John Wayne becoming John Wayne |
I gobbled up these movies and fast. And craved more, they are fun. I mostly enjoy watching John Wayne grow into the character we know him as. Love those roundhouse punches and that swagger. Gabby Hayes is a blast too. These are real gems and I now plan to grab up all the B&W John Wayne movies. But don't trust my word as my grandfather and the Duke are old aquaintances from Yuma AZ. so my opinion is biased. You will have to buy them yourself and see.

Awfully Bad Quality |
The quality of this DVD is wildly bad NOT because as one reviewer put, the film prints are some 70 years old.
Those film prints are still fine. It's just terrible compression. The image is dark and blurry, you see the pixels. It's a bit like someone made DVD copies of VHS tapes. In other words, super cheap.
But, hey, I suppose if you get 20 films for $5, you can't complain. And it's not like you can't make out the story. Still, it would be nice if Marketadvisory could at least acknowledge the low quality here. |

I'm a big John Wayne fan. |
Unfortunately, I haven't watched any of these movies yet. Many of these movies were made prior to John Wayne becoming a star. Most of these were
low budget westerns. I expect to enjoy them soon. We went to his birthplace in Winterset,Iowa which was very interesting. |

Gun Control & Wife Abusers' fantasies. |
I only saw two of these movies in the set. The first is Angel and the Bad Man. That was pretty cute basically, except the toss-away-your-weapons pacifist message - the Duke gives up guns for the Quaker girl - isn't one I agree with. The second movie was McClintock. The basic message seemed to be that women are irrational, verbally abusive nutcakes. But no problem!
Just humilitate them in public, give them a hard spanking with some kind of metal instrument, (couldn't tell which kind) and they will transform into little obedient lambs. McClintock passses on his "paddle" to be used by his daughter's fiance.
On the other hand, the frequently drunk, carousing husband doesnt' show any remorse or signs of changing himself.
I am not going to watch the rest of the movies in this series. But if McClintock is an example of what any of the others are like, I think this dvd set should be placed in the genre of "Scary Stuff." |
