Anyone know when this last of the John Ford cavalry trilogy to be in BD format??? Both Rio Grande & Fort Apache have it now. I think these three movies should be all in BD for their locations of these movies being shot in Monumental Valley.It would be up my alley to see them come out with all three in a packaged deal in BD. They also had a lot of dialogue of how the movies were filmed & John Ford hiring Indians for extras.

Yellow Ribbon was photographed in the three-strip Technicolor process used from 1935 through 1953, which is famous for both its vivid hues and its logistical challenges. For the film's Blu-ray debut, the Warner Archive Collection generated a new interpositive from the three separate negatives recorded during filming. The IP was created by YCM Laboratories, which, as the name suggests, is noted for their expertise in handling three-strip negatives (YCM is an acronym for "yellow, cyan, magenta", the portions of the spectrum separately captured by the three-strip process). After the IP was scanned, alignment of the three layers was further fine-tuned in the digital domain.share
The result on this 1080p, AVC-encoded Blu-ray is an image of both exceptionally sharp detail and beautifully delineated shadings of color that breathe new life into Ford's and Hoch's iconic images. Bright blue skies and mountainous rock formations in variegated shades of brown and red frame Captain Brittles and his troops as they snake through the landscape. The rich navy blues and bright yellows of the cavalry uniforms stand in sharp contrast to the intense reds that identify their Native American attackers. Fine detail is so good that you can make out the coats on both horses and the herd of buffalo encountered by Brittles and his men. You can even spot the makeup in an occasional closeup.
