Product: Fort Apache (Color Enhanced) [VHS] (1948)
Rating: 3.0
Fort Apache Colorized
This is part of the John Ford Trilogy and I would consider it an outstanding classic. It's all start class shines and the action is all that one can desire.It was too bad that the film was not originally filmed in color but the studio did not want to pay the money to do it in color. It wasn't until the last movie in the trilogy She wore a yellow Ribbon was filmed that the Studio agreed to have it filmed in color. Turner decided that when he bought the film to pay to have it colorized. A great job was done. Unfortunately when it was released on video tape it was recorded in EP mode. This was a big mistake and there was little reason to do it. Thus as a movie I would give it and it colorization 5 stars but for releasing it in EP I would give Turner 1 star
