The Searchers (1956) (2 Viewers)

[Angelo Colombus]

It's my least favorite of Ford/Wayne "Cavalry Trilogy' movies. It's a good movie, but, I enjoy "Fort Apache" and "Rio Grande" more with their black and white cinematography.

Fort Apache and Rio Grande are good films too and have Rio Grande on my shelf.

By the way, I've been meaning to watch the new Olive release of "Rio Grande" for weeks now. I might rectify that situation later today.

Agree to disagree.

They are all solid films, but I tend to prefer Hoch's technicolor work on She Wore A Yellow Ribbon. There is some really wonderful imagery in this particular film. Ironically, Hoch's work on The Searchers did not receive an Academy Award nomination and it is that film that made the American Society of Cinematographer's Top 100 list.

Yah. Me too. I thought it was good not great.

Let me know if it’s worth an upgrade

IMO, the camerawork in the two black and white movies are just as good if not more impressive than on She Wore a Yellow Ribbon.

I watched it with the audio commentary, but didn't compare the video presentation to the previous BD. I do know this BD has a lot more bonus material. IMO, the video presentation is very good, but, I'm really not in the mood to start doing comparisons between the two different BD releases. I bought the second release for the bonus material because I'm a huge Wayne and Ford fan.

Yeah. I wound up buying it today for the same reason.

Which film are you referring to regarding the bonus material?

I hope WB releases a 4K UHD for 2021 ! It's the 65th Anniversary !!

LINK: The Searchers (1956) Video Comparison

Note how the unmatted transfer reveals set lighting and the edges of studio backdrops that wouldn’t be seen in normal projection with proper matting, yet the initial video releases on LaserDisc and VHS exposed more than the creators’ had intended. IIRC these were seen as flubs in some books that documented such things, which I don’t think is fair as they would not have been seen if matted as intended.

I wish it were only still 10 cents. $95.00 used on eBay is a little too rich for my blood.

I used to have the Spanish version of the comic. Literal translation of the Spanish title: More Heart than Hate.
