John Wayne Film Collection



YES!! Finally!!!!
The 10 films available in the collection are THE BIG TRAIL, RED RIVER, LEGEND OF THE LOST, THE BARBARIAN AND THE GEISHA (first time on DVD), THE HORSE SOLDIERS, THE ALAMO, NORTH TO ALASKA, THE COMANCHEROS, THE LONGEST DAY, and THE UNDEFEATED.I'm happy I own the Barbarian and the Geisha. I've been waiting for it to come to region 1 for a long time. Beware the box sets packaging may scratch the DVDs. I put mine in paper sleeves and all the DVDs still fit in the set.

Bad marketing and package design.
I am not going to review the films in this set, it has been done by many others (better than I could have done) under each film's title. This review is for the package design. Once again I bought a new set of dvds that had all the discs jammed into cardboard pockets that are not lined with anything to protect the data side and all discs had some sort of scratches or scuff marks. When will the STUDIO HEADS that control package design listen to their customers? Bought this set to get the Barbarian and the Geisha and it had more scratches than any of the others. Also there is no information on the box or inner sleeves to let the buyer know which films are widescreen or which films have any extra features. The only good thing with the package design is the 7 nice pictures on the cardboard pages of the disc sleeves. Amazon should have posted an image of what the inside packaging looks like, showing the discs in their pockets, to inform potential buyers. At present I am watching the...
