4.0 out of 5 stars No depth, just a quick photographic scan of the career of John Wayne, April 27, 2008

This review is from: The Duke: A life in pictures (Paperback)

If you are a fan of John Wayne and his movies, then this book will interest you. However, if you are interested in some depth about his life, you will have to look elsewhere. There is little more than photos in this book, they are stills from movies, shots during production and a few feature him at award shows or in a casual scene.
All of the pictures capture Wayne's photogenic toughness, even a casual scene seems to exude the strong confidence that was a hallmark of Wayne in his movies.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too many inaccuracies, June 10, 2006

This review is from: The Duke: A Life in Pictures (Hardcover)

While containing many good pictures, the book misses some of the Dukes movies (like "The Cowboys") and contains several inaccuracies (such as trying to pass off the plot to "True Grit" as the plot to "Big Jake" and mislabeling "Rio Bravo" as "El Dorado").
