Louis B. Mayer said that John Wayne had an endless face and he can go on forever. Appearing in more films than any major star, the legacy of John Wayne continues with the popularity of DVD. This filmography chronicles his amazing career, a catalog of theatrically released feature films and serials available on DVD, HD DVD, Blu-ray and LaserDisc, including in some cases VHS.

Each film is linked via a new window to the Internet Movie Database which along with the American Film Institute Catalog of Feature Films, Fred Landesman's book The John Wayne Filmography, Allen Eyles' book John Wayne and the Movies, and my ever-growing collection of films, formed the basis for this filmography.

Titles are spelled as they appear on the print and listed in order of release, with a note if the production sequence varies (e.g. Filmed before Dakota). Because some pre-1934 titles have ambiguous or no production dates available, the copyright registration date is used instead of the release date if the former was earlier. This dating method provides a more accurate chronology of production since some films, completed and ready for release, were held back a few months before hitting the exchanges. Even with this method, however, there is no consistent accuracy with the production sequence before 1934.

 

 

Following the American theatrical distributor is the year of general release or premiere. The DVD's distributor and its catalog number appear next, both pertaining to the cover shown. In the case of most public domain titles, posters or other movie advertising are used instead. The DVD release date (month-day-year) is for the title itself and not always the cover shown. The few titles not available on Region 1 have additional information about their home video releases in North America (VHS and, if applicable, LaserDisc).

Region 1 DVDs that have other regions encoded on the disc follow the case type. These multi-zone DVDs, all but three from Warner Bros., make no mention of other regions on the packaging or discs. Also included at times is the mastering date of the DVD, noted as 'imprint'. Every disc has an internal date when it was created before being manufactured, almost always preceding its release by a few months. Where the two dates vary greatly, an imprint note is included. DVDs are often reissued with new packaging but the imprint dates remain the same, reflecting use of the original DVD masters; some release dates are ambiguous or delayed so the imprint dates are included in such cases.

Cast lists are generally based on the order and spelling as they appear five deep in the opening credits. If John Wayne's name does not appear within that criteria a note follows with billing information (e.g. '8th-billed', 'uncredited'). Films where he was uncredited are denoted in blue text with notes at the bottom of the filmography outlining his involvement—not always as an actor. Also included are his character names excluding in most cases aliases.

The principal cast is followed by the director, color process and if applicable the widescreen process. Unless noted all films were photographed full-frame and use standard 35mm film with four perforations running vertically at 24fps. Following the process is the aspect ratio used for the general release print, not necessarily the negative or DVD ratio. The latter is listed with the release date, including whether it is an anamorphic or non-anamorphic print. Some ratios with the same number vary slightly in size so rounding has been used.

If a cover and catalog number are shown for a DVD the running time listed is that of the disc itself, which is generally the film's original length. At times this is a source of conflict, especially with the many titles reissued after John Wayne became a major star, sometimes with added scenes that padded out the length (or vice versa). Many of his pre-1940 films on DVD are based on reissue prints—providing a newer, better source—and may not represent the original running times. DVD running times, including some for VHS, are based on the exclusion of extraneous—usually modern-day—elements added before or after the films. Footage totals are calculated at 24fps using the Kodak Film Calculator.

Although few are listed, running times for DVDs in PAL format are based on the true length of the film, with consideration given to the fact that not all PAL video plays 4% faster. Some DVDs (and other video) are encoded in such a way that PAL speed-up is not present so the time does not have to be compensated by a factor of 1.04 to match NTSC, which is the same as film time. So care has been taken to check for PAL speed-up, and where present the times have been converted to NTSC using the WFT Timecode Calculator. (PAL video that does not play 4% faster is because the film was mastered from an NTSC source. A few Republic titles in the UK from Universal, who have distribution rights to the Republic library, are mastered from NTSC sources.)

Prefacing the running time is the DVD's English-only Dolby audio track or tracks—those of other languages are not included. A few titles are listed as Surround but are simply remixed mono, in which case a note follows.

