[QUOTE="Wolseley, post: 35070344, member: 632"] I like John Wayne's movies; my wife [i]loves[/i] them. (She has probably watched [i]Rio Lobo[/i] at least 25 times since we've been married.) I myself like [i]The Sands of Iwo Jima[/i]; you could put it into a set with [i]Battle Cry[/i] and have a good afternoon's entertainment. Not everybody agrees. I remember being at a family reunion some years ago when somebody said that John Wayne was "an American hero", and one of my cousins, a Vietnam vet who'd spent some nasty days and nights in the Iron Triangle, barked, "No, he was [i]not![/i] John Wayne was a movie actor who [i]portrayed[/i] American heroes!" Still, he didn't do bad for himself---he was, after all, a stage janitor named Marion, sweeping a floor when John Ford discovered him. [/QUOTE]
