Bridgestone Group VHS Transfer Untrackable EP.......2006-08-18
5 stars for Lassie; 1 star for this crummy VHS! Here's more good advice to stick to the MGM VHS! We just bought The Painted Hills in a stated Collector's Edition claiming a "Direct 35mm Film Transfer" by the Bridgestone Group. After you open it you find unwatchable garbage that refuses to track in automatic or manual settings on different vcrs! Good idea to email your seller and ask about the studio, these reviews are used at multiple sites, and although I entered the AISN before writing this, Bridgestone is not mentioned at this site, and I see several other reviews for DVDs! Caveat Emptor! Buyer Beware!
Fun movie, GREAT Transfer by Roan Group.......2004-04-02
Why they do it, I don't know....but Amazon has reviews for different transfers of this movie combined. I have the Roan Group transfer, and let me say, it is a beautiful transfer. I can't imagine any of the major studios doing a better job.
This is a great movie to have, as Lassie's last movie before hitting the small screen. But it is more than just a typical "Lassie" movie...it is truly suspenseful and quite a pleasure to view.
Definitely a great addition to any DVD collection, especially anyone who enjoys westerns or animal movies!
Enjoyable Lassie flick, despite marginal video quality.......2003-11-19
Magnificent scenery, reminds me of my vacations out west with my parents, when I was young. The video is of extremely poor quality, though. Could be very distracting during certain parts of the movie. If you are sensitive to video quality issues, you won't like it. Otherwise, enjoy!
Worst transfer I've ever seen!.......2001-10-16
Just shows that you can't trust anyone anymore! Not in the land of DVD, anyway. Based on my positive experience with Goodtimes' superior transfer of "Angel and the Badman," I went with Goodtimes for their version of this nice old Lassie flick.
At first, all looked well -- the title screen and the chapter preview pages are sharp and colorful. Imagine my shock when I selected "play movie" and a murky, ghost ridden, dirt speckled image darkened my screen! This is absolutely the worst DVD transfer I have ever seen. Looks something like an old 8mm print projected on a bed sheet and transfered to video with a VHS-C camcorder!
Three additional things: First, I had to wait 3 months for it to arrive. Second, a tiny blurb on the rear of its el cheapo keep case reads: "Discs replicated in Hong Kong or Taiwan" (I'm not sure this means anything quality wise). And three, there is a disclaimer in the opening titles that reads, "Transfered from the best available material."
Bull tangy! There is a beautiful VHS version of this film that was put out a few years ago -- colorful and sharp! When VHS looks worlds better than DVD, something is very wrong! Admittedly, the price of this Goodtimes offering is low -- $...Hmm...do you think maybe consumers are supposed to swallow an unwatchable mess like this just because it only put them out $... plus postage?
The message very clearly is this: Steer clear of cheap DVDs, just as you would very wisely steer clear of cheap VHS movies, which are usually recorded in EP mode. The penalty in DVD land for low price seems to be that quality is extremely variable and unreliable. Sometimes the DVD will be okay, but often the quality will be just good enough to toss into the trash.
In fact, that's what will happen to this DVD of "The Painted Hills." I've opened it, so I can't send it back. It's so awful, I can't sell it on eBay or give it to anyone. The only thing left to do is to give it to the trash man (without his knowing it).
A total waste of money! But a lesson well learned.
BTW, sorry to have to give this "dog" one star. There really should be a BOMB option.
The Painted Hills.......2001-06-19
This DVD is a treat for Lassie fans both young and old. The scenery is spectacular, and the story line was well written. I would highly recommend this film to everyone.

Bad Lassie, bad!! Bad Dog!.......2006-05-04
I haven't seen many Lassie Motion pictures in my time. Though I've heard that they are happy family movies that my parents would watch when they were kids and laddy da de da....
