Classic Westerns: 10 Movie Collection [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

This is an amazingly good set of well restored tip-top Westerns, seven in glorious colour and three in good black and white. I've already watched the two that I especially wanted and taken a look through the others and am very pleased with what I see. The two I've watched are:WHISPERING SMITH - this is in superb colour, with Alan Ladd looking particularly young and handsome, (a bit like his famous Shane character), playing a quietly spoken railroad detective on the trail of robbers, including his former friend, played sturdily by Robert Preston. It has a good storyline and direction, with terrific outdoor shots and some exquisite sets. A real joy!TOMAHAWK - This one is directed by George Sherman with impressive acting from Van Heflin as an army scout trying to unite the white settlers with the Sioux. Alex Nicol is equally impressive as a blood thirsty 'pretty-boy' cavalry officer doing just the opposite. The Montana scenery is particularly gorgeous, with lots of wide open spaces consisting of lush green plains, broken up by small inland cliffs, which makes for some skilled and intricate riding scenes. It's based on the true story of the Battle for Powder River which took place in 1876.UPDATE: I've watched all the films now, and they range from pretty good to excellent.

Culled from the Universal/Paramount archives, this set features a good cross-section of cowboy stars Randolph Scott, Audie Murphy, Joel McCrea and John Wayne. Picture and sound quality are first-class. The 10 films presented on a 3-DVD set are very watchable and the price - unbelievable! Recommended.

Excellent collection of ten Hollywood westerns, mostly from the 40's with some from the early 50's. All films seem to have been restored as the picture quality is excellent. The first 3 are black & white, with the rest in colour. Not being big budget films they were all filmed in 1.33:1 full screen ratio. American consumers seem to demand greater value for their money than in the UK. You just don't get ten film collections for this price on region 2. Well worth £6.00 of anyone's money.

this is a true western fans dream box set 10 good to great films for less than 70p each yee hah! all the films are great prints so saddle up and relive those saturday matinee film shows.

Good way to pass an afternoon

Some good films, some not so good, easy to use menus, picture fits the whole screen which is great! all in all for western fans a great collection on 3 discs!

arrived safely

Gift for an older family member who watched these as new releases in theatre. Made him happy.

Have watched the first nine of the set. Almost all great. The eye-wateringly awful depiction of native Americans in Comanche Territory will either make you cry or laugh out loud. Apart from that they are all rarely seen classics. Well worth the investment.

"When the Daltons Rode (1940/B&W/81mins)" lohnt sich der Kauf. Es ist so ziemlich der beste Western, den ich bisher sah, mit allem, was man in einem guten Western sehen möchte. Die Brüder werden zu Kriminellen, überfallen Banken, usw., Spannung, beste Unterhaltung. Allerdings konnte ich den Film wegen des Regionalcodes nur über PC (kostenlose VLC-DVD-Player-Software) und Verbindungskabel zum Fernseher anschauen. Die anderen Filme habe ich noch nicht gesehen. Wie gesagt: Schon wegen des ersten Films lohnt der Kauf.

Great collection fir a great price.
