Some of Clint's best........2007-04-10

These are some of Clint's better movies. I will watch them over and over again.

great value.......2007-03-28

Bought these movies for my dad as a gift. So glad I thought to check on amazon. I bought several multipacks of dvd's to give as gifts, saving me the time & gasoline that shopping around would have taken. I feel as tho I couldn't have done better elsewhere.

These movies are awesome. Period. ........2007-01-28

These movies are all amazing. You'll find yourself asking "Who do these people think they are?" to those screwing around with Clint Eastwood, "He's about to kill them and their family".

Another aspect of these movies is the recurring theme of the consequences of violence, especially in Unforgiven. This movie won the academy award and is both thoughtful and violent, not to mention starring Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman along with Clint Eastwood.

This price for the 3 ($19.99) can't be beat. Unforgiven alone generally retails at about $14. Highly recommended!

Love Clint Eastwood.......2007-01-20

Clint Eastwood is the best, from his early movies to the ones he is currently doing now. He gets better with age, like a fine wine...

Why am I bothering?.......2007-01-19

If you seriously have to read a review as to why this boxed set is so great than you are a lost cause. However, if you have been living in a cave or just got rescued from a deserted island after being gone for the last 30 years or so, than I guess your off the hook.

If you fall into the latter, than suffice it to say that 2 of these are the greatest Clint Eastwood movies of all time. "Unforgiven" itself transcends the western into something so fantastic that I don't have time here to list the reasons why. Just buy it!!!!!!

Having created an instant classic the previous year with their superlative production of Wuthering Heights, producer Samuel Goldwyn, director William Wyler, and cinematographer Gregg Toland reunited for this classic Western from 1940, which earned Walter Brennan his record-setting third Academy Award. Gary Cooper reportedly hesitated to take his role, knowing that Brennan would likely steal the show with his splendid portrayal of "hanging" lawman Judge Roy Bean, but Wyler persisted and Cooper signed on as the drifter who faces Judge Bean under the false accusation of stealing a horse. Cooper smooth-talks his way out of his hanging by claiming to be a close friend of stage star Lily Langtry, with whom the judge is unabashedly smitten, but tensions rise when Cooper comes to the defense of a group of struggling homesteaders that Brennan is trying to drive away. This leads, of course, to a classic showdown in true Western tradition, and under Wyler's able direction The Westerner takes its place among the finest examples of the genre. And while Brennan does indeed steal the show, Cooper needn't have worried--he's every bit the hero in a battle with one of the silver screen's most memorable villains. --Jeff Shannon

Well-done western about Judge Roy Bean.......2005-12-04

Among the better Western movies, with Walter Brennan as Judge Roy Bean and Gary Cooper as the saddle bum who becomes Bean's friend and then turns against him when Bean harasses the homesteaders. Cooper is brought before Bean for horse stealing, but Coop gets off by inventing a story about Lily Langtry, Brennan's fantasy love, who falls for it. He keeps stringing Brennan along with the made-up story throughout the picture, which becomes a bit trying at times. Cooper's stiff "Yups" can drive you crazy after a while, too.

But Brennan is excellent (he deservedly won an Oscar), and the shoot-out ending in the empty theatre between Coop and him, where Brennan gets to meet his Langtry backstage just before dying, is well done. The music (by Alfred Newman, who went uncredited) is a bit on the "HEAVY" side and over-emphatic, as if to make sure we get the point and have the right reactions. But the Gregg Toland photography is marvelous, and William Wyler's direction is superb. Definitely worth a watch.

"Every man gets a fair trial before we hang 'em!" - Judge Roy Bean.......2005-10-18

One of the greatest of American directors, William Wyler is known for such classic films as MRS MINIVER, ROMAN HOLIDAY, and BEN-HUR. It is less well known that Wyler began his career directing a long list of cheap westerns for Universal Pictures in the 1920s. After establishing his reputation as a major film director in the 1930s (with such films as DEAD END, JEZEBEL, and WUTHERING HEIGHTS), Wyler returned to the western genre in 1940 intent on making the finest western to date. The successful result of this endeavor was THE WESTERNER.

