John Wayne Collectors Pack

Summary: 2 good - 1 bad, but worth the price...
Review: Dark Command & In Old Calafornia are very good John Wayne westerns, with good scripts and good acting. Dark Command especially is an outstanding period action piece about pre-civil war conflicts in Kansas. In Old California sees the Duke as a Druggist (which was his Dad's profession). Good comedy & action. However, including The Fighting Kentuckian in this set was a mistake. Not only is the transfer in poor condition, but the plot is beyond silly. Dialog, acting, and the script sink this movie well before the opening credits roll. There were so many better movies the Duke made for Repulic in the 40's...it is a shame any of those weren't included instead. But like I said, the set is worth the price for Dark Command & In Old California.

Summary: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Review: I'll admit, I'm not a big John Wayne fan. If you've seen one of his westerns, you've seen them all. I fell asleep TWICE when trying to watch this one. The only redeeming part was seeing Oliver Hardy trundling around in buckskins, doing pratfalls and slapstick. His lifelong comedy partner, Stan Laurel was too ill to take part, and I tend to think he became ill after looking at the script.

Review: Rough and tough in early Louisiana A fun tale of a romance and a conflict between cultures and social standing in the early years of the US.

Summary: Delightful old time hollywood frontier story
Review: The Fighting Kentuckian is a frontier classic that's a perfect John Wayne vehicle. Its the type of picture that I would stay up till one am to see when I was a boy in the early 60's. The old style marching, singing, and fighting is a fine escape for its duration. Not realistic and all old time Hollywood I would recomend it to anyone just for the fun of it.

Summary: An unforgettable match-up!
Review: This historical action film is not remarkable for its drama. It's importance lies primarily in the somewhat serendipitous casting of perhaps the two most influential "character" actors in movie history: John Wayne and Oliver Hardy. Whose styles have been copied more than those of Duke and Babe? (Not to dismiss Mr. Laurel). The rating is a very HIGH three.
