John Wayne: The Life and Legend Scott Eyman Simon & Schuster, 2014 I've always admired John Wayne's performance in the corrupt cop crime flick McQ (1974). It's not even close to his best movie, Wayne admitted that himself, but it demonstrates beautifully what made him great. Here he is in poor read more
