Mackintosh and T.J. on Blu-ray (1 Viewer)

[Rodney]

I had no idea this 1975 film was coming out until I happened to see it in the Blu-ray/4K UHD Pre-Order Listing! thread for a May 18, 2021 release. I'm so glad to see this becoming available. First Day Purchase for me!

GOOD NEWS! ROY ROGERS IS BACK!

In his triumphant final film role, Roy Rogers (Lights of Old Santa Fe) stars as Mackintosh, a migrant cowboy traveling across the West Texas plains in his rundown pickup truck. While looking for work breaking horses, Mackintosh befriends T.J. (future ProRodeo Hall of Famer Clay O'Brien), a runaway teen. The two form an unlikely bond and find jobs together at a cattle ranch where Mackintosh impresses the owner with his bronco-taming skills. Trouble, however, is on the horizon, but Mackintosh proves himself as a man who is not afraid to take a stand.

Sweet film, which should not have needed restoration. I doubt ten prints were struck.

By the way, the digital with 4K/DV is available on iTunes.

Watched this tonight. Wasn't sure what to expect from this, but I really enjoyed it. The blu-ray looked great. Biggest surprise was hearing Waylon Jennings on the soundtrack. Wonderful stuff!

Wish the soundtrack was available on CD, I haven't had an 8-track player in a long while.
