Well done Fox; fingers crossed for a few well chosen extras.
So many films, so little time...

That is the assumption I would make about this release.

It's still early so more details might come out later, but it doesn't look like there will be any extras for the Western Classics collection. However, we're getting three excellent westerns in a collection with a MSRP of $19.98 which means some of us should be able to get it for $13.99 from places like Amazon.
DVD Empire - Item - Western Classics, The / DVD-Video
Now, "The Big Trail" appears to have some extras including some docs and this release is listed for $19.98 too.

Re: FOX WESTERNS ON MAY - And The Gunfighter is among them!!!!!
DEAR FOX,
FIRST, THANK YOU FOR THESE RELEASES!!!!!!!
SECOND, PLEASE INCLUDE THE 1957 REMAKE FROM THE 20TH CENTURY FOX HOUR TV EPISODE, "END OF A GUN", AS A SUPPLEMENT TO THE RELEASE OF THE GUNFIGHTER!!!!!!!
THE FILM STARS RICHARD CONTE AND WAS WRITTEN BY SAM PECKINPAH AND IS BOTH OF HISTORICAL INTEREST AND DESERVING OF INCLUSION FOR BOTH OF THESE REASONS. IT IS ALSO A VERY ENJOYABLE FILM!
