John Wayne was a criminally underrated film actor, you never caught him "acting" or saying lines, just the perfect film actor (plus a bucketload of star charisma) . Even though She Wore A Yellow Ribbon is a western, Wayne may have been out of his comfort zone playing someone 25-30 years older...
Ha, just arrived in Blighty. This could be my release of the year, it's been on every general Blu-ray wants list of mine for the last five years...& They Were Expendable is on it's way.
