Advantages: Seven films in one box set Disadvantages: none
...four sons, and after she dies, they come home to pay their respects at her funeral.
JohnWayne is the eldest and toughest son who is a gunslinger, Dean Martin, is a poker player who can also use a gun when the need arises.
Earl Holliman is the quiet one, no one ever called him yellow to his face twice, and Michael Anderson Jnr is the youngest, and most respected of the Texans.
El Dorado
Robert Mitchum plays the drunken alchoholic who battles against the demon drink, Ruthless cattle barons and crooked businessmen in the wild west town of El Dorado. JohnWayne is his old friend and Deputy sheriff who helps him bring justice via a few gunfights, lots of action, and humour in this great film.
Hatari
Here JohnWayne leaves the stetson for a bush hat, as he plays a big game hunter, not a ruthless killer, but a trapper for zoo parks...

...I've always been a big fan of John Thaw since seeing an Inspector Morse episode as a young teenager.
His amazing ability to bring a character to life and suck you into the role grabbed me from the offset and I followed his TV work ever since.
John was born in Manchester on 3rd January 1942 and always wanted to be an actor. He was encouraged by his teachers and at the age of 16 he joined RADA and trained as an actor.
John Thaw had parts in many television shows, films and stage shows including: Redcap, The Sweeney, Dead Man's Chest, Thick as thieves and more recently Inspector Morse and Kavanagh Q.C.

Advantages: The great John Wayne, this box set is perfect for Western fans. Disadvantages: None
...I have seen all of these films more than once, if you like the old fashioned American films of yesterday together with the legendary JohnWayne and many more great actors and actresses this is for you.
My favourites are Chisum, Rio Bravo and the wonderful Searchers, with Natalie Wood. The Searchers is a story of a man searching for his neice, together with his adopted nephew. Rio Bravo is a film made later on in his career, and he shows all his charm and charisma also in this film. JohnWayne films never let you down and usually the good guy wins, which is how we all want it to be. The rugged scenery in these films is also great, and as in JohnWayne films there is often a bit of comedy....
