After the death of Marion Morrison, known as John Wayne, in 1979,
President Jimmy Carter said that Wayne "was bigger than life. In an
age of few heroes, he was the genuine article. But he was more than
a hero; he was a symbol of many of the qualities that made America
great." The first section of this study concentrates on Waynes
style of work and sphere of action as an actor: The man who works
for a living and is concerned with his audience and the constraints
of his immediate environment. The second section examines the
artist: the man who lives in his art, who disappears into his
character as an archetype of human fears and desires. Analyses of
films that have made Wayne a hero are presented in the third
section. A comprehensive filmography and numerous photographs are
included.
