Comancheros, The

Four of the film’s stars provide running commentary with an introduction by actor Ned Romero. There are production stills, script pages, posters and lobby cards and the theatrical trailer.

Based on the 1952 novel by Paul I. Wellman The Comancheros was director Michael Curtiz’s (Casablanca) last film (he died shortly after completion). In a sense, this Collector’s Edition is a tribute to both director and one of the biggest stars ever, the immortal Duke, John Wayne, here playing a duty bound Texas Ranger on the trail of a band of gun-running white men who have corrupted the Comanche tribe with arms and liquor. Both John Wayne and George Sherman, a veteran director himself directed much of the film.
