May 9, 2007 | | Another fine effort from Randolph Scott | |
Another triple feature from Warner Bros spotlights three Randolph Scott flicks. Expect action, gunplay,and some humor in all these. Look for lots of familiar faces like Philip Carey (from General Hospital, I believe), Alan Hale Jr.(Skipper from Gilligan's Island) and Charles Buchinsky (better known as Charles Bronson). Randolph Scott is the picture of your western hero, broad in the shoulder, long and lean with a slow drawl. The plots are more mature than just a shoot-em-up. The best part is three good movies for the price of one. The transfers are excellent. The photography in these shows is beautiful. The price is worth just watching the scenery. If you ever liked the old time western, entertainment the family can watch, do not pass this up.

Really liked the triple feature here. These technicolor films all look and sound great but there are no extras-not even menus. The movies themselves are really what matter and they are well made old-fashioned Hollywood westerns. Thunder on the Plains is by far the best film which goes beyond the reins of the genre with more realistic and serious characters, intense action, real suspense and outstanding photography. Also, Thunder features two great supporting actors, Henry Hull as a cavalry major and Lex Baxter as the young rival! One of the best Randy Scott movies I've ever seen. The other two films are like icing on the cake. The simultaneous release of a second triple feature with Colt .45 and Fort Worth is also a great deal.

Anyone with a good knowledge of Randolph Scott's movie career, would welcome these three additions to his list of westerns available at last on dvd. I remember seeing these movies in theatres as a teenager, and time has not changed them. They each stand up today, as well as they did when released in the 1950's. Anybody with a yearning towards the Hollywood version of the Americian west, (not the real west), like me, will enjoy these movies. A great example of western movie making at it's best, without the need to resort to four letter words and blood splatted violence, to put the story over. (think TV's Deadwood, yuk!). The prints are so clear and in such beautiful condition, that I can't wait to see what will be released next. Pure entertainment, and three movies on one two sided disc is fantastic value. Happy viewing, Frank Harris.
