About this Item

Published in 1972 by The Citadel Press, The Films of John Wayne is a comprehensive, film-by-film survey of the career of one of Hollywood's most enduring screen icons. Compiled by Mark Ricci, Boris Zmijewsky, and Steve Zmijewsky, the volume documents Wayne's work from his early silent appearances through his mature, defining roles, with individual entries detailing cast, credits, production background, release dates, and concise plot synopses.

The book is richly illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographic stills drawn from major studios including Republic, Warner Bros., RKO, and Paramount, making it both a reference work and a visual archive of Wayne's screen persona across genres - Westerns, war films, adventure pictures, and dramas. Issued here as the first paperbound printing, this copy remains in Near Fine condition, with a clean, bright interior and a firm, tight binding.

A solid reference for film historians and an appealing collectible for John Wayne enthusiasts, particularly in this well-preserved early paperback issue.

Mark Ricci and collaborators Boris and Steve Zmijewsky were active mid-20th-century film writers and researchers whose work focused on documenting classic Hollywood careers. Their publications are valued for systematic filmographies, reliable production data, and accessible presentation for both scholars and collectors.
