Telegraph Trail, The/Somewhere in Sonora/Man from Monterey, The (DVD) (3FE) (MT)John Wayne made six exciting early-1930s Westerns for Warner Bros. Three make their DVD debut here. The actor poses as a nobleman to unravel a land-grab scheme in The Man from Monterey. The excitement unfolds Somewhere in Sonora when Wayne infiltrates a gang to bring its outlaws to justice. And our buckskin-shirted hero saves the day when villains try to stop the stringing of the earliest mass-communication lines in The Telegraph Trail. Equally stalwart in all three films is Duke, the billed "Miracle Horse" who's as swift as the wind...and as loyal as Rin-Tin-Tin.]]> Review: 5 stars for historical signifigance....fun stuff! - I just purchased this disk and have browsed through the shortish movies in short order....they are fun, obviously b westerns.

I'm looking forward to the other "Three-fer" WB just put on on Wayne as well as the two on Randolph Scott (although his are color films from the 50's so the production values and story lines should be a big jump above this 30's era B Westerns....which by the way I could watch over and over...while "The Departed" which I caught at the theatres a couple weeks ago...Once was enough.

A must for any fan of John Wayne's early efforts; long before he became a national, and international star. As a young man in his mid-twenties Duke, although still trying to find his comfort zone in front of the camera, was an athletic, energetic force to reckon with. The production quality of these early films, along with the screenplays and dialog, typical of the eras B-Westerns, still could not hold back the likeabilty of John Wayne's characters. This trilogy DVD offers the best copy of these films I've seen to date; so don't expect much more than what you get; a good piece of cinema history for the price.

Triple Feature John Wayne DVD. Well worth a look for all Western aficionados
Wayne made six black & white B-Western films for Warner Brothers during the early-thirties the three on show here are all from 1933. They fall midway between THE BIG TRAIL (1929) and STAGECOACH (1938). This period that could well be called his apprenticeship years, they were also highly prolific years in fact Wayne appeared in eleven films during 1933. THE TELEGRAPH TRAIL (55 minutes) John Trent (Wayne) is the buckskinned-army scout who volunteers to finish connecting the telegraph wires across the plains. In the way are evil trader Gus Lynch (Albert J Smith) who stirs up Indian chief High Wolf (Yakima Canutt) to lead a revolt. Corporal Tippy (Frank McHugh) and Alice Keller (Marceline Day) line up with Trent, who is also ably assisted by "Miracle Horse" Duke who incidentally appears in all three movies. Much of the action footage comes from the 1926 silent western RED RAIDERS starring Ken Maynard. For the one and only time in his career Wayne wears a pair of pistols with buts facing forward in the style of "Wild Bill" Elliott. SOMEWHERE IN SONORA (57 minutes) In Twin Forks John Bishop (Wayne) is falsely accused of cheating in a stagecoach race. Bob Leadly (Henry B. Walthalt) vows to clear Bishop, in return learning that young Bart Leadly (Paul Fix) has fallen in with the notorious Monte Black (J. P. Mcgowan) Brotherhood of Death gang and are holed up over the Mexican border somewhere South of Sonora. Bishop sets out on Duke with two sidekicks to rescue Bart. Much use is made of stock-footage from the 1927 silent western of the same name starring Ken Maynard and his horse Tarzan. This film was the first of many that well-known western stalwart Paul Fix would appear with John Wayne THE MAN FROM MONTEREY (57 minutes) In 1848 US army Captain John Holmes (Wayne) is sent from Monterey, California on a mission to convince rich land owner Don Jose Castanares (Lafe McKee) to register his land or else it will fall into the public domain. Unbeknown to Castanares his so called friend Don Pablo Gonzales (Francis Ford) and his son Don Luis Gonzales (Donald Reed) are trying to grab the land from him. Further complicating the issue is Castanares daughter Dolores (Ruth Hall) who is being pressurised into marrying Don Luis. The young Captain Holmes sets out to solve both problems. Once again silent Ken Maynard stock-footage is used throughout. The above Francis Ford was the elder brother of John Ford who would latter direct Wayne over many years in most if not all of his best work. In 1933 the talkies were in their infancy and much of the acting appears a bit stilted at times by today's standards, but they are if you include the stock footage 75 to 80 years old and should be judged as such! Young John Wayne acquits himself pretty well in all three, except for the poor sword fighting sequence in the last film. The quality of transfer to DVD is generally very good with just the odd minor glitch. All together an interesting look at three likable early John Wayne quickie-Westerns.

Lot of Western action in a little package
How can you go wrong with “the Duke” ? Not to be confused with his horse in these films that bears the same name ! These are some obscure early John Wayne entries but a must see and must have for all John Wayne collectors ! These are quickies - a triple feature that run a little over an hour each. Packed with a punch ! Lots of action !

DVDs don't play.
I would never buy from this distributor again. The DVD that they sent to replace first one, which wouldn't play, had same problem. I was looking forward to watching those 3 movies and adding them to my collection.

ok
3 films made during his apprenticeship, not real good but not completely a loss. period of learning.

THREE DOES NOT MAKE A CROWD
HOW CAN YOU NOT GIVE OLD BLUE EYES A FIVE STAR RATING ? THESE WERE EXCELLENT MOVIES WITH GREAT STORIES AND GREAT ACTING. IM GLAD I BOUGHT THIS AS I NOW HAVE OVER 82 MOVIES WITH THE DUKE, JOHN WAYNE.

