For over 20 years, the name John Agar on a marquee meant action to
moviegoers - from World War II land, sea and air battles, to the
frontier west, to the new frontier of 1950s science fiction, where
he stood fast against some of the era's most memorable movie
monsters. Agar's rise to fame was meteoric: During World War II,
the $83-a-month buck sergeant met and later married "America's
Sweetheart" Shirley Temple, and was soon offered a screen test and
dramatic instruction by Hollywood mega-mogul David O. Selznick. He
co-starred in his very first film, director John Ford's magnificent
Fort Apache (1948), and parlayed that impressive debut role into a
two-decade string of heroic leads. Steady work was the important
thing to Agar, who easily alternated between A-pictures (Ford
classics, Sands of Iwo Jima, more), drive-in favorites (Revenge of
the Creature, Tarantula) and low-low-budget exploitation items. A
gracious, gentle man, Agar tells the bittersweet tale of his
journey through life in this tribute volume, which also includes
additional interview material and photos not only from his films
but also his private life.
