Doc Windshadow Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Howdy UB Yup, let's forget about Ghengis Kahn. Couldn't bring up the second one labeled 'this'. I expect it was Mc Q where he had a tiny snub nose .38 special in one shot that about vanished in his large hands... but Mc Q (it was the only film he made with John Sturges I think and is an OK film of its type I think)was not the mega stinker that "The Conqueror" was ... one of the worst big budget films of all time it has to be in the top 10 of that group. and of course many think that it played a part in the cancer that killed the Duke as it was shot in the mid 50s Near St Georges Utah which down wind of all the Atom bomb tests in Nevada http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049092/trivia John Wayne regretted playing Temujin in The Conqueror (1956) so much that he visibly shuddered whenever anyone mentioned the film's name. He once remarked that the moral of the film was "not to make an ass of yourself trying to play parts you're not suited for." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT. QUINCANNON, SASS #32999 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Every actor has some films or TV appearances he/she would like to forget. No offense or umbrage, UB. It's funny to watch icons in their early films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocWard Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 My hunch is that he and Ward Bond will be too busy with all the others to worry about UB. Sounds like John Wayne was man enough to admit a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
