Summary: 3 Stars
Being an admirer of John Ford's great western films, including "The Searchers", "She wore a yellow Ribbon", and "Fort Apache", I was interested to learn more about the character of this great American director as revealed in this DVD.
However, my compelling reason for acquiring the DVD was the inclusion of a copy of John Ford's Academy Award-winning "Battle of Midway" as an "Extra". This film has become very difficult to obtain through commercial sources.
Pacific War history buffs who would like to add John Ford's magnificent "Battle of Midway" to their DVD libraries may be interested to hear my opinion that the transfer from the original 16 millimetre film shot by Ford during the Japanese attack on Midway Atoll in June 1942 is excellent. The running time is 18 minutes. The print is reasonably sharp considering its source was a 16mm film. The colour is excellent. I found print wear and tear to be minimal and unobtrusive. In my opinion, inclusion of an excellent copy of "The Battle of Midway" fully justified the cost of this DVD.
