A lot of bang for the $ mom loved it! August 21, 2008 I'm not a big JW fan, but my mom appreciated this. Quality is better then you think.
Awfully Bad Quality July 29, 2008 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 Amazon could at least acknowledge the low quality here.
I'm a big John Wayne fan. July 28, 2008 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. May 19, 2008 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
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."
Don't Do It May 9, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Many of these movies were not the best quality to begin with. This set further lowers the quality by using copying from low quality prints, and (in the case of the wide-screen movies) lopping off the sides of the movie. Spend a little more and you won't be distracted from some fun movies by the quality.
