If only Anderson had been around inJohn Waynes time to offer such sage wisdom to this Western movie legend.
In his time in Hollywood, Wayne was infamous for engaging in mean-spirited rhetoric about other movies.
Why Didn’t John Wayne Like ‘All the King’s Men’?
Wayne didnt just chastise this Rossen feature for robbing him of an Oscar.
He also condemned the project for being unpatriotic.
While rarely a showy actor, Wayne gave plenty of Oscar-worthy performances through sheer magnetism.
Wayne traded in his iconic cowboy hat to portray a vengeful, jilted lover.
Few people rememberThe Shootist, while Eastwoods early and late-period Westerns are forever celebrated.
How does the iconic cowboy fit in a galaxy far, far away?
He was a deeply influential figure whose work with HUAC alone decimated countless careers.
Wayne had a toxic worldview that influenced the film industry then and now.
All the King’s Menis available to rent on Prime Video in the U.S.
