Description:
From producer Howard Hughes (Hell’s Angels, The Outlaw) and director Josef von Sternberg (Thunderbolt, The Blue Angel) comes the thrilling and often humorous Cold War adventure Jet Pilot starring screen greats John Wayne (Rio Bravo, Brannigan) and Janet Leigh (Touch of Evil, The Manchurian Candidate). Wayne gives one of his most commanding performances as an American Air Force colonel who is sent by the Pentagon to obtain top-secret information from a Russian pilot (Leigh). The two eventually fall in love and, with their marriage as a perfect cover, the colonel is ordered to flee to Russia with his bride—this time with him posing as a defector. When the political charade is discovered, however, the courageous couple must embark on a heart-pounding escape with enemy agents in hot pursuit. Written by Jules Furthman (Spawn of the North, Nightmare Alley) and shot by Winton C. Hoch (Joan of Arc, The Quiet Man), Jet Pilot is a high-flying spectacle that “soars in an ecstatic flight of speed, grace and color” (Andrew Sarris).
Special Features:
-Includes Both the 1.85:1 Widescreen and 1.37 Versions of the Film
-Theatrical Trailer
-Optional English Subtitles

This is a collection that I would guess most people, other than die hard Duke fans, have not seen. Pittsburgh is a great movie with a great supporting cast. Marlene Dietrich, Randolph Scott and even an appearance by Shemp Howard of Three Stooges fame. If you expect Duke to take all, be surprised. Seven Sinners is another romance with Dietrich. Jet Pilot is famous for some really great aerial shots. Chuck Yaeger of sound barrier fame did some of the stunt flying here. Shepherd of the Hills is a beautifully shot movie with Wayne living with a curse. No barroom brawls here nor gunfights from horseback, just good dramatic story telling. The Conqueror is probably the most famous of the movies in this collection. John Wayne is Genghis Khan. You have to see this one to believe it. If you like John Wayne or don't know him that well, buy this collection to see something different from the Duke.
5.0 out of 5 stars The many sides of actor John Wayne
This collection of John Wayne movies is a must have for any collection. While they may not be his best group of movies they are all very interesting. I bought this just to get "The Conqueror", so the other movies were an added bonus. I love John Wayne as Genghis Khan and Susan Hayward as the "tarter woman" that he falls in love with the minute he sees her. It's a very memorable scene. John Wayne's acting style is pretty much the same in any movie he does. It's his larger than life presence that commands your attention to any movie he does. I had not seen any of the other movies in this collection until i bought this dvd. I was not disappointed in any one of them. They each have him playing a different type of character. My favorite one out of the bunch is "The Conqueror" Buy the collection then you can decide which is your favorite Movie in the group. ENJOY!!
5.0 out of 5 stars WWII John Wayne, always great

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good John Wayne Collection - Give It A Chance
Those reviewers who call "The Conquerer" one of the worst movies ever have apparently not seen critically acclaimed stinkers like "Ordinary People" and "Little Miss Sunshine." I mention those two over-rated snoozers because 1. the acting and direction in OP is a lot worse than that in "Conquerer," and 2. the story and characters in LMS are a lot more far-fetched than those in "Conquerer."This is a typical epic film from the 1950s. It features a great all-around cast that does what great casts did back then - deliver a movie at a level that showcased their talent and professionalism. Most of the main characters in this film are taken by well-known and talented actors. It's not like they all suddenly forgot what they were doing. They put their talents to work and it shows.Sure, John Wayne sounds like John Wayne, but wouldn't it be worse if he tried to be something he never was? Do we expect actors to learn a Mongolian accent to speak English dialogue? That would be a lot more farcical than what we have here: a star delivering a star performance that his fans would enjoy. All of the actors adopt a "white man come, big trouble" way of delivering their lines. That's just the way it was in the 1950s, a convention accepted as readily as Nazi officers in movies speaking with a British accent. White people playing Mongols? Well, white people played everybody back in the day.The battle scenes are effective and more-realistic than the norm for the time. The musical score by Victor Young is really delightful, a mixture of quasi-Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakov, with a "love theme" that's quite appealing.Is the story historically accurate? No. Guess what? It's Hollywood.Give this movie a chance, preferably by viewing it uninterrupted on DVD with the sound piped through your stereo set-up. You might be pleasantly surprised.I'll be watching this movie a lot more than I will modern movies with historic/mythical story lines like Kevin Kostner's "Robin Hood" and Mel Gibson's "Braveheart." At least "The Conquerer" does its Hollywood era proud in a way that those updated versions never will."Jet Pilot" was entirely unknown to me. It's pretty standard stuff, except that Janet Leigh gets to light up the screen with her beauty and presence.I plan on reviewing Disc 1 in this set at a later date.Recommended.
