In the pantheon of celluloid tough guys, three have defined their various eras with a unique style that was largely imitated, but rarely captured, by numerous followers. These are Kirk Douglas, whose dimpled-chin terseness defined the hard-boiled detective films of the 1940s and 1950s; James Cagney, the volatile gangster whose Top of the World, Ma! moment has gone down in Hollywood history; and of course, John Wayne, the Duke, who defined the American cowboy in countless classic Westerns. TOUGH GUYS is a collection of nine films that showcase the inimitable charisma of these actors. Included are the Kirk Douglas films BIG TREES, MY DEAR SECRETARY, and THE STRANGE LOVE OF MARTHA IVERS, the James Cagney flicks GREAT GUY, SOMETHING TO SING ABOUT, and BLOOD IN THE SUN, and finally, John Wayne's films BLUE STEEL, THE MAN FROM UTAH, and THE STAR PACKER.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseBoxed SetFull Frame - 1.33 Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
