Vera and Stumpy;
I think that most of us think of Duke in Westerns and when we see him in anything else, we judge that film by the Great westerns that we all loved in the old days or we would not be on this Web-Site. 
Jet Pilot and The Barbarian and the Geisha were anything but a Western, but we still watch them. I think it is what you Like, and if you are into the History of Japan or Flying you would watch the films for just that. 
The Barbarian and the Geisha showed Japan as it was in that time in History in their Dress and the way they were at that time. 
Jet Pilot was a about the early 1950s and The Cold War, and even if the Story Line was Weak the Flying scenes where some of the Greatest ever Filmed. 
What ever you think about these Films, here we are talking about them all all these years later!!!
