John Wayne and his Films

on BBC One London

In a rare television appearance John Wayne, on location in Durango, Mexico, talks to Iain Johnstone about his life, his work and his views.

'I was Singing Sandy, the first singing cowboy.'
'I think I've established a character on the screen that may be rough, may be cruel, may have a different code from the average person, but has never been mean or petty or small.'
Film extracts include scenes from: "Stagecoach", "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", "The Green Berets" and "True Grit" - for which Wayne won the 1970 Oscar.