Gary Cooper stars as the smooth-talking drifter Cole Harden, and William Brennan plays a villainous, yet often likeable, Judge Roy Bean. Brennan's portrayal of Bean would deservedly win him his record third Oscar in a five-year span. Much of the film is focused on the relationship between Harden and Bean. Harden's manipulation of Bean is humorous and masterful as he manages to become the first accused man to avoid hanging in Bean's saloon/courthouse. Ultimately, the odd friendship that develops between the two men crashes: a result of Bean's unwavering support of the local cattle ranchers against the newly arrived homesteaders in a tragic range war which is tearing the county apart. In the end, Harden and Bean must meet in a classic showdown, but unlike most movie showdowns, we have sympathy for both characters.

Walter Brennan is the true star of this picture in what has become the definitive portrayal of Judge Roy Bean. Bean is a real villain in this film, but Brennan makes him complex and likeable nonetheless. If it wasn't for his star power, Cooper should have received second billing in this movie, since the Bean role is clearly the dominant one. Brennan's solid reputation and identification as a character actor may have contributed to his relegation to a supporting role, but again, a supporting role in name only.

Doris Davenport plays Jane Ellen Mathews, the lady farmer that Harden/Cooper falls for and takes up with against Judge Bean. The ensemble cast includes such notables as Chill Wills and Paul Hurst as well as Dana Andrews and Forrest Tucker in their first screen roles. Cinematography is by the great Gregg Toland (CITIZEN KANE, THE GRAPES OF WRATH) and Samuel Goldwyn produced the film. Director William Wyler ultimately achieved his objective: THE WESTERNER is truly one of the great westerns of all time.

Jeremy W. Forstadt

A marvelous and strikingly unique Western.......2003-04-30

This is one of the most unusual and delightful Westerns ever made. What sets it apart is the relative lack of action, the way that director William Wyler shifts most of the interest onto the relationship and interpersonal interplay between Cole Hardin (Gary Cooper, in one of his finest Western roles) and Judge Roy Bean (Walter Brennan). The way the two move from instant enemies, to unexpected friends, to uneasy opponents, to reluctant enemies, and finally back to sympathetic friends is masterfully portrayed. As fine as Cooper is, much of the credit lies with Brennan, who became the first person to win three acting Oscars by picking up his third Best Supporting Actor Oscar. Unlike his other Oscar wins, this role was essentially a lead role. Although many actors have portrayed Judge Roy Bean over the years, Brennan's is the definitive one, despite being the least historically accurate. If his version isn't the most faithful, it is the most compelling. He manages to be utterly absurd, dangerously unpredictable, and utterly likable at the same time.

The story essentially falls into two halves. The first involves Gary Cooper's accidental identification in Judge Bean's saloon as a horse thief, his trial and conviction, and clever manipulation of the Judge to gain a reprieve. The second half concerns Cooper's taking sides in a range war, siding with a lone female farmer against cattlemen. Both halves are brought together nicely in Cooper and Brennan's final struggle that ends the film.

Along with Walter Brennan and Gary Cooper, the real star of this film is Gregg Toland, whose cinematography rivets the viewer's attention on the screen from beginning to end. Toland, who died tragically young in 1948 at the age of 44, is universally regarded as one of the very greatest cinematographers of all time, and THE WESTERNER was one of his finest efforts in a very, very great streak of films over a relatively short period of time. In the period running from 1939-41, Toland was responsible for filming such extraordinary classics as WUTHERING HEIGHTS, THE GRAPES OF WRATH, THE WESTERNER, and CITIZEN KANE. Has any cinematographer ever had a two-year period matching this one? I saw THE WESTERNER years before I knew who Gregg Toland was, but I long retained the memory of several of the amazing shots Toland framed. He was a favorite of director William Wyler, who would employ him often during Toland's tragically short career.

