Publisher's Synopsis
With more than 1,100 impeccably sourced quotes from throughout John Wayne's 172-film career, this book provides what has often been missing from other Duke Wayne reference books: accuracy, context, and comprehensiveness. The quotations provide a deep dive into Wayne's films and acting persona-the iconic American man of action whose sense of values and decency are a veneer covering a boiling pot of determination, courage, outrage, and even violence. The quotes in 'John Wayne Speaks' are at once inspirational, humorous, touching, and revealing.
