Superb job all around
VCI has done a superb job all the way around. Wonderful transfer and picture quality for the Cisco films that, until today, was only available on VHS in poor quality transfers.
Recommend the Cisco book from the University Press by Francis M. Nevins as a companion piece.
Classic western, antiquated title
These films are just fun. Yes, they portray stereotypes but the enlightened person can appreciate the era. I watched this when looking for films that were produced in Pioneer Town, CA.
