From the Editors
John Wayne is one of the most popular and recognizable leading men ever to hit the silver screen. Five memorable films capture his unforgettable career in the John Wayne: Screen Legend Collection. Co-starring an impressive roster of talent including Katharine Hepburn, Kirk Douglas, Marlene Dietrich and Randolph Scott, these films highlight an American icon who will always be remembered as a true screen legend. Reap the Wild Wind Cecil B. DeMille directs John Wayne and Ray Milland as two sailors battling pirates and competing for the affections of a southern belle (Paulette Goddard) in 1840s Key West. The Spoilers John Wayne joins Marlene Dietrich and Randolph Scott in an all-star adventure classic about gold and greed in an Alaskan boomtown during the 1890s. The War Wagon A rancher (John Wayne) recruits a brash gunslinger (Kirk Douglas) along with a raucous crew of misfits and readies them to pull off one of the most impossible heists of all time. Hellfighters A Texan demolition specialist (John Wayne) battles a perilous oil-well fire and hopes to reunite with his daughter and the wife who left him 20 years ago. Rooster Cogburn The saga of True Grit continues as John Wayne reprises his role as a Deputy Marshall who helps a missionary (Katharine Hepburn) bring justice to the Wild West.
Description
Customer Response
Great all around!
The product came very quickly, and was packaged excellently. (Along with the price being very reasonable!)
He's still the man!
Great collection. Good quality pictures. Wayne and Hepburn what a winning combination in Rooster Cogburn.
First Rate
The movies in this collection are top notch. I watched all of them the first three days I had the set. The video and audio quality is excellent. The DVD is restored video which I am coming to expect now. I like to watch the unrestored trailers to see how good the movies look after they are restored. Sometimes technology is wonderful! It wasn't too long ago that we were in danger of losing some of these old films. Of course, the Duke is the Duke, that is why I bought the set. The set appears to have been done by or for TCM which is first rate, too. If you love John Wayne, as I do, you'll have to have this set. Overall, beautifully done.
Just What My Dad Wanted
This turned out to be the perfect John Wayne Box Set for my Dad. He is a huge John Wayne fan and since I bought him this he has watched all of the movies, some of them twice. It is a great gift for a John Wayne fan.
John Wayne, Screen Legion
These DVD's arrived in a fairly timely manner considering that they were traveling up to Alaska. I was a little disappointed that the titles for each DVD was not labeled which caused some confusion as to what movie was on each disk. The quality of the movies is very good otherwise.
