Classic Westerns: 10 Movie Collection [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

This is an amazingly good set of well restored tip-top Westerns, seven in glorious colour and three in good black and white. I've already watched the two that I especially wanted and taken a look through the others and am very pleased with what I see. The two I've watched are: WHISPERING SMITH - this is in superb colour, with Alan Ladd looking particularly young and handsome, (a bit like his famous Shane character), playing a quietly spoken railroad detective on the trail of robbers, including his former friend, played sturdily by Robert Preston. It has a good storyline and direction, with terrific outdoor shots and some exquisite sets. A real joy! TOMAHAWK - This one is directed by George Sherman with impressive acting from Van Heflin as an army scout trying to unite the white settlers with the Sioux. Alex Nicol is equally impressive as a blood thirsty 'pretty-boy' cavalry officer doing just the opposite. The Montana scenery is particularly gorgeous, with lots of wide open spaces consisting of lush green plains, broken up by small inland cliffs, which makes for some skilled and intricate riding scenes. It's based on the true story of the Battle for Powder River which took place in 1876. UPDATE: I've watched all the films now, and they range from pretty good to excellent.

Great old movies and great discs. Not a single skip or stall on any of these

Excellent collection of ten Hollywood westerns, mostly from the 40's with some from the early 50's. All films seem to have been restored as the picture quality is excellent. The first 3 are black & white, with the rest in colour. Not being big budget films they were all filmed in 1.33:1 full screen ratio. American consumers seem to demand greater value for their money than in the UK. You just don't get ten film collections for this price on region 2. Well worth £6.00 of anyone's money.

Some good films, some not so good, easy to use menus, picture fits the whole screen which is great! all in all for western fans a great collection on 3 discs!

Great selection of overlooked westerns. Really good price for the 10 movies. Would recommend this to any western fans. Most are of a good quality

great collection of movies first four b/w the rest colour a few I had not seen but really worth the sit down an enjoy these old style movies

Good way to pass an afternoon

this is a true western fans dream box set 10 good to great films for less than 70p each yee hah! all the films are great prints so saddle up and relive those saturday matinee film shows.

You may ask your self - which deal is better? to buy Classic Westerns: 10 Movie Collection or 20 Movie Collection? The right answer is : Classic Westerns: 10 Movie Collection as this collection is just like gold. I only didn't like two or three movies. However, the rest of the movies are sooo good and amazing picture quality that I couldn't believe it due to how old these movies are and also compared to typical 20 Movie Collection with very few good movies and poor image quality.

Universal did an awesome job on these movies and putting them in a wonderful collection. There isn't any special features and there is only English audio and no other language and subtitles. There are three disks with four on the first and three each on the last two disks. All movies are in Full frame format. Four of these films were also released as DVD-R and now you can get them as straight DVD with no MOD. All movies quality are great and I did compare to the other releases and I can't see any difference. "Sierra" and "The Virginian" were part of a TCM Vault box sets. UPDATE-03/16/15 Universal has just released a 8-Movie Western Collection exclusively for Walmart and contains three Universal Vault movies and I would recommend that two, this way Universal can see their Western sales go up and hopefully make more. Here are the movies included: When the Daltons Rode (1940/B&W/81mins) -Randolph Scott, Kay Francis, Brian Donlevy, George Bancroft, Broderick Crawford, Andy Devine; Directed by George Marshall Texas Rangers Ride Again (1940/B&W/68mins) -John Howard, Ellen Drew, Akim Tamiroff, May Robson, Broderick Crawford; Directed by James Hogan The Spoilers (1942/B&W/87mins) -Marlene Dietrich, Randolph Scott, John Wayne, Margaret Lindsay, Harrey Carey; Directed by Ray Enright The Virginian (1948/color/90mins) -Joel McCrea, Brian Donlevy, Sonny Tufts, Barbara Britton, Tom Tully, Fay Bainter; Directed by Stuart Gilmore Albuquerque (1948/color/90mins) -Randolph Scott, Barbara Britton, George "Gabby" Hayes, Lon Chaney Jr., George Cleveland; Directed by Ray Enright Whispering Smith (1949/color/88mins) Alan Ladd, Robert Preston, Brenda Marshall, Donald Crisp, Fay Holden, Frank Faylen; Directed by Leslie Fenton Comanche Territory (1950/color/76mins) -Maureen O'Hara, MacDonald Carey, Will Geer, Charles Drake; Directed by George Sherman Sierra (1950/color/83mins) -Audie Murphy, Wanda Hendrix, Burl Ives, Dean Jagger; Directed by Alfred E. Green Kansas Raiders (1950/color/80mins) -Audie Murphy, Brian Donlevy, Marguerite Chapman, Scott Brady, Tony Curtis; Directed by Ray Enright Tomahawk (1951/color/82mins) -Van Heflin, Yvonne DeCarlo, Alex Nicol; Directed by George Sherman Overall this is an excellent of Westerns to add to your collection and if you have any of these already this is a great item to free up some DVD space. I would and I have recommended this. Universal did a great job that I wish they would do another one.

Have watched the first nine of the set. Almost all great. The eye-wateringly awful depiction of native Americans in Comanche Territory will either make you cry or laugh out loud. Apart from that they are all rarely seen classics. Well worth the investment.

"When the Daltons Rode (1940/B&W/81mins)" lohnt sich der Kauf. Es ist so ziemlich der beste Western, den ich bisher sah, mit allem, was man in einem guten Western sehen möchte. Die Brüder werden zu Kriminellen, überfallen Banken, usw., Spannung, beste Unterhaltung. Allerdings konnte ich den Film wegen des Regionalcodes nur über PC (kostenlose VLC-DVD-Player-Software) und Verbindungskabel zum Fernseher anschauen. Die anderen Filme habe ich noch nicht gesehen. Wie gesagt: Schon wegen des ersten Films lohnt der Kauf.
