John Ford Interview worth entire purchase
This DVD contains 23 B films of mostly the early 30s. It also shows Angel and the Badman, and McClintock which had not been "renewed" but still is decent quality. The early films show a continually developing Duke...you can actually see how his acting style, riding, fighting, etc. improve through training of people like Yakima Canutt, who is in a good many of these. It also shows, little by little his adding his own, later to be famous, traits that made John Wayne the star he was.
But, one of the best aspects is an interview of Pappy Ford that I had not seen. It is done with Hank Fonda, Duke, and Jimmy Stewart in Monument Valley, probably the last time Pappy was there...sort of his "Goodbye" to his favorite place. Hank actually HUGs Pappy and Pappy allows it! The DVD is worth THIS alone! For a paltry amount of money, this is surely a CLASSIC DVD if you are looking to learn about Duke and the beginning of his development of what would become the greatest Western movie actor...
Mill Creek Films are terrible
Any movies distributed by Mill Creek are just terrible quality...the only reason to buy these discs are to increase your library and semi enjoy these old movies!
Satisfied
the DVD came in perfect condition, nice shipping and I was happy with that. I got a little bored watching some of the shows, but that is just because I'm not a hard core western fan. I hadn't really ever seen John Wayne so I wans't like a huge fan that bought the DVD just for that. But if you love John wayne and old old westerns you have a winner! You can tell that the stories are older because of parts in the first couple stories are somewhat bad quality... but that is expected out of that old of movies. I wasn't dissapointed in the product. As I said: if you Love John Wayne or old westerns, I'm sure you will be more than satisfied!
