(3 out of 5 stars)

"The JOHN WAYNE: LEGEND OF A COWBOY box set consists primarily of widely available hour-length Wayne westerns from the 1930s. The distinguishing feature of this five double-side recorded DVD collection however are the 32 film trailers sprinkled throughout the set.



BRENTWOOD 20 movie packs are fairly thick in size because of their design-- the all-plastic box has a middle leaf added to store two of the discs on. This leaf is attached to the box spine by small tabs which may pull away from the main case if not handled carefully. Reassembling the separate pieces can present a challenge best avoided.



If you're a fan of 1930s westerns and would like to add some unusual lesser-known titles to your library, WESTERN LEGENDS 50 Movie Pack from MILL CREEK ENTERTAINMENT is exactly what you're looking for!

Best Early John Wayne Collection EVER!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The title says it all. This collection has just about all the early John Wayne flicks you will find in the other collections. Now if only Brentwood would do another early Duke collection of the rest of the Lone Star pictures and others before Stagecoach. It's my dream."