Copyright information is based on the print itself and for the many not viewed, especially Wayne's pre-Monogram days, I have used the Catalog of Copyright Entries, Motion Pictures, published by the Library of Congress. If a production company is involved other than the copyright claimant, that name follows but for independent productions excludes the co-operation of a studio (e.g. Without Reservations was co-produced with RKO and Big Jim McLain was co-produced with Warner Bros.).

Some early films have incomplete onscreen copyright statements, omitting the claimant and sometimes the year but full information was registered with the Copyright Office, and it is this information which is used. (Only four of John Wayne's sound features, all from Monogram, were never registered with the Copyright Office.) Onscreen dates are not always accurate: The Night Riders has 1938 even though it was filmed in February 1939; Hondo has 1952 even though production began in mid-1953 and The Greatest Story Ever Told has 1165. (The Catalog of Copyright Entries is more accurate than the copyright information in the AFI catalog because the former includes, although not consistently, 'in notice' dates.)

Included in the filmography are the certificate numbers from the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA), renamed the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) in 1946. These numbers, from the Production Code Administration Office, first appeared in mid-1934. Initially Monogram and Republic were not signatories of the MPPDA so their early films did not have certificates. Some pre-1934 films were given certificates upon reissue, which may not be included in the filmography (such numbers are followed by an 'R'). Most of the certificate numbers were culled from the online AFI catalog, an ongoing endeavor whose detail does not currently cover post-1960 titles. For those I have taken the numbers from the prints themselves and from a collective list maintained at members.chello.nl/~a.degreef/.

 

 

 

In 1935 Monogram was taken over to form part of Republic, with Monogram resurrected as a separate company, late in 1936, that eventually became Allied Artists and whose film library took a fragmented path. In the early 1960's the Republic library, which included pre-1936 Monogram titles, was sold to National Telefilm Associates (NTA) who changed their name to Republic Pictures in December 1984 after acquiring rights to the Republic name and logo. The library was initially licensed to The Nostalgia Merchant and Video Communications, then in 1984 released under the NTA Home Entertainment banner.

Before the rebirth of Republic Pictures: a VHS cover from NTA Home Entertainment whose vast library of films, licensed to various home video distributors, was brought under the umbrella of one company—soon to be called Republic Pictures Home Video.

In 1994 Republic was acquired by Spelling Entertainment which became part of Paramount in 1999. Two years earlier Republic Pictures Home Video wound down operations and the library was eventually licensed to Artisan Entertainment and its successor, Lions Gate, whose rights were initially to expire in 2006. Paramount has over 1,000 features and serials produced by the former studio and can now distribute what it has owned since 1999 (in the UK the library is licensed to Universal).

Paramount had announced a number of Wayne's Republic productions on DVD in 2006 (covers shown below), although all are long-delayed and in limbo with the recent news that Lions Gate (now called Lionsgate) will continue to distribute portions of the Republic library including the Wayne titles.

The Republic library has 3,000 titles, including television episodes, a far cry from the 6,000 that National Telefilm Associates owned at its peak in the 1970's. In 1989 Republic had 1,117 films, not all produced by the studio since NTA had purchased, among others, many titles from Allied Artists and Regal Films.

References are given to official home video releases even though Wayne's Monogram westerns were available long before the Republic Pictures Home Video versions shown above, all released in the 1990's. Entrenched in the public domain for decades now, in 1985 Wayne's Monogram films were officially available for sale on 16mm from Republic Pictures and New York-based Classics Associates, with Video Communications handling home video rights including 16mm and Super 8. Appearing to be a splinter company created when National Telefilm Associates became Republic Pictures, Classics Associates handled mostly PRC and Eagle-Lion titles from the original NTA library.

The only major studio to distribute Wayne's Monogram westerns on DVD is Columbia (Sony), who released five titles in 2002. The Columbia releases, initially shown on television, had new music added in 1985 that allowed the films to be re-copyrighted—a joint venture between Fox/Lorber Associates and Classics Associates. Fifteen films from the joint venture were released on DVD in the UK by Second Sight Films, touted as “The original black and white versions with fully restored picture and soundtrack.” (Region 0 PAL, covers shown below.) Four films were also available on LaserDisc, the only John Wayne Monogram titles ever in that format.