Well, I went to Bi-Mart and picked this one up cheap thinking it would be just that. But boy, was I wrong. The movie is mostly about how Lassie is owned by a succesfull old gold miner who meets a man who wants his gold and knocks him off the cliff to take his gold. Well, the story continues on when Lassie, after finally getting the guy in a vulnurable situation growls the guy off a cliff over 50 feet down! I mean, come on can't Lassie be a little more up beat and nicer? Who came up with the story line? They should never write again!! This is not a family movie for young children and I don't think anyone should pay over 3 dollars for it.
Troma.......2004-05-01
Since whoever listed it didn't think it was necessary to add any information, I expect that this is the edition by Troma Movies, digitally remastered by Roan, UPC 790045000607

We just bought The Painted Hills in a stated Collector's Edition claiming a "Direct 35mm Film Transfer" by the Bridgestone Group. After you open it you find unwatchable garbage that refuses to track in automatic or manual settings on different vcrs! Good idea to email your seller and ask about the studio, these reviews are used at multiple sites, and although I entered the AISN before writing this, Bridgestone is not mentioned at this site, and I see several other reviews for DVDs! Caveat Emptor! Buyer Beware!
Fun movie, GREAT Transfer by Roan Group.......2004-04-02
Why they do it, I don't know....but Amazon has reviews for different transfers of this movie combined. I have the Roan Group transfer, and let me say, it is a beautiful transfer. I can't imagine any of the major studios doing a better job.
This is a great movie to have, as Lassie's last movie before hitting the small screen. But it is more than just a typical "Lassie" movie...it is truly suspenseful and quite a pleasure to view.
Definitely a great addition to any DVD collection, especially anyone who enjoys westerns or animal movies!
Enjoyable Lassie flick, despite marginal video quality.......2003-11-19
Magnificent scenery, reminds me of my vacations out west with my parents, when I was young. The video is of extremely poor quality, though. Could be very distracting during certain parts of the movie. If you are sensitive to video quality issues, you won't like it. Otherwise, enjoy!
Worst transfer I've ever seen!.......2001-10-16
Just shows that you can't trust anyone anymore! Not in the land of DVD, anyway. Based on my positive experience with Goodtimes' superior transfer of "Angel and the Badman," I went with Goodtimes for their version of this nice old Lassie flick.
At first, all looked well -- the title screen and the chapter preview pages are sharp and colorful. Imagine my shock when I selected "play movie" and a murky, ghost ridden, dirt speckled image darkened my screen! This is absolutely the worst DVD transfer I have ever seen. Looks something like an old 8mm print projected on a bed sheet and transfered to video with a VHS-C camcorder!
Three additional things: First, I had to wait 3 months for it to arrive. Second, a tiny blurb on the rear of its el cheapo keep case reads: "Discs replicated in Hong Kong or Taiwan" (I'm not sure this means anything quality wise). And three, there is a disclaimer in the opening titles that reads, "Transfered from the best available material."
Bull tangy! There is a beautiful VHS version of this film that was put out a few years ago -- colorful and sharp! When VHS looks worlds better than DVD, something is very wrong! Admittedly, the price of this Goodtimes offering is low -- $...Hmm...do you think maybe consumers are supposed to swallow an unwatchable mess like this just because it only put them out $... plus postage?
The message very clearly is this: Steer clear of cheap DVDs, just as you would very wisely steer clear of cheap VHS movies, which are usually recorded in EP mode. The penalty in DVD land for low price seems to be that quality is extremely variable and unreliable. Sometimes the DVD will be okay, but often the quality will be just good enough to toss into the trash.
In fact, that's what will happen to this DVD of "The Painted Hills." I've opened it, so I can't send it back. It's so awful, I can't sell it on eBay or give it to anyone. The only thing left to do is to give it to the trash man (without his knowing it).
A total waste of money! But a lesson well learned.
BTW, sorry to have to give this "dog" one star. There really should be a BOMB option.
The Painted Hills.......2001-06-19
This DVD is a treat for Lassie fans both young and old. The scenery is spectacular, and the story line was well written. I would highly recommend this film to everyone.
