An old-fashioned Western with John Wayne at his best as a gunfighter who must choose between the girl he loves and his guns which always seem to attract trouble. When outlaw Quirt Evans (Wayne) is wounded during a bank robbery, he is taken in by a gentle Quaker family and nursed back to health by their lovely daughter Penelope Worth (Gail Russell). Quirt begins to rethink his violent lifestyle after falling in love with Penelope and being hounded by his rival Laredo Stevens (Bruce Cabot) and a laconic U.S. marshal named Wistful McClintlock (Harry Carey). With its excellent script, quirky characters, and a sweet-natured blend of comedy and action, ANGEL AND THE BADMAN is justly considered one of the best Westerns ever made.DVD Features:Region 1 encoding; keep case.

Ranch tycoon John Lear (Patrick Stewart) divides his considerable property between two daughters (Marcia Gay Harden and Lauren Holly). A battle breaks out for the land and Lear learns the value of peace. This reworking of William Shakespeare's KING LEAR is set in a Western milieu with stunning Texas scenery. Using a post-Alamo setting, this adaptation surprisingly retains the complexity of Shakespeare's characters. Originally aired on cable, the film also features terrific supporting work from Roy Scheider.DVD Features:Region 1Snap CaseFull Frame - 1.33Anamorphic Widescreen - 1.85Audio: Dolby Surround - EnglishInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene AccessText/Galleries: Filmographies - 1.

Hayes and Yakima Canutt.THE ANGEL AND THE BADMAN (1947) - An offbeat western with John Wayne as a gunfighter who must choose between the girl he loves and his guns. Outlaw Quirt Evans (Wayne), wounded during a bank robbery, finds himself taken in by a gentle Quaker family and nursed back to health by their lovely daughter Penelope Worth (Gail Russell). Quirt begins to rethink his violent lifestyle after falling in love with Penelope and being hounded by his vicious rival Laredo Stevens (Bruce Cabot) and a laconic U.S. marshal named Wistful McClintlock (Harry Carey).

An entertaining and wholly different type of western, Martin Ritt's HOMBRE is based on a novel by Hollywood favorite Elmore Leonard (JACKIE BROWN). Paul Newman stars as John Russell, a white man raised by Apaches. When his last living relative dies, Russell inherits property that he decides to sell to a man in a neighboring town. So, Russell gets a ride on a stagecoach, along with seven other white passengers, to make the sale. However, when Russell's Apache heritage is discovered, the other passengers force him to ride on top of the coach. Along the way, the coach is raided by thieves who steal its horses and a substantial amount of money from one of the passengers, named Favor. Russell is able to get the money back from the thieves, but Favor's wife has been taken hostage and, robbed of their horses, the passengers are stranded. Russell is indifferent to the fate of Favor's wife, but the group cannot argue because he is the only one among them who knows the way home. Chased by the thieves for the money they still have, the group has to make a stand at an abandoned mine where they call on Russell to save Favor's wife.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 2.35Single Side - Dual LayerAudio: Stereo 2.0 - English Dolby Digital Mono - English Dolby Digital Mono - FrenchAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.

Originally released in 1948, this classic Spanish western revolves around the friendship of two men in the town of Sinaloa, Mexico. While attending a church fair, Luis Aguilar's character comes to the harsh realization that his lifelong friend has stabbed him in the back. In order to protect himself from false accusations for a crime he played no part in, Aguilar must turn on his former best friend. Only when the two men take fists to one another will they discover who really committed the crime. A major highlight of this film is its soundtrack, which is filled with several delightful Mexican songs.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33
