The John Wayne Anthology (1991 TV Movie)
10/10
A great tribute to a great actor
23 February 2005
This should have been called "American Heroe of the Movies". It contains many clips from John Wayne's movies, starting with the early days and ending with the "Shootest". With 50 years of making movies and cast in over 150 movies, John Wayne has to be the "American Hero of the Movies. His performance in "The Quiet Man" was a true work of art. John's acting was not limited to westerns. He also played a football coach, trying to raise a young daughter by himself. Ship captains such as "Blood Alley" and "The Sea Witch". War heroes, "The Fighting SeaBee's", "Sands Of Iowa Jima", as well as "Flying Tigers" and "Jet Pilot" also showed his versatility and skill as an actor. My all-time favorite was "In Harms Way" with John playing the part of an admiral. If you haven't seen "Wings Of Gold" you have missed one of the best movies ever made.
