About the Author:
Douglas Brode is a screenwriter, playwright, novelist, film historian, and multi-award winning journalist. He is the author of more than 30 books on film and the mass media.
Review:
The Alamo (1960) and The Green Berets (1968). It’s a readable, solid book based on library research. Screenwriter and playwright Brode’s book is a well-illustrated guide to the Duke’s films, describing each with a short life lesson (e.g., the lesson from 1968’s Hellfighters is 'A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do; his woman must either accept and live with that or cut and run.' VERDICT Eliot’s book is a great account of the star’s life more for film buffs in general than for fans of Wayne. Brode’s well-done work will make an excellent present for those who love Wayne’s films. (Library Journal)