Toland's photography manages to give this film an epic feel and scope, while the tensions in the relationship between Cooper and Brennan make it a highly intimate film. This is easily one of the most unique Westerns in the history of Holly, and one of the best.

Cooper cracks necks with the best of em'.......2002-12-19

The Westerner is simply one of the best westerns ever made. It has all of the elements of the genre, the lonesome drifter (Cooper), the half-evil judge (Brennan as Judge Roy Bean), the "searching-for-a-real-man" women, the gang of thug rustlers (played by a gang of various thugs), the wimpy farmers (played by a bunch of wimpy farmers), the raunchy bar-room singer (played by a lock of golden hair), and the climatic shoot-out (Cooper versus Brennan). The scenes that steal the movie are those in which Cooper kindly agress to gently crack Judge Roy Beans stiff neck with a quick twist. You can hear the pops and also feel the relief as you watch.

THE Classic Western.......2002-08-01

Anyone who likes westerns will treasure this
gem. Cooper and Brennan at their best. Wyler's
direction and Tiomkin's music unequaled.

Zane Grey Collection.......2007-02-07

I ordered this for my father who is 85. He is an avid Zane Grey reader and I thought he'd like the 'old time movies' by the same author. He really enjoyed them, said they were like the ones he'd enjoyed as a boy on Saturday at the movies. My mother even enjoyed watching them, and she HATES movies. Great purchase, I would recommend them to any Western Movie Lover out there.

Customer Reviews:

THERE IS NO HISS IN THIS MOVIE.......2006-12-30

The above reviewer needs to get a new hearing aid - there is no annoying hiss throughout EITHER FILM on this DVD.

Marengo Films spends a small fortune putting our films through the sound design process and for a reviewer to assert SOMETHING BOGUS is disheartening. We GUARANTEE THIS IS NOT TRUE.

Both of these prints are superb - the sound is as perfect as we can make it. There are two "effects" in THE FIGHTING WESTERNER which are in the actual sound track - the wind from a storm & sounds from a factory stamper.

We will refund TRIPLE YOUR COST if you find a hiss throughout a film on this DVD or ANY SOUND TRACK on any DVD Marengo Films puts out. Unlike some studios WE GUARANTEE OUR PRODUCT. These are the finest prints of these old Buckaroo's on the market - ENOUGH SAID except that we very much appreciate your business.

RADIUM MINE/HORSE TRADERS.......2004-12-12

FIGHTING WESTERNER-Randolph Scott investigates a murder at a radium mine. This was initially a Paramount release based on a Zane Grey story. It doesn't have that hurried feel of a B-movie(if this was) and the sets/locations are substantial. Of note is the sound of the mine machinery. The heavy clomp-clomp really is foreboding. The images are pretty clear, but there is an annoying hiss throughout the movie.

Boots and Saddles-Gene Autry has to sell horses and win a race to save the ranch. This was a Republic release. I'm not a fan Autry, but this movie is fairly engaging. You've got a couple of tunes, some comic relief and horses. The image is clear and there is no hiss.

Both movies were made before 1940.

Product Description

It begins with a hanging in Vinegarroon, where the self-styled "Judge" Roy Bean (Walter Brennan) holds sway. Cole Harden (Gary Cooper) rides into town on, what proves to be, a stolen horse. Entering Bean's saloon, which doubles as a courtroom, Cole is soon on trial--with his horse as a witness. The case is summarily concluded, the jury convenes in the poker room with a bottle of whiskey, and while they drink, Cole has a little time to think of how to save his neck. The judge seems to like him, and maybe likes English actress Lily Langtry even more. Maybe if Cole has seen, or even met, the legendary Lily....As THE WESTERNER moves from its laconic opening to its climactic opera house showdown, it crosses its buddy-rivalry story, with a homesteaders-versus-cattlemen subplot and the story of Bean's fascination with Lily Langtry.
