Yet despite his popularity and success, he was unfairly dismissed as a ""B"" movie actor lacking elegance, creativity, range, and depth. ""American Titan"" challenges conventional wisdom and reevaluated Wayne's life and vital cinematic legacy, ultimately placing the man known as ""Duke"" among a select and brilliant pantheon of ""actor auteurs"" - artists whose consistency of style in their work reflects their personal creative vision.""