映画の世界だけでなく、アメリカという国そのものを象徴したヒーローだったと言ってもいいジョン・ウェイン(1907-1979)。1920年代後半から映画俳優の端役として活躍し出し、ラオール・ウォルシュ監督に見い出され、1930年の西部劇大作『 ビッグ・トレイル 』の主役に抜擢されたことはあまりに有名だ。しかし、それで一気にスターダムにのし上がった訳ではない。生涯の師匠ジョン・フォードに出会い、1939年の『 駅馬車 』に出演して人気を不動のものにするまでの約10年は、弱小会社のB級、C級作品に多数出演していたことも、映画ファンであれば知らぬ人はいないだろう。 ウェインは、そんな不遇の時期にワーナー・ブラザース(=ヴァイタグラフ)でB級西部劇6本に主演したが、本DVDは、そのうちの3本("Somewhere in Sonora"は、厳密には「カウボーイもの」と呼ぶべきだろう)を1枚のディスクに収めたもの。同時発売のDVD(" Big Stampede & Ride Him Cowboy & Haunted Gold ")と併せれば、ワーナー時代のウェイン西部劇がすべて手に入ることになる。 ●邦題『討伐隊』"The Telegraph Trail" 西部の伝達手段として、電信が急速に広まりつつあった。そんなある日、電線を引く作業をしていた一団が、インディアンの襲撃を受け全滅する事件が発生。その一団の中に殺された友人がいたことで、砦の兵士ジョン・トレント(ジョン・ウェイン)は、独自に事件の調査を開始する。トレントは、インディアンの後ろに、ガス・リンチ(アルバート・J・スミス)という白人がいることを突き止め…。 電信の発展に絡む陰謀を描いた作品。スケールはかなり小さいものの、後のフリッツ・ラング監督の『 西部魂 』に先駆けたかのような西部劇だ。ウェインは、凛々しく、正義感溢れる軍人を好演。相棒役には、ワーナーのコメディ・リリーフ的役柄を得意としたフランク・マックヒューがキャスティングされ、緊張をほぐす緩い笑いを提供している。 ●"Somewhere in Sonora" 牧童のジョン・ビショップ(ジョン・ウェイン)は、ロデオ大会ではめられて、競争相手に重傷を負わせる事故を起こしてしまう。無実のビショップは、逮捕され拘留されるが、友人のボブ・リードリー(ヘンリー・B・ウォルソール)の助けを借りて、脱獄に成功する。リードリーに恩義を感じたビショップは、ソノラで強盗団"Monte Black"に加わっているリードリーの息子バート(ポール・フィックス)を連れ戻す約束をするのだが…。 ウィリアム・レヴィングストン・コンフォートの原作"Somewhere South in Sonora"の『単騎奮迅』(1927)に続く2度目の映画化作品。無実の罪を着せられる前半とソノラでの強盗団潜入の後半に、特につながりがないのが難点だが、アクションも豊富で(ストック・フッテージも多いが)楽しく観られる一編に仕上がっている。グリフィス作品の常連、ウォルソールの存在感もいい。日本劇場未公開。 ●邦題『南方の騎士』"The Man from Monterey" 19世紀末のカリフォルニア。合衆国陸軍のジョン・ホームズ(ジョン・ウェイン)大尉は、地主のドン・ホセ・カンタレス(レイフ・マッキー)に土地の登記をしないと、所有権が失効することを伝えようとする。しかし、カンタレスの友人であるドン・パブロ・ゴンザレス(フランシス・フォード)は、アメリカが不当に土地を所有しようと目論んでると吹き込み、自分がカンタレスの土地を略奪しようとする…。 ウェインが、ワーナーで主演した全6本の西部劇の最終作。ウェインは、本作でも軍人で、恵まれた体躯を生かして自由自在に動き回っている。ウェインにしては珍しく、クライマックスでは、ガンプレイではなく、剣での乱闘(演出が悪く、かなり鈍重で、手に汗握るという感じではないが)も見せてくれるのも興味深い。後に、生涯の師匠となるジョン・フォードの兄、フランシスと共演しているのは、何とも運命的なものすら感じさせる。 以上3作品ともに、"Looney Tunes"と"Merry Melodies"のプロデューサーとして有名なレオン・シュレシンジャー(彼のキャリアについては、『 ルーニー・テューンズ コレクション バッグス・バニー 』の特典「ターマイト・テラスの男たち」に詳しい)が製作を担当、上映時間は60分弱という、絵に描いたようなB級作品。テンポはいいものの、雑な話運び、緩いアクション描写、表層的で深みない人物造形…といった具合で、お世辞にも出来が良いとは言えない。それでも、ハンサムで痩身で(出演者の誰よりも背が高い)、青臭さがまだ残っている若きウェインの活躍を観られるのは、やはり格別の楽しさなのだ。 本DVDは、かつて発売されていたVHSのマスターを流用するのではなく、新たにテレシネしたマスターを使っているようだ。残念ながら、徹底的なレストアは施されていないので、細かいキズ(大き目の斜めキズなども数ヶ所で認められる)があるものの、白黒諧調も、ディテール表現も上々の画質で、1930年代初期の作品ということを考えれば文句なしだろう。ただし、『南方の騎士』だけは、若干、甘い画質だ。音声も、ノイズやこもる箇所もあるものの、セリフが聞き取れないということもない。英語字幕は未収録。残念ながら、特典などの収録は一切なし。 本DVDは、北米盤ながら、R-1、2、3、4仕様なので(ただし、パッケージ裏には「R-1」と表記)、日本のR-2 プレーヤーで問題なく視聴可能だ。 西部劇ファン、ウェイン・ファンならば、必携の1枚だろう。
