"The Proud Ones"
is a fairly exciting story. The trouble is that you can confuse it with a good
many other westerns. They have put in some of those ready-made characters that
make it look like a lampoon on westerns. |

Super detail and strong colors in this Fox transfer to DVD. The widescreen ratio looked great on my system. It may be the best image of the 4-disc boxset. No extras save a trailer and the price reflects its bare bones production.
As far as I am concerned you can't go wrong with a Robert Ryan western and I have always loved Jeffrey Hunter's work (from Jesus to Captain Pike). Virginia Mayo seemed to overact a bit in my opinion, but the film is a keeper for western genre fans. |
