John Wayne Adventure Three-pack (Donovan's Reef / Hatari! / In Harm's Way)

They are John Wayne classics. Nuff said!

John Wayne was one of the most prolific stars in history appearing in around 180 movies from 1929 until he died. These are three good movies to get and to get them in a single package like this at a great low price is well worth it. Donovan's reef is set in the Pacific sometime after the war and focuses on two former navy buddies trying to protect a friend from a surprise visit from his daughter who grew up snooty Boston. It is fun to watch the back and forth play between John Wayne and Lee Marvin througout the movie. Hatari is based on the animal collectors in Africa that supply Zoo's with their wild animals. The group led by John Wayne are joined by a female photographer to work beside them in catching animals for a particular Zoo. She will fall in love with John Wayne in the process and gets in trouble with baby Elephants along the way. One of the better scenes in the movie is Red Buttons character setting a rocket system to catch monkeys, launching it and then talking about it later. In Harm's Way is based off a book by the same title set during WW2 in which Wayne plays the lead character with a good ensemble cast that includes Kirk Douglas. This is loosely based on the Guadalcanal/Solomons fighting.

Some light hearted, like Donavon's Reef. Others quite serious, Island In The Sky. All show J. W. at the top of his game in films often over looked. This is a great buy for any movie fan who is tired of bad language and shallow action scenes. All are solid stories and are worthy of a permanent slot in any well rounded video library. The perfect cure for the common complaint " 286 channels to choose from and nothing is on tonight!"

my husband is a real john wayne fan - he can watch a jw movie and know the words he's going to speak before he even opens his mouth. the 3 movie set is a nice one and he likes it very much. the only negative was that the film was a little grainy; however, that is to be expected, they are very old films. all in all, it was a great purchase, with the fastest service we have ever had through amazon, and I know he will watch them over and over.

There are three movies in this DVD, all of which are excellent. I believe the best of the three is 'In Harm's Way' where John Wayne played a naval admiral and saved 'Operation Skyhook' for the U.S. This story is loosely based on the Guadalcanal campaign which began with the Marines of the 1st Division landing there in 1942. Wayne was excellent in this portrayal. The second movie is 'Donovan's Reef', a comedy but very good indeed with Lee Marvin, Jack Warden and the beautiful Hawaiian Islands, worth the time to view and finally, 'Hatari', a wild animal adventure in Aftrica and the caputure of a massive Rhino being the main plot. Red Buttons stars with the Duke.The disk was shipped in a very timely manner and well in advance of the promised time and the condition was excellent. If your a fan of John Wayne in his mid-career, this is a must for your video library.

Love this 3-pack of the Duke! All 3 of these movies are among my favorites. "In Harm's Way" is the very best of all John Wayne's movies, in my opinion. It is full of action, some comical moments, romance, suspense, and a pretty good description of the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941......what more could a person ask for?!!! Hatari has some of those same ingredients , and is sheer delight to watch over & over, if for no other reason......just to watch the animal scenes. Donovan's Reef is mostly comedy, but it has the added attraction of some excellent scenery. I am a dedicated fan of the Duke, and I can highly recommend this package for hours of great entertainment

My husband & I are big John Wayne fans & this collection is so wonderful. Our favorite movie is "The High & the Mighty" as you sit on the edge of seat wondering how it will all end. We enjoyed the theme song for "The High & the Mighty" very much. "Island in the Sky" is so exciting & not as familiar to fans as the other films are but just as good as the others in this collection. "Donovan's Reef's" is a comic delight with lots of Hawaiian music thru-out the movie. This one was our 2nd favorite & "Island in the Sky" was our 3rd favorite. You don't want to miss "Hatari" & "In Harm's Way" as they're very enjoyable. What a good collection of John Wayne movies!!!

John Wayne Adventure Three-pack (Donovan's Reef / Hatari! / In Harm's Way) If you are even looking at this Video then I imagine you are a "Duke" Wayne fan. This disc has three of hisfamous movies on it. Donovan's Reef is a well known trip into paradise, Hatari is just plain John Waynethrills and adventure, and In Harm's Way is one of his WW2 classics. No matter how many times I have seenIn Harm's Way I still get butterflies in my stomach while watching.Classics, Classics, Classics. John Wayne at his best.Get this Video, buy chips, dips, and drinks, invite some friends over and you will have a real great classicmovie night. Everyone has seen these movies yet everyone will be silent during parts of these moviesas they remember their favorite parts.I like it and I am glad I spend the money to get it.

I like John Wayne. He is one of the most charismatic actors. His westerns are better than these, but all three are watchable, especially Donovan's Reef. It is a kind of Christmas story, a warm family film and gives a good feeling. Hatari has no clear story. It is a collection of animal catchings and various people who are not that interesting. Wayne is of course good again, and Patricia Neal, too. In Harm's way sits at two chairs. Is it melodramatic love story or war picture? It tries to include too much into its story.

This is the best John Wayne 'box' collection I have. How could it be otherwise with directors John Ford, Howard Hawks and Otto Preminger for this adventure triple. I am a John Wayne fan and to me this is Definitely the best of the best.

This pack of DVDs is typical John Wayne and have been reproduced as if they were new releases as the quality is excellent.The service from this seller is first class

It was what I wanted and was delivered on time

Great for John Wayne fans. Never seen this movie before. Really good quality. Would recommend to any of his fans
