HI!
The beauty of watching the Duke is that He was such a great actor that you could Believe that was really him! In most of his movies, i felt that could really be him! ( the person he was portraying)! I didn't get that feeling watching his cop movies. Not bad movies, just not high on my list.

The only movies I feel that John simply wasn't believable in are Dark Command and The Conqueror.

As for Brannigan, I totally believed that John Wayne could be that cop, and besides that, his chemistry with Richard Attenbrough is the highlight of the movie. Despite all that he had gone through John Wayne was never less than completely believable as a threat to criminals.

It would have been better is he had done this movie in the late 50's early sixties, but westerns were still his bread and butter.

Quote from wtrayah

it was ok. I thought he was too old to play that type of a cop.

It would be helpful if you would be more descriptive of your reasons for not really liking the movie.

You can create a Data DVD that contains the video file, but you can't create a DVD video to play in regular DVD players.

I tried that on The Barbarian and The Geisha and my programs couldn't break the Digital Rights Management encoding on it.

Thanks for that update on the availability of this film!

After you download, can you burn the movie to disc? I'm not real familiar with Amazon Digital.

Chester

no you can not burn the movie you legally purchased from amazon digital to DVD unless you buy a special program that can break encoding on DRM files.

Since you got me curious, I went and sought what I could find on this matter and what I came up with pretty much is the same as what you came up with.

Murphy is a synonym for deceive.

It's not a bad film... it's an AWESOME FILM! My favorite John Wayne movie. Duke in England is great. I loved his chemistry with Sir Richard Attenbrough

I don't think he was hospitalized if I recall correctly.

One of my favourite movies too. I was in London that year too wished I had met JW.

The chase and crash on Tower Bridge was outstanding!!

Heck, I wish I had met the Duke... but I was born too late.

But my favorite sequence is the brawl for all.

Quote from Robbie

Do you mean Richard Attenborough instead of John Hammond, as I am unaware of any actor within this movie called Hammond.

Actually I was referring to Attenbrough by the name of his character in Jurassic Park.

This is one my favorite John Wayne films, although it is nowhere near his best I thoroughly enjoy this movie. I can watch it many times in a row and not get tired of it, his chemistry with John Hammond is excellent they should have made more movies together. And as an added bonus The Hitman played by Daniel Pilon also terrorized Hulk Hogan in my favorite Hogan movie The Ultimate Weapon.
