The Conqueror (1956)

[Hondo Duke Lane]

The Conqueror is available on this DVD. On-Line purchase is your best bet. There are a total of 5 movies in this collection.

We found another shot of the poster in Keith's introductory post. The coloring is a little different, otherwise it appears to be the same.

on further reflection at risk of over simpifying I think the JW hairpiece was a bad one and yet over all the film still works for me.

I finally saw this film. I'm not sure if I genuinely liked it or if I was prepared for something so awful that I couldn't help but be positively surprised, but I found myself enjoying the film. It was definitely a different John Wayne than I've ever seen before, but I still enjoyed his performance. I didn't care much for Hayward and I thought the shift her character made from hating and wanting to kill Temujin to being madly in love with him was pretty unbelievable, but I enjoyed some of the political maneuvering and deal making and breaking between the tribes. I enjoyed some of the action sequences as well - the last battle had an epic feel to it, at least in the number of participants, but the battle itself was pretty short. So, I'm not really sure how to rank this one. Certainly near the bottom as far as Duke films go, but overall, I still enjoyed it a lot and a bad Duke film (if there truly are any) is still better than almost anything else you can pop in the DVD player.

I've seen this one a few times and own it on DVD, so I'll probably watch it again.
The production values are better than say, the Steve Reeves and Victor Mature sword and sandal flicks. Granted, it's not She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, but I'd prefer to see this one again instead of Circus World.




We deal in lead, friend.

More fabulous scans! Thanks!

This is definitely a movie that needs a blu-ray release. ;)

I couldn't agree with you more Mike! Jet Pilot was the absolute worst movie! I watched it once, barley got through it! The Conqueror had some good fight scenes!
