This clever box set is perfect for John Wayne fans and for people who don’t really know that much about him or his movies. It contains one full feature, the 1963 classic McClintock!, and a series of documentaries with Wayne and other actors and directors of his era explaining why the western was such an important film genre. There are a few TV shows showing Wayne’s lighter side, too. And then there’s the fascinating (and disturbing) No Substitute for Victory, a pro-Vietnam war special Wayne made in response to the ant-war protesters of the 1970s. It alone is worth the price of the set.
