No actor personified the mythic American ideals of rugged individualism and vigilante justice more than John Wayne. This collection features a quartet of vintage Westerns starring Wayne in quintessential lone-crusader mode: THE LAWLESS FRONTIER (1935) finds The Duke returning home after an absence of eight years to track down the renegade bandit who murdered his parents; in THE STAR PACKER (1934), Wayne plays a US Marshall on the trail of an outlaw gang who have been terrorizing a small frontier town; THE HURRICANE EXPRESS (1932) is the condensed version of a 12-part serial in which The Duke searches for a mysterious saboteur who causes train wrecks but eludes capture with a series of masterful disguises; and in THE TRAIL BEYOND (1934), Wayne encounters hidden treasure and a murder frameup while searching for a friend's missing daughter in the Pacific Northwest.

Wayne shows off his funny side in this 1963 western, a comedy inspired by THE TAMING OF THE SHREW. Starring as wealthy cattle baron G.W. McLintock, Wayne shows a real sense of comic timing in several scenes filled with slapstick humor. After his wife (Maureen O`Hara) and daughter leave him for the East, McLintock attempts to win them back. The dynamics between O`Hara and Wayne are the strong suit of this film, the actors having worked together previously on THE QUIET MAN. As this is by no means a revisionist western, McLintock`s chauvinistic attempts to
tame
his wife fit within the problematic ideology of the larger western genre. The ultimate example of this comes at the end of the film when McLintock settles his marital dispute by publicly
spanking
his wife in what is now a notorious cinematic moment.
