 Fox Western Classics July 24, 2008
All three movies are good with some of the best actors of this period. I have enjoyed Westerns for some time. Growing up in the 50's and 60s it was a Smorgasbord at the movies and on TV. Now Westerns are few and far between and even on cable TV there are only a couple of networks that televise them. Any fan of this genre should definitely add this three movie set to their Western collection. This set can't be found just anywhere, and not even Netflix rents these movies. I highly recommend this set at Amazon for the amazing low price of $10.99, and you won't find it cheaper if you can even find it. If you have Prime Shipping you get them in a couple days and you're in for some great entertainment. Great quaility DVDS with good replayability. If you enjoyed these catch "Stalking Moon" and "Cimarron". - C. Luster
 "Fox Western Classics" delivers a real bargain June 28, 2008
Fox Western Classics offer three major, but rarely televised, westerns from the early 1950s. A real treat, and the best of the three in my opinion, is the "Garden of Evil". This is a really fun adventure/western that has Gary Cooper offering lines like "let's ride!" and this retort to Susan Hayward's comment about Richard Widmark staying behind to take on the Indians alone; "Somebody always stays and get's it done." I am not a Cooper fan but after seeing him in this film, I better understand his appeal. The source material for the disc is excellent and the widescreen color presentation of some very exotic Mexican locales is worth the price of the dvd. This film also has a musical score by Bernard Herrmann.
"Rawhide", directed by Henry Hathaway (as was Garden of Evil)features Tyrone Power and, again, Susan Hayward in a black and white western that is also quite well done. The dvd presentation is excellent.
Gregory Peck "stretches" as an actor by playing a semi-bad guy (complete with a villian's mustache) in "The Gunfighter". Another good western character study and another excellent dvd presentation.
All three films are major "A" budget projects from the 50s that are not often seen anywhere, not at revivals, not on television, and, not to my recollection on VHS tape.
A real bargain for anyone looking for a quality western dvd package.
Classic West June 28, 2008
Three great westerns in one pack. For $14.99 this is a great deal. Each DVD has its own slim keep case, rather then a clumsy 'cardboard custom case', which actually is a great relief.
All three movies are digitally remastered, the picture and sound are good. 'Garden of Evil' comes in widescreen and color. The rest are B&W and presented in full screen. All three movies are equally entertaining with great acting. The Special Features included along with each movie is great. Another neat stuff from 20th Century Fox.
If you are a classic western fan, then go grab this one right away.
Great classic westerns June 21, 2008
Often when you purchase a set of DVD s you get one good movie. Here in this three box set you get three great classics. If you like old westerns you will love this set. Plus, I have been looking for Garden of Evil for years but could never find it. Enjoy|
Garden Of Evil is in 4 channel sound!! June 13, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Garden Of Evil a nice surprise if you have a Dolby Digital surround sound system in your home theater. 3 channels across the front with one surround channel in back. That mixed with the widescrren picture in Technicolor makes for an excellent presentation. The other 2 movies are only in mono in their original full screen format. Still they are prestine transfers.
I'll be playing all 3 of these from the DVD's in the next couple of days. So how did I know that Garden of Ecil was in 4 channel stereo? Simple, I played the beginning of the movie after the trailer....
