5.0 out of 5 stars Our thanks to Universal...for Great Western fare, February 15, 2007

By	B. Cathey "ParsifalCSA" (Wendell, NC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is volume 2 of two box sets to be released by Universal, and containing some mighty fine oaters. If past history is any guide, the transfers will excellent, the color great, and the presentation superior! THE TEXANS was one Randolph Scott's first major "A" Western roles, and while the film was criticized as a bit "wooden," it nevertheless is an entertaining film that details the great post-war cattle drives from Texas north. Great supporting cast. Ray Milland is usually not thought of as a Western star, but, as he demonstrates here in CALIFORNIA (and later in COPPER CANYON) he is quite capable in the saddle. Glenn Ford, in THE MAN FROM THE ALAMO, stands out as an accused "deserter" who must prove his bona fides and his honor. Lastly, there is more Audie Murphy--a cause for rejoicing, indeed, with his THE CIMARRON KID (and in vol. 1, his KANSAS RAIDERS). These boxes are reasonabley priced, and all I can add, is "pardner, you'll not be disappointed." Our thanks to Universal!

4.0 out of 5 stars pretty doggone good, July 10, 2007

By	Bruce Coe "dbspl" (Cle Elum, WA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you like the classical western (pre spaghetti)format you're going to like these collections. It's a little tempting to rate these as trite but remember, they really did a lot to create the genre, from the goofy Technicolor quasi musicals like "California" (replete with angels screaming "gold!" and zombie-like miners deserting the wagon train for the gold fields) to the honest and humble Glenn Ford in "The Man From the Alamo" which also showcases High O'Brien. The man can ride!

"Man" also has, to my mind, the most incredible horse stunt ever towards the end of the film - you'll just have to watch to see it. For horse stunt aficionados it's better than the downhill ride in "The Man From Snowy River"

Real extras who can actually ride. Real pulldowns. Great acting. Plots both silly and serious, all in all, a "great ride".

3.0 out of 5 stars 3.5 stars for 4 good westerns, September 12, 2009

By	worth Ferguson "worthless info" (central Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

I won't go into the story lines since those are covered in other reviews. I'm just adding my vote to the overall total. These are all good westerns. None of them are great, but none are really poor either. If you like the old westerns, you will like these movies. They are all diferent, so the set has a good variety.
