"When the legend becomes fact, print the legend" is the famous quote from what is considered to be one of John Ford's finest westerns, and it pretty much sums up the film. Greenhorn lawyer Ransom Stoddard sets up in a frontier town where everyone, bar the tough-but-decent Tom Doniphon, fears the brutal bully Liberty Valance. As Stoddard's influence grows and Valance's wanes, a confrontation between the two seems inevitable. And duly it comes, with a result that shocks the town.

Starring as "Tom Doniphon"

John Wayne and Rock Hudson star in Andrew V McLaglen's western as Union Colonel John Thomas and Confederate Colonel James Langdon, who clash in the dog days of the Civil War and, after the truce is agreed, take different paths. Langdon leads his men south to Mexico, where they'll join Maximillian's army, while Thomas and his men decide to trap and train wild horses. Inevitably, their paths cross again and, somewhat reluctantly, they join forces to stop Maximillian's plans for conquest. The film suffered from being released in the same year as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Wild Bunch and Wayne in Oscar-winning form in True Grit, but it stands alongside them, with a panoramic sweep of a story and two leads who successfully spark off each other.

Starring as "Col. John Henry Thomas"

John Ford directs John Wayne in this romantic comedy; their last film together. Wayne plays Michael Donovan who, with his ex-Navy pals Thomas Gilhooley and William Dedham, has ended up on a South Pacific island after the war. Donovan runs the bar, Gilhooley hangs out there and Dedham is the island doctor, married to one of the locals. But trouble threatens their paradise when Dedham's estranged daughter Amelia arrives with news that he's heir to the family's shipping company: but he could lose the inheritance to her if he's seen to be living in an "immoral" way. As Dedham is away on an emergency, Donovan convinces her that he's responsible for Dedham's children and, while he maintains the subterfuge, the beauty of the island and its way of life get under Amelia's skin, as do Donovan's romantic overtures.

Starring as "Michael Patrick 'Guns' Donovan"

Historical actioner about legendary Mongol chieftain Genghis Khan. The story on-screen is good, but the off-screen stuff is incredible: it was the final film of producer Howard Hughes, who bought up all the prints and screened it privately night after night. Filmed close to the atomic bomb testing sites in Utah, nearly half of the crew later contracted cancer.
