Buy Three Texas Steers (1939) Now
I LOVE OLDER JOHN WAYNES & WESTERNS. IT IS GREAT TO WATCH THE ACTORS WHEN THEY WERE FIRST STARTING OUT. IF YOU LIKE OLDER WESTERNS YOU WILL LOVE THIS MOVIE.Again a knife-sharp new release with The Three Mesquiteers played by John Wayne, Ray "Crash" Corrigan and Max Terhune. Directed by here-and-there-and-everywhere George Sherman one is sure to get fighting, riding and shooting like a b-western always should be. The dialog is witty and the dear reliable co-actors are highly represented. Among others John Merton, Ethan Laidlaw and always elegant Ted Adams. An ape played by a man in a bad gorilla suit, Terhune's dummy "Elmer" and Terhune suddenly driving around in some caterpillar vehicle is silly but let it be. Three Texas Steers is great fun and action.Just another example of the efforts being made to preserve classic films to DVD. Movie was great of course, it had John Wayne in it. Merchants who stock such classic films are doing a great service to us film lovers.Tuesday, April 29, 2014
Three Texas Steers (1939)
This is a good DVD incarnation of an early John Wayne Republic B western. Well-done and enjoyable. Good, clean copy.I just received this and the other three new BR discs from the John Wayne Three Mesquiteers era. The Amazon.com review of the story almost takes longer to read than the movie is long. I'm just kidding but its a 56 minute film as they all are and I surmise the reason they are on separate discs and so expensive is because the market is small. On all films the picture quality is sharp and stunning at times and the sound is robust. These are fun films and its a hoot to see young Duke riding a big white horse with his oversized white hat. Some of the horse chase scenes in all the films is really stirring as the camera is just ahead of the horses and to see them charging at full speed in HD is pretty cool. These are sort of silly/stupid scripts and sadly Duke Wayne isn't the main star...he is co starring so he's not on camera as much as I'd like but I am a fan and am glad I picked them up. This will be my review for all four films as they were all made within a couple year period all directed by the same man and all pretty enjoyable with their own quirkiness. I just wanted to let folks know that they are a quality presentation and the covers are retro cool with original graphics also displayed on the BR disc itself.
