Average Rating: 
Rating:  - One film rather good quality for public domain, the other not so good...
When buying public domain movies, one must rate on a totally separate scale. Santa Fe Trail is actually not a bad-looking transfer. Of course as you know PD companies generally don't have access to anything even remotely close to an original camera negative, so naturally this isn't as crisp and sparkling as it would be should Warner Brothers ever decide to remaster it, but it is certainly miles above the other versions floating around out there. As for the second feature, Abilene Town, it is a ... Read More
Rating: - interesting look at pre civil war history
At first, since this was deemed a "Western" I was sort of surprised to find this was more of a history about some events that led to the civil war. It suddenly got very interesting for that reason alone. The dating of events in the movie is non existant because I just found out that the movie covers a period from 1854-1859, but one gets the impression that all the events transpired quickly and all in 1854.

Rating:  - Classic Movie
My husband is a western fan and he just had to have this classic DVD, so when I saw it for sale on Amazon I purchased it for him. He loves the movie and the enhanced quality that has been captured on DVD.
Rating:  - High on the list of movies that p**s off liberals
While this movie seems to flaunt its disregard for historical accuracy, it's still a fun adventure romp with several well known figures from American history. Errol Flynn as JEB Stuart is a blast as he battles straight-arrow rival Ronald Reagan (George Custer) in love and war. Raymond Massey is chilling as homicidal maniac John Brown and Olivia De Havilland is a peach. The whole film is refreshing for its unapologetic rejection of the post-bellum political orthodoxy imposed on the whole country which beatified ... Read More
Rating:  - Bad Quality DVD
This is for the "Digital Gold Collection" dvd of Santa Fe Trail only.
At one point the soundtrack jumps out of synch with the picture, and this lasts long enough to ruin the entire movie - about five minutes. At this point you have the actors swapping voices; a slave woman speaking with the voice of Errol Flynn, and Massey making a voiceless speech.
This is a very bad quality disk - buy another and avoid the DGC dvd.
I gave it one star because there is no zero star rating.