Only one Monogram western, Rainbow Valley, was not available from Classics Associates or Republic Pictures Home Video, nor available in a Fox/Lorber version; also the only one never colorized. Sadly, the best prints of Wayne's Monogram era have been bastardized with obtrusive synthesized music, editing and later, in 1990, colorization by Color Systems Technology (CST). These color versions, released full-length on VHS, have made their way onto DVD in thirteen 20-minute re-titled featurettes marketed by CST Featurizations under The Young Duke banner: Fugitive (Sagebrush Trail), Claim Jumpers and Cowboy G-man (both from The Lucky Texan), Next of Kin (West of the Divide), Bandits of the Badlands (Blue Steel), Rodeo Racketeers (The Man from Utah), The Drifter (Randy Rides Alone), The Shadow Gang (The Star Packer), Klondike Gold (The Trail Beyond), Vengeance is Mine (The Lawless Frontier), On the Run (The Desert Trail), Avenging Angel (The Dawn Rider) and The Stagecoach Race (Winds of the Wasteland, from Republic).

In 2008 Legend Films released six all-new full-length color versions on DVD, including one from Republic: An Innocent Man (Sagebrush Trail), Cold Vengeance (The Dawn Rider), Gold Strike River (The Lucky Texan), Guns Along the Trail (Paradise Canyon), Stagecoach Run (Winds of the Wasteland) and Stolen Goods (Blue Steel). Also included are the black and white versions which share the same obtrusive changes.

Although initially Republic had Wayne's Monogram titles in its library, only one of the Republic Pictures Home Video releases from the 1990's has a Republic catalog number. The bulk of them have Columbia and UTE designations, the latter most likely Unity Television (a distributor formed in the 1950's) which was absorbed into Screen Gems and now part of Columbia. Unity used to distribute the Mascot serials to television and today Columbia claims ownership of that library. Republic absorbed Mascot in 1935 so their library would have initially been owned by Republic, too. Wayne made three serials for Mascot and all were released by Republic Pictures Home Video: two with Unity catalog numbers and one from Koch Entertainment.

Major public domain labels have stayed away from Wayne's pre-1940 Republic productions, with only Lawless Range, Winds of the Wasteland and Frontier Horizon showing up in proliferation. All the films were officially released on home video by Republic except The Oregon Trail which is a lost film. Mail-order dealers, however, have sold them for many years with impunity. Because the major players have stayed away from most of the films, it is assumed they are not in the public domain.

The major PD distributors have also stayed away from Wayne's early output from Universal, Warner Bros., Columbia and Fox. Many of the titles are available from mail-order dealers or on eBay, some under the guise of an ex-VHS rental although never actually released on home video; others are simply dupes of licensed videos. Only Universal has not officially released any of its early Wayne titles on home video, including the Paramount-produced Born to the West and Lady and Gent which the studio now own.

Some mail-order dealers are now using DVD±R with the prints generally derived from consumer videotape, not original 16mm or 35mm elements. They are not official studio releases so the quality will never be the same. Madden's Video Collectors Classic Western Movies, for instance, sells Wayne's early Republic westerns. Another such dealer is Bygone Video who like Madden use a web-based storefront and offer titles not officially released on DVD. Many of Wayne's early films from Universal, Warner Bros., Columbia and Fox are also available on VHS from Roberts Hard to Find Videos. Such dealers, though, are not referenced in the filmography since the films are not official studio releases. So for a film listed as Not available on DVD, some dealer out there has it on DVD±R or VHS. A film listed as Not available denotes it is not in circulation even in collector's circles but a print still exists.

