"With the ULTIMATE JOHN WAYNE COLLECTION, MILL CREEK ENTERTAINMENT combines their JOHN WAYNE, THE EARLY YEARS and JOHN WAYNE 20 MOVIE PACK into one convenient box set. There's 20 films here as well as three complete (12 episode) serials. An additional bonus is the TV documentary, "The American West Of John Ford," which is hosted by Wayne (and others). The ULTIMATE JOHN WAYNE COLLECTION is quite comprehensive, and a must-have for all fans of Duke.
ROY ROGERS 20 Movie Pack is another excellent DVD set from MILL CREEK.

Ultimate John Wayne Collection

"This DVD collection contains two three-DVD sets, John Wayne - The Early Years and John Wayne 20 Movie Pack. The Early Years contains three 12-episode B&W features from the early 1930's. The 20 Movie Pack contains B&W movies from the 1930's, a 1963 color movie, and a 1971 feature length color documentary "The American West of John Ford". As one might expect, the B&W episode and movie audio is noisy and subpar by current standards, but the entire collection gives an idea of the development of the motion picture technology and the character of John Wayne. The collection is of historical value for this reason and is more than just entertainment."
They sucked!

"These videos were such poor quality they were unwatchable - I bought them as a gift for a friend and he gave them back after trying to watch one movie. It was a two-box set and he didn't even open the other box.
Please don't waste your money on these.
I returned them to Amazon and they only gave me $1.02 credit on them."
