3.0 out of 5 stars John Wayne In Different Form Here and it works, December 13, 2000

John Wayne the reigning hero of Western & Action films is in a departure of his usual tough guy personna by playing a chracter of self doubt. Wayne plays a Rancher who competes with a gambling tycoon on the Barbary Coast over the hand of a beautiful dance hall queen. This film also displays the infamous 1906 San Fransisco Earthquake. One of the highlights in a film that is otherwise routine. Another highlight is seeing this film in colured version instead of black & white.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wayne shows his versatility, August 4, 2000

This review is from: Flame of Barbary Coast [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This early outing finds Wayne in a romantic, light hearted story that showed early signs of what was to come. Watch closely to see early parallels with later legendary performances with Maureen O'Hara in films such as the quiet man. Only about 100 mins long, but very easy viewing, and absorbing, don't be put off by the early year of production - this is a very good movie.

First-if you like John Wayne-you'll like this movie. It was one of his earlier efforts, but he already had those qualities that hold a viewer to the story. The supporting cast is superb-it's a classic!
