This review is from: The Big Stampede / Ride Him Cowboy / Haunted Gold (DVD)

People bash the 50-60 minute "oaters" of the 30's...and now that I've watched these three and the three on the other Wayne set that just came out..i say forget them! These are fun movies, kind of like longer westerns with the boring stuff cut out! The critics say these were all filmed in just a day or two...well the stories usually are about a day or two....and there is great riding, shooting, action and backstabbing in these action packed hours...and JOHN WAYNE and...the DUKE! That's right...his HORSE was named DUKE and second billed!! I never knew this...
what a deal for around ten bucks...EVERY fan of Duke...or John Wayne should pick up both sets...
oh..and for the tech heads out there...they are pretty good prints...

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT JOHN WAYNE TRIPLE FEATURE!!!, May 27, 2007

This review is from: The Big Stampede / Ride Him Cowboy / Haunted Gold (DVD)

The previously available DVDs of early John Wayne westerns out of the public domain are a strain to watch. Most come from deteriorated copies where picture detail and clarity and sound quality are bad at their best.

I bought this expecting the same. But to my surpise, this release by a major studio like Warner blows all the other early to mid 30's John Wayne westerns to bits.

The picture quality is superb. Clarity of detail is exceptional. Warner Bros should be commended for having well preserved copies in their vaults. I plan to get the other John Wayne installment from Warner Bors too. And three features in one DVD is outstanding.

Paramount did an earlier relaese of a Tim McCoy feature with John Wayne. Like the Warner release, the picture and sound quality was very very good. But it consisted of only one feature and cost more than this Warner triple feature. I hope Universal would also release their Buck Jones westerns soon, even if many of these are already in the public domain. A good quality B western would sell anytime

3.0 out of 5 stars Duke Wayne's Early Warner Brothers Westerns, September 17, 2007

This review is from: The Big Stampede / Ride Him Cowboy / Haunted Gold (DVD)

The video quality of this DVD was much better than I expected. It helps strengthen the point I made in a recent review I gave for "Hurricane Express" that it behooves the distributors of these old films to do a better job in restoring the picture and sound. In the case of this DVD a favorable effort was achieved.

I certainly would not rank any of these three films among John Wayne's top twenty, or even top fifty films. They are competently made "oat burners," in the style of a Hopalong Cassidy, Buck Jones, Gene Autrey, and other beloved western stars of the era. The films are entertaining, yet uncomlicated. The distinctions between good and evil are clear.

It is amusing to see that John Wayne's beautiful white horse is named, "Duke." One may only speculate how many jokes were tossed around about that off-camera.

Again, if one if attempting to attain a complete John Wayne film collection, they should add this DVD to their library. It certainly is not "Rio Bravo," or "The Searchers," but it beats the heck out of a lot of morally ambiguous garbage on TV today.
