John Wayne The Tribute Collection

This one may be more for fans of the legendary actor than those with only a casual acquaintance with John Wayne since most of it focuses on the B-movies from The Duke’s early career. Still, it’s fun to watch Wayne, looking tall and lean in his youth, as he battles bad guys and rescues frontier damsels in distress. Too many of the movies, however, start to feel too much alike after a while. The addition of a few of Wayne’s later hits, including the classic comedy McLintock featuring one of Wayne’s best leading ladies, the fiery Maureen O’Hara, help make up for the blandness of his early work.
