Kaiden and the Blog

For those wondering, I can confirm that Hellfighters, War Wagon, and Rooster Cogburn are all presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen. That makes this collection a nice improvement over the previous non-anamorphic standalone versions of those DVDs. The other features (Reap the Wild Wind and The Spoilers) are in full-frame (1.33:1) format, which I bear was their novel theatrical format.

The five films advance on three disks:

1. Reap the Wild Wind

2. The Spoilers and The War Wagon (both on side A)

3. Hellfighters (side A) and Rooster Cogburn (side B)

The only extras are trailers (except for Hellfighters) and some John Wayne trivia on the inside of the packaging.

Hello Folks,

This is a collection of films that have been out on DVD…being a fan of the Duke ..I honest bought it anyway. I can say I am cheerful already because although Universal doesn’t tout this…the print of ROOSTER COGBURN is a revelation compared to the previous available editions! The previously available DVD of that magnificent film had noticable grain, color problems, and annoying dirt etc. The transfer/print of Rooster Cogburn on this collection is striking in its improved recognize ( a tribute to legendary Cinematographer Harry Stradling Jr who photographed this stunning movie) . I haven’t compared The War Wagon and others yet but I wouldn’t be surprised if they also were an improvement. I picked this up for under $20…and 5 John Wayne films for $4 each is a no brainer…

Happy 100th Duke ..long may you whisk!!

Yeeehaaaaa

UPDATE: I impartial compared the War Wagon with the previously available edition and like Rooster..its a Ample upgrade in narrate quality…this spot gets better and better…snap it up!
