Product: Fort Apache (Color Enhanced) [VHS] (1948)
Rating: 3.0
A patchy tape
The VHS of FORT APACHE that I received under this URL is not a TURNER release, but a much earlier VIDAMERICA product, one with different cover art. It's so old there's a label on the cover reading: "THE AFFORDABLE COLLECTABLES - Thirty-four ninety-five." (<--numeric)The box is sealed on all sides. To extract the tape one opens the top flap. This mid-1980s recording is in SP mode, but has only a linear mono audio track (no HiFi), clear but with a faint hiss to it. Film stock used is unrestored and often shows snow specks, but no scratch lines or edit breaks. Picture is high-contrast and lacks subtle detail. An average product at best. Watchable, though.