Starting from Allegheny Uprising (1939), Wayne's first film after leaving second-features forever, only I Married a Woman (1956) and Cancel My Reservation (1972), both with Wayne appearing in uncredited cameos, have never been officially released on DVD anywhere (NTSC or PAL). From the same time frame (excluding the two aforementioned titles), only A Man Betrayed (1941, aka Wheel of Fortune), Lady from Louisiana (1941), Lady for a Night (1942), and In Old Oklahoma (1943, aka War of the Wildcats) have never been officially released in NTSC. (The official PAL DVDs of Wheel of Fortune and Lady for a Night, from Sogemedia who have Spanish rights to the Republic library, are VHS-culled abominations.) Although available on many public domain labels, Angel and the Badman (1946) has never been officially released on Region 1, and it is unknown to me if there is an official NTSC release in Japan. Again from the same time frame, excluding the two titles not released anywhere, only The Wings of Eagles (1956) has never been officially released in PAL (the US DVD, however, is also coded Region 2, 3 and 4).

John Wayne has been billed the conventional way as producer for only one film, The Alamo (1960). His first three productions, for Republic Pictures (Angel and the Badman, The Fighting Kentuckian and Bullfighter and the Lady), were all billed as “A John Wayne Production”. With the formation of Wayne-Fellows Productions (later called Batjac Productions and briefly Batjac Enterprises), some films were credited as being produced by Robert Fellows while others were billed only under the company name. Island in the Sky (1953), The High and the Mighty (1954) and Blood Alley (1955), films in which John Wayne starred, have no producer credited, nor do Track of the Cat (1954) and Good-bye, My Lady (1956) which appear below, a list of films produced by Wayne's production company where he did not appear onscreen. All the DVDs are also available in PAL except Hondo and the Apaches, Escort West, China Doll and Gun the Man Down.

Notes

 

Big Jake. Cinema Center Films was the theatrical production arm of CBS Television, who distributed their films in the US under the National General Pictures banner. Rio Lobo and Big Jake are distributed on DVD by Paramount but under the CBS DVD name.

The Big Trail. In his list of corrections and addenda to the book Wide Screen Movies by Robert E. Carr and R.M. Hayes, Daniel J. Sherlock states: “It is clear from the recently restored Grandeur version of The Big Trail that 24 frames per second was used for that film.” Fox produced four foreign-language versions of The Big Trail, filmed simultaneously with different cast members. Spanish: La gran jornada (directed by David Howard and released in Spain as Horizontes nuevos); German: Die grosse Fährte (directed by Lewis Seiler); Italian: Il grande sentiero (directed by Louis Loeffler); French: La piste des géants (directed by Pierre Couderc). The full-frame version with John Wayne was filmed separately from the Grandeur version.

Brannigan is presented by Michael Wayne (executive producer), Jules Levy and Arthur Gardner (producers), the same team that made McQ under the Batjac/Levy-Gardner banner. Filmed in England by Wellborn Ltd.

Circus World was announced for release on Region 1 by Disney but never materialized. The Japanese release by Tohokushinsha, although Region 2, provides the best available NTSC source for this title. It is more readily available in NTSC on a Hong Kong Region 0 release by Garry's Trading Co. (1.70:1 non-anamorphic; 131m:59s). The Universal UK Region 2/4 PAL DVD, as The Magnificent Showman, is full-frame and runs 131m:59s with a mono soundtrack.

The Greatest Story Ever Told. (1) Halliwell's Film Guide: 225 mins. “The film was originally released at 4 hours 20 minutes [260 mins.]. Subsequent versions were at 3 hours 58 minutes [238 mins.], 3 hours 17 minutes [197 mins.], 2 hours 27 minutes [147 mins.] and 2 hours 7 minutes [127 mins.].” (2) The John Wayne Filmography: “The initial version was 250 minutes in length. It was then cut to 222 minutes, then 190 minutes and finally 147.” (3) John Wayne and the Movies: “260 minutes, subsequently cut to 238, then 190, then 147 (G.B.: 197)”. (4) Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide: 193 mins. “Originally shown at 225m., then cut to 141m.” (5) The Motion Picture Almanac: 195 mins.

Hellfighters. The initial DVD's aspect ratio is 2.50:1 which is from the additional cropping of 2.35:1.

His Private Secretary. The top of the title card says “Colam Pictures Co. presents”, with “A Screencraft Production” at the bottom. At the end of the film, “Showmens Pictures, Inc.” is displayed (no apostrophe). The print viewed by the AFI makes no mention of Colam Pictures Co., which may have been inserted on specific distribution prints.

