Description

Five-volume set of classic John Wayne westerns. In 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance' (1962), big-city lawyer Ransom (James Stewart) heads into the Wild West outpost of Shinbone to bring local outlaw Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin) to justice. En route, he is met by a posse led by Valance, who beat him within an inch of his life. Passing cowboy Tom Doniphon (Wayne) rescues Ransom, gets him set up in Shinbone, and supports his efforts to be elected sheriff. Meanwhile, he also attempts to teach his clumsy proteg� the fundamentals of gunslinging, so that Valance may at last be brought to book. In 'The Sons of Katie Elder' (1965), four sons are re-united when they return home to Clearwater to bury their mother, Katie Elder. John Elder (Wayne) is the oldest brother, a gunslinger. Tom (Dean Martin) is next, a card sharp who shares his sibling's ability with a gun only when his back is to the wall. Matt (Earl Holliman) is the moody one, while the youngest is Bud (Michael Anderson Jr), upon whom the family's hopes of respectability rest. In 'El Dorado' (1966), alcoholic town sheriff J.P. Harrah (Robert Mitchum) does his best to battle the local cattle baron, Bart Jason (Edward Asner). Help is at hand, however, with the arrival of his old friend Cole Thornton (Wayne), an ex-gunfighter who helps him to rid the town of Jason and his cronies. 'True Grit' (1969), saw Wayne finally receive Oscar recognition for his performance as ageing gunslinger Rooster Cogburn. After her father is murdered by outlaw Tom Chancey (Jeff Corey), 14-year-old Mattie Ross (Kim Darby) attempts to track down the killer. She goes to a paunchy, one-eyed marshal (Wayne) - a man of 'true grit' - and together they pursue Chancey into Native American territory. They are joined by La Boeuf (Glen Campbell), a ranger who is hoping to collect the reward on another of Chancey's murders. Finally, in 'Hondo' (1953), cavalry despatch rider Hondo Lane (Wayne) decides to help white settler Helen (Geraldine Page) and her son when the Apaches begin to rise against the white man. Hondo feels his loyalties divided as he is half Native American himself, but sets about helping the settlers and remaining US cavalry escape from the Apache region to safety.
