About This Item
South Brunswick & New York: A. S. Barnes and Co., [1976]., 1976. First edition. First edition. Quarto. Cloth, 320 pp., illustrated from numerous photographs, filmography, appendix, acknowledgements, index. All you'd want to know about "the Duke" or "Big John" with its wealth of pictures, facts, and comments. The author describes the evolution of Wayne's career from an extra in the silent period to star of the early sound Western, The Big Trail, through years of grinding out modest B Westerns to the enduring stardom that followed his portrayal of the Ringo Kid in Stagecoach. The development of Wayne's screen image is brilliantly followed and tribute is paid to the actor's very real acting accomplishments in such films as She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, Red River, The Quiet Man, and True Grit. Fine in lightly rubbed dust jacket with small tears to top and bottom edges of rear panel.
