Film clips, trailers and rare photos combine to tell the story of John Wayne's evolution from mild-mannered USC student Marion Morrison to the ultimate Western hero of the silver screen. Highlights include clips from his silent-movie debut, his first leading role, and his bizarre failed attempt to become a singing cowboy. Other excerpts include scenes from Flying Tigers, The Quiet Man and his breakthrough, Stagecoach.
