Oh so long since I have been here, missing you all, still working on things to do with our nation and world in distress. But I came upon this movie with John Wayne from 1936, he was only 29 y/o!
Thought of Rooster of course, ended up watching the whole thing it was a rootin-tootin (i.e. a Western), quite good too!
Amazing.....I am sure I have seen some of his films but can’t recall one at the moment!
Oh SFA...yes, even in Wales I'm sure it must be important for your acculturation to know about John Wayne...my claim to fame is that when I lived in Iowa, I visited the town of Winterset, where he was born, and his family home is now preserved as a tourist attraction or something! And Winterset is still a rather small, rural town too, very pretty I liked it.
Always thought he was great in "Three Godfathers".
Oh Rooster this is a wonder and a delight -- directed by John Ford, all the way back in 1946, proudly in technicolor which must have been quite a new innovation then! And John Wayne playing a bad man, too...
I never saw that one!
Starts out that way but ends differently.
I've seen Stagecoach (1939).
He had a LOT of uncredited film roles in the 20s.

New information for me in both points, Tink!
-- I did not realize STAGECOACH was so early as 1939, nor that he was knocking around with bit parts uncredited in the '20's...
It was "Stagecoach" that made him a permanent movie star finally!
He was always ancient in any of the films I saw him in. In fact, I tried my darnest not to see his films.
Tsk, tsk, tsk...
