He sure knew how to make you want to run up that hill behind him.
I think one of my cousins got the Duke's autograph on his bib overalls during the shooting of the movie near Dubuque.
Of course it should have been ‘The Sands of Iwo Jima.’ I spell checked it and didn’t note the ‘correction’ was incorrect. Plus, that film isn’t a good example because it was made after WWII.
Maybe a better example would have been ‘Wake Island,’ released in 1942, showing the heroic deaths of the Marines defending Wake, though it didn’t star John Wayne.
You mean they actually shot part of that film near Dubuque? First time I ever heard of that. And it's "Sands of Iwo Jima" not Shores.
