John Wayne, America at All Costs

Archetype of a heroic cowboy or uncompromising macho: Wayne fascinates. The film reveals the man through his unexpected – but real - frailty, and portrays its hero at the twilight of his life. The aim of this film is to make a connexion between “the patriot artist” and the real man. The film will also tell 50 years of American history, from the ‘30s to the’ 80s, intermingle with 50 years of American cinema. Captivating. (Arte)
