A good, large collection of Wayne films, mostly from his middle period, 1940-55. Should complement the later films seasoned fans will already own.

An eclectic collection of films is represented here: three B&W early 40s pictures with Marlene Dietrich, a number of Republic B-pictures from the 40s; the John Ford trio: Rio Grande, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, and Fort Apache; six contemporaneous war films, including Sands of Iwo Jima and Back to Bataan. Also, a sprinkling of bigger productions, which include The Conqueror (Genghis Khan biopic), the very familiar Rooster Cogburn, and De Mille's Reap the Wild Wind (an excellent Paulette Goddard and groundbeaking underwater colour photography, unequalled until Disney's 20000 Leagues under the Sea).

The picture quality is generally pretty good, though a little over-exposed at times, as in War of the Wildcats (well worth sticking with for the excellent closing stunt work). There are also individual plastic boxes to protect the DVDs from damage.

Overall, new fans of John Wayne should probably look elsewhere for most of his very best colour films. However, more seasoned fans should appreciate this large collection as complementing what they already own, and for giving a fairly complete picture of The Duke's middle period, before he became the ultimate iconic cowboy actor.

PLEASED

A good & varied selection of John Wayne films, from early in his career, to his last one, and covering different topics, not just westerns.

I love watching John Wayne films

I have loved watching John Wayne films since l was a girl and there a lot of films in this boxset l have never see before. Both my myself and my husband are enjoying watching them because my husband has not seen a lot of John Wayne film.
This boxset of DVDs are worth the money even if the box is a bit torn because the DVDs there is in the if you want are very cheap in some places. I have seen this boxset before for £35 and up. So that is why l am greatful for price of the boxset. So thank you very much and l am grateful to you and they got here quickly and safely
