The the John Ford - John Wayne documentary on PBS, has been described in posts below. However, I have to add just one more review by Hal Boedoner of the Orlando Sentinel on the subject because I am so intrigued by the subjects.The review starts off as follow:" John Wayne's influence still pervades the culture. He and his most important director, John Ford, collaborated on movies that shaped America's view of itself. Their partnership was complex and filled with tensions, a fascinating documentary reveals.
PBS' American Masters on Wednesday salutes the two film giants with John Ford/John Wayne: The Filmmaker and the Legend. This 90-minute program concentrates on seven of the duo's 14 films: Stagecoach, They Were Expendable, Fort Apache, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, The Quiet Man, The Searchers and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
The documentary bolsters They Were Expendable, a tragic World War II film that failed at the box office in 1945, and cites The Searchers, a 1956 Western, as the pair's masterwork."
