Kirsten Heysen nominates her all time top five John Wayne outings. 1948 Wayne plays stubborn Tom Dunson, a 19th century cattle man, who drives his unruly men and livestock overland through harsh terrain to Texas. 1956 An old style western filmed on a grand scale, although its one-sided view of Indians hasn't dated well.
Wayne is a bitter, taciturn settler home to right some wrongs after fighting in the civil war. 1952 Stars Wayne and Maureen O' Hara in a tempestuous love story set in Ireland. Impressive chemistry between the two leads and a break-out film for Western director John Ford, a close friend of Wayne's.
