"Decades after the death of John Wayne, polls show that he is still among America's top-ten movie stars. This comprehensive filmography covers his entire career - more than 170 films - from 1926 through 1976." "Each entry includes dates, running time, cast and crew credits, reviews, synopsis, and notes devoted to interesting details such as locations, budgets, costs, salaries, box-office performance, alternate casting, and what competition existed for the moviegoer. There are also more than 700 capsule biographies of fellow actors and production workers. There are quotations from 800 contemporary reviews in The New York Times, Hollywood Reporter, Life Magazine, and other periodicals." "Five appendices list films by release date, Wayne's colleagues and where their capsule biographies may be found, specific review information, the biggest box office films, and the films most popular on television."--BOOK JACKET.
