You have it directly from
the Editor himself...this is THE ONLY John Wayne filmography you'll ever
need. Boyd Magers of Western Clippings magazine adds, "Toss you other
Wayne filmographies out and make room for [Fred] Landesman's absolutely
thorough work..."
Suffice to say, you will discover in-depth descriptions of
both the well-known John Wayne films and little gems that you've never
heard of. In fact, the Duke probably forgot about a few of these. Who
knew that in 1928 he was a stunt swimmer for the wartime disaster film,
Noah's Ark?
The entries are in alphabetical order and very informational
with reviews from multiple sources, cast lists, in-depth synopses, and
much, much more.
If all that still don't fit you pistol, this beautiful
448-page hardbound book includes extensive appendices, an index, over
650 capsule biographies of the talent that shared the screen with the
Duke, and 120 rarely-seen photographs (including a movie still of Buster
Crabbe and a dashing 24-year old Wayne donning a moustache).
Unfortunately, Fred Landesman passed away shortly after this masterwork
was published. What a legacy he has left to John Wayne enthusiasts
everywhere. |
