Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Updated Edition is Significantly Different
Review: This book has been in print consistently since the 1980's and has been a treasure-trove of information about the Duke and his films. It not only tells the behind the scenes stories of Wayne's best films, but doesn't avoid a fun-filled look at his "turkeys" as well, even if you don't agree with the author on every title. (I can't help liking "Hellfighters" no matter what the author says!) Each film is broken down in it's own separate section and there are hundreds of rare photos. The recently released edition finally updates a lot of outdated information. For example, there is a very in-depth look at the making of Wayne's "The Alamo"... this section brings up to date the fact that much of the missing footage has been found and restored. Best of all, the new edition has tons of glossy color photos featuring dozens of rare Wayne international movie posters from over the decades. There are also sections relating to Wayne collectibles, record albums and a funny section that shows "bloopers" in Wayne movie posters and ads. (To promote the movie "Cahill: U.S Marshall", Warner Brothers used a well-known photo from "Chisum" in their ads). All in all, even you have the previous version, this one is worth picking up for all the new material.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding!
Review: This book was just outstanding. I think any John Wayne fan who likes to read or learn anything, about The Duke will enjoy and value this book.
