John
Wayne: America at All Costs—great documentary—tells a
general overview of John Wayne’s life. While it may lack the depth that
audiences may desire to know about this beloved western/war actor, the
outstanding feature of the documentary is that it shows the humble beginnings
of this star as it details his early years as a person who set the scenes for
movies and his work as an ‘extra’ in silent films. The documentary also reveals
some poor health choices that may have led to his contraction of cancer and
early death. The film is put together well and follows a well-thought-out
presentation of facts that is easy to follow. Simple and completely
understandable, this documentary will not let down fans of the late Marion
Robert ‘Duke’ Morrison AKA John Wayne, actor.Film Poster Courtesy of Wikipedia
