Nice Collection of Stories I purchased this as a gift for my husband, but he has remarked at what a good collection of stories have been put together about John Wayne. This is coming from someone who has a pretty substantial collection of his movies.
The Duke & Friends Almost like a brief history of the era and new insights into how those movies were made. Enjoyed the ancedotes of fellow artists.
