“They Were Expendable” — John Ford, director.
(The pathos of the US flight from the Phillippines, based on a true story.)
Hitari, The Sons of Katy Elder, North to Alaska, Trainrobbers, The Quiet Man, Big Jake
These portray a light side of John Wayne in that they’re mostly dramas with lots of humor in them. They might like these if they like funny ones. Ok... Trainrobbers and Big Jake might not be that funny... but they’re two of my favorites.
Can’t think of the name but I love the one where he was a destroyer skipper
“They Were Expendable†— John Ford, director.
This movie should be seen in the original black and white. The colorized version has the officers and chief petty officers dressed in blue dungarees.
