Westerns and more...

"That most American of film genres, the western, has long enjoyed popularity all over the world. And for more than four decades, westerns have been filmed all over the world, too-- as the TALES OF THE GUN 10 MOVIE PACK clearly demonstrates. Less than half of these are USA-made. The subject matter includes (beside the standard oater) two Mexican Revolution and two Civil War films. An unusual mix, to be sure.



If public domain westerns are your thing, BRENTWOOD HOME VIDEO also offers these two other ten-packs: LAW & THE LAWLESS and THE WILD WEST.
