Big John, Big Legend, October 10, 2010
This review is from: JOHN WAYNE - AMERICAN LEGEND (DVD)
John Wayne-American Legend, is an excellent bio of the great man, encapsulating the life, and essence of the man, starred in a big picture in 1930, was then relegated to cheap 'Saturday Matinee' westerns for several years, before getting another crack at a 'big' picture in 'Stagecoach', this time he clicked, and never looked back, a fascinating road to stardom in itself, but of course, this is also about the man, the image he created, and finally, becoming that image, and of the courage shown when faced with terminal illness toward the end! You get the feeling there was little difference in the man we saw on that big screen, and the real thing!
Many have re-evaluated his talents in recent years, and realised he was indeed a good actor, and much more than just a 'cowboy star',this is a great DVD for anyone who is interested in one of the true greats of the movies! Get it pilgrim!

John Wayne - American Legend, April 5, 2009
This is a very enjoyable and moving presentation which stirs the patriotic soul in appreciation of the blessings and wonders of the USA! If you ever had any doubt that this is the greatest country in the world - shame on you! I challenge you to have a listen to this album. These presentations by John Wayne reflect what he truly knew and lived. He was a firm believer in the term, "America... Love it or Leave it!"
