The Great American Picture Star: John Wayne

on BBC One London

A Bicentennial portrait of the actor who, perhaps more than any other, represents the ideal American. Shot in the United States earlier this summer, the film takes a look at America's view of John Wayne and John Wayne's view of America. He talks about the modern film industry, politicians, women's liberation and civil rights. And for the first time he permits cameras aboard his converted minesweeper, The Wild Goose, for a sail along the coast of Mexico with his family.
