Roy Rogers 20 Movie Pack (4 DVD)

I do like the movie pack except for disc # 3, could not get it play in the DVD player, would continually get stuck and only played part of one movie and the last one otherwise there all the rest that were unavailable which is upsetting. Can this disc be replaced by you?

We bought this for our grandson who is a Roy Rogers fan. He said the first movie wasn't very good, but enjoyed the rest.

Sure the black & white film during night scenes is not too clear. But what fun to see these films from my childhood.

The Roy Rogers anthology collections have good deal of overlap and that is how I discovered that a substantial portion of Heldorado had been edited out - I assume for the purpose of fitting several movies on a disk. In Heldorado's case, this gives the characters a kind of goofy maniacal quality that might make someone think they would make good subjects for Mystery Science Theater 3000. For instance, Dale Evans, a wealthy heiress in the movie, walks around at the beginning of the movie flipping a quarter like George Raft. Roy had tipped her the quarter when he mistook her for a hat check girl in a scene that was deleted but which set the stage for their relationship. Another scene that was deleted was a parade scene in the middle of the movie, much longer and more revealing than the one at the end, which showed downtown Las Vegas in 1946. It was fascinating but not for the purchasers of this collection. Those are but two of many annoying examples of this which made dialogue and continuity appear inappropriate and disjointed. I haven't checked any of the other movies for this but it is a flaw that makes it a poor buy to me. The movie in proper form is excellent - one of my favorites. I would purchase these if they were not available anywhere else - which many are.

I don't have cable so I have not seen these movies in years. Quality is not exactly perfect but it's plenty good for me. Amazing the films held up all these years. The one thing I've missed most all these years is the unique sound of the Winchester rifle's and the Colt handguns, even though real firearms don't sound like that. Thanks Amazon for having these DVD's available for us. G. Burton
