This should have been called "American Heroe of the Movies". It contains many clips from John Wayne's movies, starting with the early days and ending with the "Shootest". With 50 years of making movies and cast in over 150 movies, John Wayne has to be the "American Hero of the Movies. His performance in "The Quiet Man" was a true work of art. John's acting was not limited to westerns. He also played a football coach, trying to raise a young daughter by himself. Ship captains such as "Blood Alley" and "The Sea Witch". War heroes, "The Fighting SeaBee's", "Sands Of Iowa Jima", as well as "Flying Tigers" and "Jet Pilot" also showed his versatility and skill as an actor. My all-time favorite was "In Harms Way" with John playing the part of an admiral. If you haven't seen "Wings Of Gold" you have missed one of the best movies ever made.
I really don't understand why people submit bad comments about movies. This movie, while not a true sequel of "A Man Called Horse", was an enjoyable movie in it's on right. Take it for what it is, a western and I think you will enjoy.
The few times that Richard Harris appeared in the movie, is a tribute to an aging star who wanted to finish the third, and last movie in "A Man Called Horse". While not able to be as much a part of the movie as he wanted to, he nevertheless was there.
I think that the movie should be judged on it's on merit rather than see it as a finish to a series. I enjoyed the movie and would like to see the whole series released on DVD.
