TYCOON is an RKO release that features John Wayne as a construction engineer named Johnny Monroe. His job: tunnel through an Andean mountain.

His insistence on corner-cutting (a refusal to line the tunnel with concrete to prevent collapses), and Johnny's romantic pursuit of his daughter Maura (Laraine Day), is also problematic. She has a penchant for following the curious local courting customs, ... Read More

I'm a big John Wayne fan, have more DVDs with him in them than those with any other actor. This one put me to sleep though!

It is slow paced not edited well and not one of the dukes best films. That's not to say its bad it just doesn't move along and doesn't pull you into the story
The Video
The video is bright lots of color in full frame. It has some damage here and there but all in all a watch able ... Read More
