Excuse me but I don't speak english and I buy yours DVD only , when are subtitles in french. For this reason,I talk about McQ in french. C'est un excellent film policier réalisé par un director de talent, John Sturges dont j'apprécie toujours les films (The Magnificent Seven, Bad Day at Black Rock, Backlash, Gunfight at the OK Corral etc.) Il est aussi brillant dans les westerns que dans ses autres films d'action comme celui-ci. John Wayne qui a démissionné de la police, est embauché par un ami détective privé. Il va se lancer dans une passionnante enquête sur un trafic de drogue dont les commanditaires ne sont pas ceux que l'on croyait Malgrè l'âge et la maladie, John Wayne a beaucoup de présence dans ce film qui comporte une scène de poursuite très réussie More Info About This DVD Actor(s): John Wayne DVD Release Date: Released the 03 May 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours

In this convoluted Western mystery, "tall in the saddle" is more of a genealogical clue than an accurate index of the hero's behavior. John Wayne has come to town, so he says, to work for a local rancher--who was murdered shortly after sending for him.Prime villain would appear to be Ward Bond, exuding oiliness as the local judge, who doesn't seem to be a real judge. Paul Fix (who cowrote the screenplay) and Harry Woods supply the thuggery. But mostly it's women that Wayne has trouble with: the dead man's genteel niece (Audrey Long) and her virago of a duenna (Elisabeth Risdon), and especially Ella Raines, who dresses like a man (well, a very pretty boy), runs the neighboring ranch, and falls into instant love-hate with Wayne. (This was Raines's glory period--within a few months in... More Info About This DVD Actor(s): John Wayne - Ella Raines Director(s): Edwin L.

For some reason I never thought of Wayne as playing the role of a German sea captain. Well, he does here and does very well indeed in this very entertaining film. Here he has a decent script to work with that gives him an opportunity to shine. Both Wayne and Turner seem to grow in their respective roles.
The film looks and sounds great on DVD with its original CinemaScope aspect ratio intact. A very entertaing film set on the high seas. Enjoy. More Info About This DVD Actor(s): John Wayne - Lana Turner Director(s): John Farrow DVD Release Date: Released the 03 May 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours

I always find this movie a little sad to watch, I guess because John Wayne looks so old and almost feeble here. This is a much different role from the "Cowboys," where he consciously played an old man. This is the kind of movie he should have made five or ten years earlier. In addition, the plot itself is so feeble that if John Wayne and Ben Johnson weren't in it, no one would watch it. Still I feel an obligation to watch it whenever it's on, perhaps out of loyalty to the Duke for all the great movies he made. Even at age 66, he still had an undeniable presence that transcended the quality of a particualr movie. (And Ann Margret's not bad to look at either!)

After turning down the role of Dirty Harry, John Wayne made up for lost time by starring in this pretty-good 1974 police drama. Shot on location in a gritty pre-Microsoft Seattle, McQ finds John Wayne butting heads with fellow cops and local crime elements as he investigates the murder of a fellow cop and friend. Wayne is obviously a bit long-in-tooth to be taking on this kind of role, but the script allows for some decent character development, including Colleen Dewhurst in a brief but memorable role as a washed-up barmaid, and the action sequences by veteran director John Sturges still hold up well. For anyone who cares, a key drug-heist sequence was shot in the hospital that now houses Amazon.com's Seattle headquarters. --Kristian St. ClairMore Info About This DVD Actor(s): John Wayne - Eddie Albert Director(s): John Sturges DVD Release Date: Released the 03 May 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours
