Editorial Reviews

RIO LOBO: After the Civil War a Union Colonel goes to Rio Lobo to take revenge on two traitors. EL DORADO: Legendary producer-director Howard Hawks teams with two equally legendary stars John Wayne and Robert Mitchum in this classic Western drama. Mitchum plays to perfection an alcoholic but gutsy sheriff who relentlessly battles the dark side of the wild West ruthless cattle barons and crooked "businessmen." The Duke gives an equally adept performance as the sheriff's old friend who knows his way around a gunfight. Filled with brawling action and humor El Dorado delivers the goods. James Caan and Ed Asner co-star. TRUE GRIT: In 1970 John Wayne won an Academy Award. for his larger-than-life performance as the drunken uncouth and totally fearless one-eyed U.S. Marshall Rooster Cogburn. The cantankerous Rooster is hired by a headstrong young girl (Kim Darby) to find the man who murdered her father and fled with the family savings. When Cogburn's employer insists on accompanying the old gunfighter sparks fly. And the situation goes from troubled to disastrous when an inexperienced but enthusiastic Texas Ranger (Glen Campbell) joins the party. Laughter and tears punctuate the wild action in this extraordinary Western which features performances by Robert Duvall and Strother Martin.System Requirements:Running Time: 367 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: WESTERN/MISC.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Western to Watch with Boys, November 26, 2008

I do not consider myself to be anything of a movie critic, and I do not watch very many movies. These old John Wayne movies are fun to watch with young boys because they are easy to understand, The good and bad are well defined, they have no profanity or sex (some light hugging and kissing), they have a good amount of drama that is not overbearing that is balanced with humor, and the limited amount of violence is not too graphic and seems to be acceptable. Usually, my youngest boy cannot sleep after watching a movie with some violence, but he did not have any problems sleeping after watching one of these movies.

Ordering this was too easy. Found what I wanted in about 30 seconds. Then purchased with one touch buy. And received my product in about 2-3 days in perfect condition. Was watching my movie that night.

I actually had more effort in leaving this review.
