It means people can live free, talk free. Go or come, buy or sell, be drunk or sober, however they choose. Some words give ya a feeling. Republic is one of those words that makes me tight in the throat. The same tightness a man gets when his baby takes his first step, or his first baby shaves, makes his first sound like a man. Some words can give ya a feeling that makes your heart warm. Republic is one of those words." John Wayne as Davy Crockett in The Alamo (1960).

John Wayne's Tribute to America is an MPI Home Video DVD release. Under its original title Swing Out, Sweet Land, this Emmy-winning variety show was originally broadcast on NBC on November 29, 1970. The 80-minute special was a rousing, patriotic, and unifying reminder of America's greatness. This will be a welcome trip down memory lane, or a nostalgic reminder of a kind of patriotic spirit that had grown increasingly old-fashioned even in 1970. Swing Out, Sweet Land offers an abundance of one-of-a-kind highlights, like Bing Crosby playing Mark Twain; Roscoe Lee Browne as Frederick Douglass; Ann-Margaret dancing up a patriotic storm; William Shatner doing some "serious acting" as John Adams; Lucille Ball as the voice of the Statue of Liberty; George Burns poking fun at Jack Benny in a hilarious walk-on cameo; Ricky and David Nelson as Confederate and Union enemies; Johnny Cash billed as a "locomotive troubadour," singing a flawless rendition of "Ribbon of Steel"; and Bob Hope doing his war-time comedy act... at Valley Forge! That's just a sampling of the stars on hand for John Wayne's Tribute to America.

Also co-starring in this film is Lee Marvin and Gail Russell. This was a comeback film of sorts for Gail Russell as she had not made a film in five years. You will enjoy the fine feature about her on this DVD release titled "The John Wayne Stock Company: Gail Russell". The screenplay was written by Burt Kennedy and one of the producers was Andrew V. McLaglen, son of actor Victor McLaglen. Burt Kennedy went on to direct two John Wayne films, The War Wagon (1967) and The Train Robbers (1973). Andrew V. McLaglen later directed five John Wayne films, McLintock (1963), Hellfighters (1969), The Undefeated (1969), Chisum (1970), and Cahill, United States Marshal (1973).
Also by Paramount was The Batjac Suspense Collection. This is a collection of four films released by John Wayne's production company between 1953 and 1956. John Wayne did not appear in any of these films.
