It is coming on Encore Western Channel on 2-23-09 at 9:30 P.M. EST!


Please be sure to double check your local tv guide for the time in your area. It is a good western worth seeing in my opinion. The title used on this channel is Deaf Smith and Johnny Ears. If you miss it then watch out for it later on this channel which is very good at giving us second chances.

Watching widescreen films on Encore Westerns is impossible....they always show a cropped or pan and scan version. I only watch pre-1953 films or 1 : 1.85 aspect ratio films which are tolerable. This 1972 film is 1 : 2.35 and will look HORRIBLE on Encore Westerns.

They show it on TCM-HD as well, also in a horrible pan-and-scan version. The picture quality is pretty good, shame half or more of the picture has been cut off the sides.

Don't MGM own the rights to this? Pretty disgusting to suffer P&S in this day and age. I may end up watching it though, as it doesn't seem to be available elsewhere in any better quality.


You're not only wrong. You're wrong at the top of your voice

This movie was on Encore Western the other night. I really enjoyed it.
