I prefer to read this kind of nice stuff. The quality of content is fine and the conclusion is good. Thanks for the post.

Love that movie. Can't count the number of times I've watched it.

Somewhere out there there is a VHS uncut tape of the movie. Maybe called a directors cut or maybe put together by one of the movie people. The tape runs about 5 hours or more and naturally shows a couple hours more of what wasn't used. I saw it years ago when VHS was just hitting the market. Wished I had asked for a copy.

Eli Wallach who played Tuco sent me an autographed photo of himself in the role after I wrote him a letter! He is about 95 now!

Eli is still alive! He was born in 1915, so that would make him to be 98! Hope he makes it to 100!

That had to be the world's best shot. And it only topped the seen where the Union Officer was beating the gray dust from his blue uniform by a little bit. Frank...

Can't find a single old VHS tape to check for the correct terminology, but if recorded on the tapes slowest, or lower settings it says it will record six hours. The ER setting comes to mind. Maybe you have one in your possession and can check.

The owner of said tape is long, long dead.

I was assuming it was a commercial tape, which are all recorded in SP mode which is 2 hours. You are correct in that there are other modes, but the quality really suffered. LP mode was 4 hours and EP/SLP mode which I have never seen used was 6 hours. The 6 hour capable tape was a T-120 VHS. Frank...

One of the best - Too bad they can't make movies like that anymore! Also, loved Josey Wales.........

Yep, EP/SLP was what I was trying to bring to mind. Looked it up on the WEB after posting. You are right, the picture quality really suffered. Still one great movie. Eli screaming BLONDIE made the ending. Also, the music was first rate.

"There are two kinds of people in this world, those with guns, and those that dig" I bet I've seen it a dozen times.
