Description
This beautiful book is a celebration of John Wayne and the films he made.
Filled with illuminating insights and behind-the-scenes stories, DUKE: The Official John Wayne Movie Book details all 169 of Duke's movies, from long forgotten gems to Hollywood classics that made John Wayne into the world's biggest movie star. You'll also find hundreds of gorgeous full-colour and black-and-white photos from the set, along with movie posters, lobby cards, costumes, collectibles and more, including a number of full-spread photos that showcase Duke in all his wide-screen glory.
Ann-Margret, the legendary actress and Duke co-star, provides a foreword, while Leonard Maltin, one of the country's most respected, recognisable film critics, provides an afterword.
For general movie fans or die-hard Duke-lovers, this book is a fantastic showcase of a film legend and his work.
