Two Great Westerns
This was a gift and I love both movies. First of all these transfers are great. TGG Direct did a great job on these two movies. Both movies are in Full frame format, B&W and there are no special features or other audio language and no subtitles. Plus "Fury at Showdown" has never been on DVD and this is it's first appearance.
"Along Came Jones" (1945/90mins)
Gary Cooper, Loretta Young, William Demarest, Dan Duryea, Frank Sully; Directed by Stuart Heisler
"Fury at Showdown" (2957/75mins)
John Derek, John Smith, Carolyn Craig, Nick Adams; Directed by Gerd Oswald
Overall this is a nice set and I would recommend this to any Western fans or fans of these stars.
Entertaining, but not great
I bought this DVD for the Gary Cooper movie, Along Came Jones, as I had never seen it. Gary Cooper is one of my all-time favorite actors. The film is entertaining, but is not a great film. If you like Gary Cooper, you will watch it for his lightly humorous performance. It is a comedy of mixed-up identities, but with some western violence (guns, shooting, death) thrown in as well. Loretta Young is beautiful; William Demarest is the typical western sidekick; and Dan Duryea plays his usual wonderful, evil villain character. If you don't like westerns, or, if you don't know who Gary Cooper and Loretta Young are, then you probably will not like this film. I recommend it to other "old folks" who remember Cooper, Demarest, Young, and Duryea and who can still enjoy a film of the former type, without the modern special effects.
Love Along came Jones
Along came Jones is a funny and well done western. Fury at showdown is not worth seeing. I bought the pack because it is cheaper to buy this way that just along came Jones.
