The gunslinger's desire to change his ways is offset by his strong desire to avenge his foster father's murder.Blood On The SunWhile much of the world watched the early success of 'Mein Kampf' and the bombing of Pearl Harbour was ten years in the future few were aware of the existence of an oriental 'Hitler' Baron Lichi Tanaka. But the war had already started in Japan for James Condon American journalist and editor of the Japanese Chronicle whose intuition had led him to believe that major trouble was brewing.The role of Condon man of hard words and harder fists is just the kind of tough guy that first brought James Cagney stardom and in this movie you will not be disappointed as he battles to stay alive long enough to warn the rest of the world against a Japanese militarist plot called the 'Tanaka Plan' that has world domination as its objective.This is one of the first American martial arts movies and features some gripping action with Cagney doing his own stunts for which he trained intensively with Ken Kuniyuki a fifth degree judo master before shooting.This is Cagney at his best.

  Here's an unexpected collection of rare John Wayne Western Classics. An unorthodox Western for its time, anticipating the social and moral issues that Clint Eastwood found in the genre a generation later, Angel and the Badman (1947) is the first film produced by Wayne, which may account for the rather hesitant action sequences and uneasy balance between the hero as gun-toting outlaw and man of conscience who is drawn into a Quaker family and their duty of forgiveness. Gail Russell is sympathetic as Penelope, and there's a priceless cameo from Harry Carey as the sheriff. The two shorter features (54 minutes each) are pre-Stagecoach Wayne, interesting for the light they shed on his development of the authentic Wayne persona. Blue Steel (1934) finds him joining forces with the doughty George Hayes in a scenario that pre-echoes For a Few Dollars More. Winds of the Wasteland (1936) pays tribute to the mail-run pioneers, Wayne and Lane Chandler beating crooked banker Douglas Cosgrove at his own game. The closing stagecoach chase must have seemed thrilling back then. On the DVD John Wayne Western Classics three-disc set is a no-frills presentation, though with decent remastering at 1.33:1 aspect ratio There's no attempt to disguise the low-budget production values of the 30s films, whose undeniable creakiness is surely an attraction in itself. Wayne and Western devotees need not hesitate. --Richard Whitehouse

  DESPITE THE REVIEWS FROM AMAZON.COM ON HERE, this set contains these 5 movies:- ANGEL AND THE BADMAN: Gunslinger Quirt Evans is injured & found by Penelope Wirth & her father Thomas, a Quaker family with values & a way of living in contrast to Quirt Evans'. Quirt & Penelope are drawn to each other, although Quirt has no intention of embracing the Quaker lifestyle. He does, however, intervene to convince a rancher to restore their water supply, even if the family would not have approved of his methods. Evans' rival Laredo Stevens is unimpressed with the new, peaceful Quirt Evans, whilst local Marshall Wistful McClintock stokes up trouble between the two men, certain he'll get one or the other (the survivor) brought to justice in the end...Widely regarded as one of the most romantic of all John Wayne's films, this marked his first production credit. HELL TOWN: A carefree cowhand finally wants to settle down, but before he can he gets involved with rustlers.... McLINTOCK: He Tamed The West But Could He Tame Her? Cattle baron, banker & model citizen George McLintock has the world in his hands. The only thing missing is his wife, Katherine, who left him two years earlier, suspecting him of adultery. In an effort to get on with his life, McLintock saves a beautiful but impoverished widow from resettlement & hires her as his cook, welcoming both her & her two children into his home. Sparks begin to fly & McLintock's simple & serene lifestyle comes to a crashing halt as an unexpected turn of events results in brawls, gunfire, an Indian attack, the engagement of his only daughter & the return of Mrs McLintock! SAGEBRUSH TRAIL: A young cowboy breaks out of jail after being falsely accused of murder & must prove his innocence before the authorities lock him back up... HIS PRIVATE SECRETARY: Dick Wallace, a millionaire's son, tends to chase rather dubious women causing his father to despair of him. When he really falls in love his father assumes the girl is a gold digger...
