With all the technology of today it would had been nice to see this priceless touching film without feeling you are watching a old elementary reel tape. Too bad. I am sorry I bought. The quality was awfull.

the reproduction company TIMELESS MEDIA GROUP once again wants a fast buck. the picture quality is poor and the audio was not that good. the movie has the icon TMG inserted which is annoying. we pay good money for these dvds and expect better quality. from now on the gloves are off. dont waste money on dvds reproduced by TIMELESS MEDIA GROUP

2.0 out of 5 starsAgainst a Crooked Transfer
By Nobody Knows on September 26, 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I purchased this DVD because I remember enjoying the movie on it's television broadcast in the late '70's. I guess I was younger and my tastes are more discerning now. First, the transfer was terrible, with much of the colors faded, washed out or "burnt" out. Also, images were usually soft, sometimes out of focus. I am sure this was the fault of the transfer process, not the filmmakers. This is the 2010 Echo Bridge Home Entertainment version and it is really a poor transfer. The DVD looks like a bootleg transfer from a bootleg VHS copy. The front of the package states WIDESCREEN across the bottom, but it is neither letter boxed nor a correct ratio as often the images from the left side of the screen are clearly clipped off.

From a film critique point of view, the acting is stiff, and either wooden or over the top, depending on the actor in any given scene. The camera work may have been OK, the transfer kills any hope of seeing good photography. I think the story is very good and could have been so much better. This is one of the few times I would like to see a re-make, as I think the story had much potential. The final "Race Against Crooked Sky" should have been an edge of the seat nail biter. It wasn't. The characters motivations lack depth or commitment. You feel as if the characters are motivated only because that is what the script told them to do or say. Richard Boone is somewhat entertaining, doing a somewhat of a "Rooster Cogburn" type character.

Last note, this particular transfer is the edited version, definitely PG, as the brief nudity discussed in other reviews is not present in this transfer.

4.0 out of 5 starsTwo stars for picture quality, four stars for the movie
By Charles van Buren on February 26, 2016
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
AGAINST A CROOKED SKY is a classic family western with decent acting and direction. Some of the suspense scenes do not come out quite as suspenseful as they could have, but maybe the director was thinking of younger viewers. The bad news is that the complaints about picture quality are valid, even when streaming from Amazon. Streaming is free with Amazon prime so I am not as upset as people who paid for the movie or dvd. Two stars for picture quality. Four stars for the movie.

By KPHM on August 8, 2015
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
I usually like Richard Boone and he was good although he plays a bum of a drunk character in this movie, which is not exactly uplifting. I am more entertained by Boone's self confidence in other roles I have seen him in. The main actors playing the son and daughter (not Boone's) were caught up in a kidnapping by Indians and she was stolen away when their parents had left them alone at their cabin. Of course her brother must search for her. Her brother was one dimensional and cheesy. Maybe smarmy is a better word to describe him. I did not like that young man's character in the movie and maybe I wasn't supposed to......I simply cannot say I liked this movie. I barely liked any of the characters!

1.0 out of 5 starsPoorly written and even less film quality!
By Parl Guthrie on November 12, 2015
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
When I saw Richard Boone was going to be in it I thought it might be good, but he was pretty disappointing and not very believable. The movie was poorly written, and had several scenes with gaps in it that left you questioning what happened. The film quality was poor and typical of a B- movie, and way to much darkness. Richard Boone was a much better actor when he played Have Gun Will Travel!

For me this movie was a slow paced B- western, but, I will watch it again because it is a decent family movie. Boone has been better in other movies.

1.0 out of 5 starsVHS transfer?

This is not a review of the movie, but of the quality of the print. This looks to be a VHS transfer. The image is grainy and blurry making it hard to watch.
