John Wayne may have won an Oscar for his role in True Grit, however, the Academy should have taken it right back for his role as Genghis Khan, in ‘The Conqueror’ and just chalk up the act as bringing the universe back into balance.
John Wayne playing a WWI German ship’s captain in “The Sea Chase” (1955). While one of Hollywood’s truly greats, the Duke had a tin ear for accents and sounded just as believably German as he later sounded like a real Mongolian.
“Well, Auf, uh, wiedersehen, Fatherland. Don’t know when I’ll see ya again, pilgrim.”
I love the Duke but the movie where he plays a Fed in Hawaii looking for commies and Branagen were hard to watch. I never got to see GK but I hear is is legendary bad.
