John
Wayne ... There Rode a Legend
No book
can hold a man's complete life between its covers, especially the legendary
life of movie icon John Wayne. But John Wayne...There Rode a Legend
comes pretty darn close. This panoramic book collects hundreds of images,
memorabilia, and behind-the-scenes stories to piece together a man as
large as the American West he so loved. Saddle up and follow him through
his Western career, from his early days as Singin' Sandy, film's first
singing cowboy, to his later achievements starring in the epic film
"The Alamo." You'll also learn about his contributions to the real West
at 26 Bar cattle ranch in Arizona. With over 400 colorful film posters
and photos, this book is the definitive Western tribute to America's
most-loved Hollywood cowboy, movie star, man, and myth. Limited

Stagecoach
(BFI Film Classics Book) More than fifty years after its first appearance, Stagecoach remains the most famous Western ever made. Resisting David O. Selznick's description of his project as "just another Western," director John Ford intended something special from the start: a film that would integrate all the traditions of the horse opera-chases, gunfights, spectacular scenery-with a tale of romance and intrigue. And as the Ringo Kid he chose an unknown who had spent the past ten years in B-Westerns. The part made John Wayne a star. Shedding new light on an old favorite, this book is an enjoyable account of how the film got made, combined with a careful scene-by-scene analysis, a wealth of illustrations, and the most complete credits yet assembled. |

Red
River (BFI Film Classics Book) Red River (1947) is one of Howard Hawks' near-perfect films. A sweeping, fast-moving Western, it's stunningly shot and stars John Wayne and Montgomery Clift in complex roles set off by fine acting. In this book, Suzanne Liandrat-Guigues explores the complex theme of Red River as well as its historical setting and place in film history. She focuses particular attention on the actors' contributions and on Red River's relationship to other Hawks classics. |
