Warner Home Video Western Classics Collection (DVD)

these dvds are excellent for fun watchingI can not believe the badmouthing of some reviews herethey think based on ignorance of how times were on the years they were madepolitics yelled out for attention and demanding censorship on the movie industrycongress commitees and investigatios any time in those days!movie makers were always conscious about world wide hazards on the distribution os their filmsescenes with mouth kissings censored in Europe at the whim of prudists, violence scenes toned down to absurd levelsI remember excellent scenes where "blood" were splattered around during shootout scenesnowdays none of them are available on the most violent American made moviesso, accept this wonderful collection and enjoy them as I do

This is great deal for the selection Warner Bros. has offered! All of these movies are great Western Classics staring from Robert Taylor, Gregory Peck, Richard Widmark, William Holden and Glenn Ford. All the quality of them are great except for others were they aren't a good, but still good. Taylor is awesome in three movies starring along with Widmark, Eleanor Parker, Patricia Owens and John Cassavetes. Out of these six movies none of them are bad as in the story of the movies. Cimarron the 60's version, is the only one that I've heard of out from this collection. If you are a fan of Westerns or any of these actors/actress' this collection is for you!

These westerns are first of all not Warner Bros films; they were produced at Metro. The Robert Taylor films are dreadful, and the stand out is Escape from Fort Bravo, and Cimarron. Fort Bravo has William Holden and E. Parker, and they are stand outs always. In this western she has some of the most expensive looking 19th century long gowns ever seen in the West. Also Eleannor Parker's hair...never has there been such style, in scene after scene, changes in shape color and ribbons. And catch the ending of this film..what is William Holden doing?Cimarron has Maria Schell and she is excellent. Glenn Ford is never really good in any film, with the exception of some earlier films and 3:10 to Yuma. Otherwise, it's Anne Baxter and the rest of the cast that make this worthwhile, and, Anthony Mann's direction..note how he has changed since Naked Spur days. Mann is warming up for the big spectacles, such as EL Cid.Then Stalking Moon could have had a lot going for it, but it's essentially anti Native American, and falls back on John Ford's absurd ideas of people of color.(Ford is a great director, but not in his treatment of Native Americans.)Many Rivers to Cross..here is a dud of the first rank. If they are doing WARNER BROS westerns, where is The Hanging Tree with Cooper and Schell?Wait for better things.

We were looking for some western movies we have never heard about or never seen and found this collection.These movies are fantastic!Each one stars big names from that era and each movie is so different.If you are looking for an inexpensive box set of western movies to have around the house to enjoy on rainy or snowy days, this is the one.

Does not seem to be any way to do four and a half stars, which is what i want to give it.Six movies, two of which i will watch again, three i enjoyed watching and one dudThe following two are worth the price of the set:ESCAPE FROM FORT BRAVO Confederate POWS, held in a federal fort, are forced to make a choice when Indians attack.THE LAW AND JACK WADE Well scripted and outstanding acting by Richard Widmark.I enjoyed watching the following three CIMARRON Not really a western. Begins in 1890 with Oklahoma land rush and is a character study of a husband and wife through 1914. Trailer speaks of heroic husband and selfish wife, but a 21 century viewer might see it just the opposite. Outstanding performance by Maria Schell as the wife.SADDLE THE WIND Rod Sterling script Brother against brother.THE STALKING MOON First half is very slow but second half has long great climax .MANY RIVERS TO CROSS slapstick western a waste of timeSUBTITLES FOR ALL SIXIndividual disks for each filmHighly recommend set at $20 or less price.

If you love Westerns, you will love this Warner Western Classics DVD box set. Not just one movie but ALL 6 DVD movies are SPECTACULAR in this set. I could watch them over and over, the movies will keep you on the edge of your seat-----indeed real thrillers! Fantastic acting, beautiful scenery in vibrant color,and LOTS of action! I would actually rate these films a 10+---------Simply thrilled that they put these Westerns out on DVD!!

I purchased this item on February 4, 2009 for $59.00. Today it sells for $10.00. Don't regret buying this box set, just love westerns. Richard Widmark, Robert Taylor, Glen Ford are some of my favorite western actors. Great addition to my western collection.

Absolutely the best set of westerns yet. There were shows that I haven't seen. The scenery in the films alone is worth owning this set.
