5.0 out of 5 stars DVD Please....A Gem Among The Duke's 1940's Films, November 20, 2003

By	Robert J. Delaney "robjdelaney" (APO, AE USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This a John Wayne film like no other. Take it from a huge fan that's seen most of his movies. Although this is not classified as a comedy, the Duke's turns in a sly performance full of great one-liners and facial expressions that had me rolling. Its action adventure in the oil fields and it's very entertaining and fun. Wayne is Cowboy Dan Somers and he competes with oilman Jim Gardner for oil lease rights on Indian land in Oklahoma, as well as for the favors of schoolteacher Cathy Allen. It has a good supporting cast including George "Gabby" Hayes.
You will never see the Duke quite like this in any other role. If you're a fan of the Duke, this film is a must so track down a copy while you can. It was originally titled "In Old Oklahoma" and then reissued as "War of the Wildcats" If we cross our fingers, maybe this will be re-released on DVD as it deserves to be.

4.0 out of 5 stars DUKE STRIKES IT RICH WITH ANOTHER CLASSIC!, April 7, 2001

By	dlonz (IL) - See all my reviews

This movie was a pleasant surprise. A great movie with all the elements of a Duke classic: fist fights, Indians, love affairs, drunken debacle and tom foolery. Duke is at his best with his one liners and Joe cool attitude. Wayne's character in the movie (Dan) has shades of Wayne's characters in "Red River" and "The Searchers" Dan is so intent on getting 10,000 gallons of oil to Oklahoma, that he'll do it at any price. He'll starve his men and forgo their dinners. It takes the reason of a woman, Cathy (Martha Scott) to help Dan to not only think of a means to an end, but others' well being as well.

I highly recommend this movie. Ranks right up there with my favorites, "Red River" "El Dorado" "The Comancheros" and "Hondo"

Simply a classic....
