Amazon.co.uk Review
This is a John Wayne Western double-bill featuring The Comancheros (1961) and The Undefeated (1969).

Nobody made a fuss about The Comancheros when it came out, yet it has proved to be among the most enduringly entertaining of John Wayne's later Westerns. The Duke, just beginning to crease and thicken toward Rooster Cogburn proportions, plays a veteran Texas Ranger named Jake Cutter who joins forces with a New Orleans dandy (Stuart Whitman) to subdue rampaging Indians and the evil white men behind their uprising.

The Comancheros was the last credit for Michael Curtiz (Casablanca), who, ravaged by cancer, ceded much of the direction to Wayne (uncredited) and action specialist Cliff Lyons. With support from Wayne stalwarts James Edward Grant (co-screenplay) and William Clothier (camera), the first of many rousing Elmer Bernstein scores for a Wayne picture and a big, flavourful cast including Lee Marvin (the once and future Liberty Valance), Nehemiah Persoff, Bruce Cabot, and Guinn "Big Boy" Williams (in his last movie), they made a broad, cheerfully bloodthirsty adventure movie for red-meat-eating audiences of all ages.

In The Undefeated Wayne and Rock Hudson each play a Civil War commander who, after the ceasefire, lead a community of folks into Mexico to make a fresh start. Hudson is a Southern gentleman; Wayne commanded the Yankee cavalry at Shiloh, where Hudson's brother died. Nevertheless, Rock, with his extended family, and Duke, with his troop of cowboys and 3,000 horses to sell to Emperor Maximilian, soon join forces to outgun banditos and beam paternally over the budding romance between their respective daughter and son. Lingering North-South animosities are celebrated in an obligatory communal fistfight, and the showdown with both Maximilian's lancers and the rebel Juaristas is disconcertingly perfunctory. --Richard T Jameson

4.0 out of 5 stars a mixture of good and silly, 8 May 2005
By David D. Coombes (Hitchin, Herts, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This double bill has to be an absolute bargain for two well produced dvds starring John Wayne. The Comancheros is a rousing action packed typical Wayne movie and on its own well worth the four stars. It is The Undefeated story which is, I am afraid, just plain silly. If you suspend belief totally you will be well entertained by this story of two former enemies joining together to help each other. Its just that Wayne is quite believable as the Union colonel. It is the Southern colonel played by Rock Hudson that lets the film down once you start to examine the story. Hudson just does not fit the role of Southern gentleman/colonel. His character is hopeless as a military commander. When his waggons come under attack he has to be told by Wayne to issue guns to the women. He never thinks to deploy scouts in hostile country and really would be a disaster in a real live shooting war. Sporting a silly moustache and wearing a feathered hat he would have been killed in his first real engagement. His acting is wooden and he is hopelessly miscast. His 16 year old daughter falls in love with Waynes adopted son (a full blooded Comanche) and he watches all this with a benign smile whilst a slave owning colonel would have been aghast! Its as if the script writers took a set of stock characters and scenes and just mixed them up to assemble a story. Having said all that if you swallow your disbelief and just enjoy big John doing what big John does best you will chuckle your way through. As I said an absolute bargain at the Amazon price - just switch off your critical faculties at the script for the Undefeated.
