among the best WWII movies,
By
This review is from: John Wayne War Collection: 4 Film Favorites - They Were Expendable / Operation Pacific / Flying Leathernecks / Back to Bataan (DVD)
Four thumbs up and I have only two!The best of the four movies is They Were Expendable, about the beginning of the PT boats in the Pacific theatre. (Yes this is the type of boat John F. Kennedy captained.) The lead star is Robert Montgomery, whose daughter incidentally was Elizabeth, star of the old Bewitched series. His acting is a lot better than John Wayne's and he was a Navy veteran during the war. Back to Battan is also good with Anthony Quinn playing a Philpino resistance leader. I note that all four movies are thre-star.

John Wayne WW II in the Pacific,
By John T. M. Mood "TV lovin' DVD freak" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: John Wayne War Collection: 4 Film Favorites - They Were Expendable / Operation Pacific / Flying Leathernecks / Back to Bataan (DVD)
This is an excellent collection of John Wayne movies that are all set in World War II in the Pacific Theater of Operations. Each film individually stands on it's own as a very good depiction of the dedication, perseverance, sacrifice, and bravery of our United States armed forces fighting incredible odds in the Pacific area of World War II. "They Were Expendable" is set against a backdrop of the early use of the PT Boat, as President John F. Kennedy served on. (JFK himself is NOT depicted). "Flying Leathernecks" is a little more title obvious is about Marine Corps fliers in WW II. "Operation Pacific" is about the submarine warfare aspect of WW II. Back To Bataan" depicts the fight in the Philippines and the way the US Armed forces worked with the Filipino freedom fighters in their effort to resist the Japanese.They are all good films, each worth the cost of the set, and then some. So grab up the set and get a bargain. You may want to stock up on popcorn and have a weekend film festival. 24 of 25 people found the following review helpful

Truly pleased by John Wayne fan.,
By S. Folsom "sfolsom" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: John Wayne War Collection: 4 Film Favorites - They Were Expendable / Operation Pacific / Flying Leathernecks / Back to Bataan (DVD)
I purchased this title: John Wayne War: 4 Film Favorites for my favorite John Wayne fan. He tells me the films are clear and bright and he could not detect any "editing" out of favorite scenes. The films are full length, the sound is crisp and clear. I will be purchasing other films for him as gifts.

This review is from: John Wayne War Collection: 4 Film Favorites - They Were Expendable / Operation Pacific / Flying Leathernecks / Back to Bataan (DVD)
The movie is great!!!!! The four in one DVD stunk. The quality was poor. Everytime the movie would change to a new scene the movie would freeze. It was a pain to watch. From now on I'd rather have the single DVD.
