And then theres Xmas TV!!!;

Rob
Yes i agree Louis,i'm only kidding really.I do think he could act i just don't think he was up with the best.He was very good indeed in True grit and i did love some of his westerns.Trouble is Louis when i was growing up the main man in westerns was Clint,and then his Dirty Harry films were good too.I meant no insult to the Duke,he couldn't get to his legendary status without acting.

Rob, while (like Jack Nicholson) John Wayne often played himself, his performance in the Quiet Man (one of my favorite movies of all time, despite the fact that I don't have a drop of Irish Blood) convinced me that he can act. Watch that movie (if for nothing else, because Maureen O'Hara is very easy on the eyes) and then maybe just maybe you might give him a little credit as an actor. I also love Victor MacLaughlen as Red Will Danahee, and the little Irish character actor who played McAleen Flynn.
Hee hee!.My only defence m'lud is that in all the films M'learned Harry doth list,John Wayne played one single role...that of John Wayne.An actor by definition must take on many roles and play many different parts.I humbly submit that the Duke was as good at acting as i am at one legged wing walking.For an example of ruining a scene with heroic over acting i petition thee to study yee olde film 'The Longest day'.Some truly awful acting from Mr Wayne.The scene on the makeshift stretcher is truly laughable,you could tell he was dying to wave his men forward with the words 'Wagons Roooooooolllllll'.I am sorry m'lud but Jennifer Anniston armed with a bottle of Whisky and ten grand of K&C UK vouchers could not convince me John Wayne was a good actor.A Star and a Legend yes,a good actor Nooooooooo!
I rest me case me Lud!
