“The Conqueror” was notorious for the number of cast and crew who died later of cancer, or because of it: The Duke, Dick Powell [director], Susan Heyward [Bortei]. Agnes Moorehead [Houlon - Temujin’s mother], Pedro Armanderiz [Chamuga] who killed himself when diagnosed with cancer, and something like 30% total.

The movie exteriors were shot at [I believe] St. George, Utah, which was downrange from the nuclear test sites. They actually trucked sand from there to Hollywood when they did the sound stage work.

Although one of the Duke’s worst flicks [and one of the worst of all time], I must have seen that movie 15 times when I was a kid. John Wayne gave me an abiding interest in Mongol history, the Great Khans, and history in general.

Best Wayne Movies:

Overall: The Searchers, the Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, Fort Apache.

Best Fights: The Quiet Man, McLintock, Donovan’s Reef

Comedy: The Quiet Man, McLintock.
