With a legacy of leading roles in more than 100 movies along with appearances in countless other works John Wayne would have been 101 years old this year (2008). Wayne's career spanned a 50-year period from the pre-Depression '20s to the politically turbulent '70s but the nature of his films has remained relatively constant. As Wayne himself is said to have quipped I play John Wayne in pretty much every film I do and I've done pretty well so far havn't I? This persona served him well through an early career of serials and B-westerns to higher profile roles including more westerns and war films culminating with his Oscar win for best actor in True Grit. Though Wayne a.k.a. the Duke is respectfully remembered by people with different political philosophies the actor was known in his day as a staunch Republican. The actor lost his battle with cancer in 1979 but his large body of work lives on as a testament to this legendary figure. The Hurricane Express: Being one of Wayne's earliest films The Hurricane Express was actually a serial in 12 parts released in 1932. There aren't any cowboys or horses around for this adventure but there's plenty of action! Baby-faced John Wayne plays an airplane pilot whose father a train engineer is killed when some fiend who calls himself The Wrecker causes the Hurricane Express to crash. Baker (Wayne) swears he will catch the man who killed his father however in true western style the villain always has a way of escaping time and time again (largely due to having a number of life-like masks). The good guys and the bad guys are constantly hopping from trains to cars to airplanes and back again but John Wayne never gives up! The Three Musketeers: All for one and one for all in this action-packed 12 part serial adaptation of Alexander Dumas's 'The Three Musketeers'. Tom Wayne (John Wayne) is a fugitive from justice framed for a murder he did not commit. El Shaitan the mysterious and diabolical leader of the Devil's Circle a group who are plotting an Arab rebellion against the Foreign Legion is to blame. It's up to Tom's sweetheart Elaine (Ruth Hall) and the trustworthy Three Musketeers - Clancy (Jack Mulhall) Renard (Raymond Hatton) and Schmidt (Ralph Bushman) - to put an end to his reign of terror and clear Tom's name. Tom and The Three Musketeers narrowly escape death in episode after episode as they saddle up for a Sahara thrill ride in the name of truth justice and brotherhood! Shadow Of The Eagle: A real treat for John Wayne fans. The action and adventure the mystery and suspense is non stop in this original 12 part serial. Wayne plays Craig McCoy a stunt pilot who's part of a traveling fair. When a mysterious pilot known as The Eagle starts making murderous threats with sky-writing our guy jumps into action to try and find this villain. All the performers of the travelling fair get involved in one way or another. Some are prime suspects (for a while) others like the strong man and the ventriloquist use their talents to help catch the criminal. Suspect everyone suspect no one. The upper hand and evidence jumps back and forth between the bad guys and the good guys.

Amos Polk the drunken judge along with the trigger-happy Sheriff Clyde Barnes and his corrupt deputies.

Stan and Ollie are in the building trade for 'The Finishing Touch' while in 'The Music Box' - perhaps their most famous film - they have to deliver a piano up a huge flight of steps. 'The Music Box' was inspired by one of their earliest comedies as a team 'Hats Off'.

History and Hollywood have always made strange bedfellows. And there's no better example of that than Santa Fe Trail (1940) from director Michael Curtiz. Historical accuracy is never allowed to interfere with setting up a great action sequence. Errol Flynn is Jeb Stuart. Ronald Reagan is George Armstrong Custer (a part Flynn would play in 'They Died With Their Boots On'). Raymond Massey makes a flamboyant John Brown. And rounding out the cast are Oliveia de Haviland Alan Hale Van
Hollywood legend Gregory Peck (The Guns Of Navarone) stars with Desi Arnaz Jr. (Automan) and Jack Warden (Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead) in this fast paced energetic and provocative 1970's western.

One of the gang is shot dead and the other is captured destined for the noose. His name is Billy Two Hats and it looks like his days of running wild are over.

JOHN WAYNE - IN THE MOVIES DVD: John Wayne - In The Movies pays tribute to the screen icon who came to personify everything a man should be: tough, loyal, sensitive, and a straight shooter. On this one-of-a-kind retrospective DVD you ll see some of the best moments from his extraordinary career. This DVD documentary by film-maker Timothy Knight contains more than 50 of the Duke s most entertaining scenes from his best movies. The clips on the DVD documentary are scenes from the following movies: The Alamo, The Quiet Man, The Searchers, Fort Apache, Red River, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, The Green Berets, Rio Bravo, The Shootist, The Horse Soldiers, Rio Grande, Stagecoach, Sands of Iwo Jima, True Grit, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. (50 MINS) LITTLE BOOK OF JOHN WAYNE - IN THE MOVIES: John Wayne reportedly loathed horses. Nor did he ever serve one day in the army. Yet the Iowa pharmacist s son born Marion Michael Morrison came to embody two of the most enduring archetypes in American popular culture: the cowboy and the gung-ho war hero. Even today, more than 30 years after his death from cancer, Wayne still casts a towering shadow, not just in film, but in American life and politics. He is often invoked as a symbol of patriotic might and conservative values - a powerful reminder of an earlier, supposedly better time in American history, whe dedication to God and country prevailed. John Wayne - In The Movies examines Wayne s career from Stagecoach to his last film, The Shootist (1976). Encompassing 50 films from this 37-year period, it highlights the Duke s most revered films, from his Cavalry Trilogy with Ford to his classic collaborations with Howard Hawks and Henry Hathaway. Admittedly, some of the films are dated, racist, jingoistic and chauvinistic by contemporary standards. And a few would be downright forgettable - if not for the presence of Wayne, an American icon whose larger-than-life image is burned permanently into memory.
