Which Classic Westerns would you like to see Remastered to Blu-Ray? (1 Viewer)

Hud (1963).

 

[Ed Lachmann]

Two I'd love: Westward the Women and The Big Sky. Also, two silent "kinda westerns" Greed and The Wind.

Curious what you mean about "3D effect" scenes in McKenna's Gold.

I would definitely like to see a great many of the actual 3-D Westerns of the 1950s remastered.

Most notably
The Charge at Feather River (Guy Madison)
Hondo (John Wayne)
Fort Ti (George Montgomery)
The Stranger Wore a Gun (Randolph Scott)
The Moonlighter (Barbara Stanwyck, Fred McMurray)
The Bounty Hunter (Randolph Scott)
Southwest Passage (John Ireland, Joanne Dru)

The "3D effect" maybe because it was intended to be a Cinerama film?

I would also like to see any of the 1950's 3D titles released in 3D.

SEVEN MEN FROM NOW

 

[Brian Alan B]

Would LOVE to get a copy of the 3D version of John Waynes Hondo.

 

[Interdimensional]

Hondo is particularly galling, as a 3D DCP already exists.

That was a major missed opportunity. It could've been one of the go to showcase titles back when 3dtvs were hitting an affordable pricepoint. It would've opened a lot of eyes.

Oh well.

It doesn't technically belong on the list since from what I've seen their master looks particularly good. I just need to see it in 3-D. I'm sure a limited edition release would sell out fast.

Fort Ti

That's with Warner Brothers and they haven't released a 1950's 3-D title in five years.

Would LOVE to get a copy of the 3D version of John Waynes Hondo.

The 3D Film Archive future announced releases are below. Maybe after they are released we will hear of new titles.

Flesh For Frankenstein
Revenge of the Shogun Women
Robot Monster
Jack and the Beanstalk.
The Abbott and Costello
Treasure of The Four Crowns
The Diamond Wizard
The Bubble Road Show

Fort Ti is a Columbia title. It should be with Sony, along with other William Castle 3-D titles Jesse James Vs The Daltons and Drums of Tahiti.

Sony also has The Nebraskan.

The “Missus” wants me to mention Gary Cooper’s 1926 lost western “The Wolf Song”…

 

[Waldo Lydecker]

Whoops…1929 actually…

 

[Bert Greene]

"Wolf Song" (1929) is supposed to be extant, although it's rather impossible to see. I'd like to see it myself. I've seen the two earlier, more modest Gary Cooper westerns, "Nevada" (1927) and "The Last Outlaw" (1927). The other one from that year is supposed to be entirely lost, "Arizona Bound" (1927).

Same situation with two other minor 1927 Paramount westerns, "The Open Range" (1927) with Lane Chandler, and "Shootin' Irons" (1927) with Jack Luden. Lost.

Another fairly prominent western from Paramount in 1929 that's easy to see is "Redskin" (1929), with Richard Dix, and shot in color. Maybe more of a 'drama' with a western backdrop than an all-out western, but I rather liked the film. Dix had portrayed an Indian at Paramount earlier, in "The Vanishing American" (1925), which is also happily extant. That was one of those Zane Grey items, whose material the studio was busy mining both in the 1920s and still well into the 1930s. Amongst those, I've always particularly wanted to see "The Water Hole" (1928), starring Jack Holt, and a pre-stardom Nancy Carroll. Part of the film still exists, but I think it's missing a reel or two, if I recall.

Yup, your right. Twilight Time released Man in the Dark and Miss Sadie Thompson but that's it for 1950's 3D titles from Columbia.

 

[Joe Birrittella]

William Wyler's THE WESTERNER (1940)
with Gary COOPER .. Walter BRENNAN .. Doris DAVENPORT

Such a beautifully shot film
(the long shots, the close ups, the vistas & raging fire)

With sounds that make one feel that they're in the Authentic West
(*the heavy boots walking inside "Judge" Roy Bean's saloon/courthouse and
* the sound of the gun landing on the outside court steps
following the gun fight after Cole's mock trial)

My favorite Brennan & Cooper performances!
By my favorite director: Willie

I would buy HONDO in Real 3D in a second & have it on my watchdog list.
The red/blue glasses was an insult.

 

[Interdimensional]

Yup, your right. Twilight Time released Man in the Dark and Miss Sadie Thompson but that's it for 1950's 3D titles from Columbia.

Twilight Time also released two other Columbia 3-D titles, which I'm sure have temporarily slipped you mind. Rather good ones too, one of which is a western.

Sadly nothing since. Four of the unreleased Columbia 3-D titles are westerns.

 

[battlebeast]

Two I'd love: Westward the Women and The Big Sky. Also, two silent "kinda westerns" Greed and The Wind.

WESTWARD THE WOMEN was released on DVD by Warner Archive, but I would love to have it on Blu Ray as it is directed by my favorite director, William Agustus Wellman.

 

[battlebeast]

The western I'd love to see on Blu is CIMARRON. Pretty racist by today's standards, the last time I watched the DVD it was apparent it needs A LOT of work.

Edit: And I only need it because it won best picture.
