Great Film by Great Film Director!
This is a wonderful film which was the basis for O'Brother, Where Art Thou? by the Coen Brothers years later. A wealthy film director decides that his comedies are trivial and he must make an "important" film about the lowest classes in the United States. He poses as a hobo and travels California to get to know the lowest classes, at one point meeting Veronica Lake. His lark takes a turn ...

On of the 5 Best Westerns (Color) ever made...
This is an essential film among the westerns. It deserves the reputation it has, among western film lovers, Peckinpah fans, Randolph Scott admirers, and cult film enthusiasts (it is considered a cult film because, while virtually ignored upon initial release, it's reputation has grown in stature immensely over the years). It is one of those rare films that gets even better the more you see it. ...

"There are two kinds of people..."
"There are two kinds of people - those who don't do what they want to do, so they write down in a diary about what they haven't done, and those who are too busy to write about it because they're out doing it!" There is a housing shortage in Washington during the war, and when wealthy Benjamin Dingle (Charles Coburn) arrives early to his hotel for a meeting, he finds that he will not have a ...

"Dead End" is Dead On!
This is such a wonderful movie from 1937 which stars Joel McCrea, Sylvia Sidney, and a quite youthful and convincing Humphrey Bogart. But in my eyes the real stars of the movie are the Dead End Kids. Billy Halop, Huntz Hall, Leo Gorcey, Gabriel Dell, Bobby Jordan and Bernard Punsly were the original Dead End Kids in the Broadway play "Dead End". When the studio brought it to Hollywood to be ...

A great family comedy
A terrific comedy for the whole family. It takes place in the 1940s but the story and acting is superb. A great addition to any DVD library!

The Gunfight at Dodge City
The Gunfight at Dodge CityReceived the DVD 12/06/08 which was before the date given (all that I have ordered from you have been). On arrival the packaging was damaged and the case and insert were also, but have used another case which I had. But have watched the movie and quality was exceptional, good story line and a good cast and in my mind Joel McCrea is up there with John Wayne, Randolph ...

Mommy, Can Zoroff Come Out to Play?
The Most Dangerous Game is actually what my group of friends call our late-night, hardcore Scrabble sessions. Many have been injured, a few have even died. Heck, most of the time I even wear full football pads. But actually, the Most Dangerous Game is a sadistic big game hunt orchestrated by a borderline-vampire Russian count by the name of Zoroff on a desolate island--and he's hunting ...

remarkable!
A masterpiece by the Grand Master himself (Alfred Hitchock) this film stands up to all measures of time. Entertaining, suspenseful, educational, and simply brilliant in all traditional Hitchock ways, this movie is a must see for anyone who enjoys movies. The script is the strongest here, but exceptional performances, superb editing, and talented cast and crew make this film truly extraordinary. ...

One of Joel McCrea's best
After 1945, Joel McCrea, like his friend and contemporary "cowboy" Randy Scott, acted almost exclusively in Westerns. Several of those he made for Universal stand out---CATTLE DRIVE, SADDlE TRAMP, and BORDER RIVER, in particular. But he also made THE OUTRIDERS (MGM), WICHITA (Allied Artists), and several others of very good quality [let's hope these get released on silver disc soon!]. STRANGER ON ...

All I have to say is this is one of THE most perfect films ever made! I mean, come on, how can you beat a movie that has all of the best main ingredients, ie. ~ Joel McCrea is all of his perfect glory! ~ Joel McCrea fawning over Percy Bysshe Shelley's writing in all of his perfect glory ~ A lovely period film with wonderful acting and actors! ~ Did I mention Joel McCrea?

Good Movie!
Although historically inept, the movie has a fine empathetic performance by Joel McCrae, and a surpisingly sympathetic view of Native Americans. Well made, briliant color and epic scope it is a fine addition to anyone's Western collection. Just don't believe anything in it.

About the dvd
Other reviewers talk eloquently about this great film. I just wanted to add that the image transfer is a really nice surprise, coming from Artisan. This is a pristine ultra-sharp great looking image, with some nice movie grain. If you pass this movie up, it shouldn't be for fear of sloppy dvd work.

I love this movie and was so thrilled Amazon.com had it online on DVD. Frances Farmer shone so brightly in this film as did Edward Arnold and Walter Brennen. For film buffs this is a keeper and a must. Thank you Amazon.com.

landmark thriller classic
Filmed concurrently with "King Kong", THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME (based on the award-winning short story by Richard Connell) was not the same huge box office smash when it originally opened, but the intervening years have been very kind to this outstanding thriller. After surviving a deadly boat explosion, world-famous hunter and author Bob Rainsford (Joel McCrea) swims ashore to a mysterious ...

most of these can be found in the 10 packs,but if you don't want it this is next best thing
if the 10 packs are to big or to much to pay at one time, then this 4 pack of good westerns is the way to go. some good movies here and the price is right.

Oh come ON, my man GODFREY!!!
Mike is correct in his rating of this DVD, as well as the Marengo product in general. For a mostly Public Domain DVD company, it doesn't get much better than Marengo Films.
