That's Action!

on BBC One London

featuring
John Wayne , Victor McLaglen
Maureen O'Hara , Ernest Borgnine Joan Crawford
Douglas Fairbanks Jr
Cary Grant, Sterling Hayden
Rita Hayworth , Charles Laughton Barbara Stanwyck Marlene Dietrich and a cast of thousands!
In the golden days of Hollywood there was a special kind of hero, a man who was prepared to stand up and fight, to risk life and limb, for what he believed to be right - the type of hero personified by John ' Duke ' Wayne - who expressed themselves not through words, but in action.
That's Action! pays tribute to these tough guys (and the equally strong women who stood up to them) and rediscovers some of the finest moments of adventure and romance in such films as The Quiet Man, Gunga Din , Rio Grande, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Sands of Iwo Jima and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon.
