Quiet Man/Rooster Cogburn/Stagecoach (Box Set)

Film Description

This 3-disc Western anthology features The Quiet Man, Rooster Cogburn and Stagecoach, all starring the legendary John Wayne.

The Quiet Man (John Ford, 1952)

An Irish-born American ex-boxer (Wayne) returns to his home village and falls in love with fiery O'Hara while incurring the wrath of her brother McLaglen. Among the screen's most deservedly popular romances, mixing gentle lyricism with comic blarney, 'The Quiet Man's greatest charm lies perhaps in its lovely wild Galway locations.

Rooster Cogburn (Stuart Millar, 1975)

Aka Rooster Cogburn and the Lady. Wayne plays the eye-patched, whisky-guzzling deputy marshall who teams up with a bible-thumping missionary out to avenge the death of her father.

Stagecoach (John Ford, 1939)

One of the all time classic Westerns and the movie that propelled John Wayne to stardom. The film is set against the impressive backdrop of Monument Valley in Utah and tells the story of a mixed group of travellers making their way across country to Arizona. The character studies of the members of the group make a fine film which earned an Oscar for Thomas Mitchell's performance as the drunken doctor.