Hondo and the Apaches. The DVD—which also includes an unrelated film called The Man Called Noon—is from the initial Front Row Entertainment VHS release which, based on the running time, is probably a television print. The AFI states the film was based on the series pilot which never aired on American television. Although on a public domain label (Vintage Home Entertainment), the film is still under copyright by MGM (Turner).

The Horse Soldiers. A “Mahin-Rackin Production”, after the film's producers John Lee Mahin and Martin Rackin. Presented and copyrighted by The Mirisch Company, Inc., the AFI catalog lists Batjac Productions, Inc. as co-producing with Mirisch. The book John Wayne: American, illustrating the complexities of film production, says the film was a co-production between United Artists, Mahin-Rackin, the Mirisch Company, Batjac, John Ford Productions, and William Holden Productions.

How the West Was Won premiered in England on November 1, 1962, and was released in other parts of the world that year before its American premiere on February 20, 1963. The non-roadshow (general release) version was distributed by MGM.

The Hurricane Express. TJWF: “In the late 1940s an edited 80-minute feature version was released.” The feature version, released directly to television and available on various public domain labels, runs 78m:30s and has the same credits as the serial.

I Married a Woman. Universal-International handled US distribution after the demise of RKO who co-produced the film with Gomalco Productions. RKO-Scope (in this case) is Superscope 235, a non-anamorphic filming process by which anamorphic release prints are made.

Jet Pilot. Universal-International handled US distribution after the demise of RKO. Released under the RKO-Scope banner although filmed before the advent of widescreen. The AFI catalog lists the theatrical aspect ratio as 1.60:1; a review in the September 28, 1957 issue of Boxoffice lists the same ratio.

Legend of the Lost has the MPAA seal on the print but with no certificate number.

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Often cited as having an original aspect ratio of 1.66:1, a review in the April 16, 1962 issue of Boxoffice lists the ratio as 1.85:1.

Pittsburgh is listed in The John Wayne Filmography as being first shown on November 20, 1942, predating that of Reunion in France (or Reunion as it was initially called). In any case, the chronological order of production and general release has been adhered.

The Range Feud. Like the other two early Columbia westerns available on DVD, Texas Cyclone and Two Fisted Law, the VHS release of Range Feud is derived from a television print issued by Gail Pictures in the early 1950's, with a 1931 copyright statement by Gail Pictures International Corp. Typical of their reissues, the credits are bastardized and in this case the title appears as Range Fued. The Disc Plaza Entertainment and Cascadia Entertainment DVDs are derived from the same Gail reissue. The film was copyrighted and initially advertised as The Range Feud.

Rio Lobo. Cinema Center Films was the theatrical production arm of CBS Television, who distributed their films in the US under the National General Pictures banner. Rio Lobo and Big Jake are distributed on DVD by Paramount but under the CBS DVD name.

Texas Cyclone. A television print, the title card says “Gail Pictures presents” with a 1932 copyright statement by Gail Pictures International Corp. The complete cast is listed as Tim McCoy, Shirley Grey, John Wayne, Wheeler MacDonald [sic], Vernon Dent, Mary Gordon and Walter Brenan [sic].

Two Fisted Law is listed in the AFI catalog as being filmed April 6–April 11, 1932. The John Wayne Filmography says it was filmed in one week in the late summer of 1931. A television print, the title card says “Gail Pictures presents” with a 1932 copyright statement by Gail Pictures International Corp. The complete cast is listed as Tim McCoy, John Wayne, Walter Brennan, Tully Marshall, Alice Day, Wheeler Oakman, Wallace McDonald [sic] and Richard Alexander.

Westward Ho. Filmed simultaneously with Lawless Range but released first, this was Wayne's first film produced under the Republic banner after Monogram was taken over by Republic. The three previous films from Monogram (Paradise Canyon, The Dawn Rider and The Desert Trail) are invariably listed as being distributed by Republic during the corporate transition.

The Great K & A Train Robbery: “A young Wayne and several other USC teammates were hired to exercise with [Tom] Mix, keeping the star in shape, while the actor filmed on location.

Hangman's House: “Wayne appeared in two sequences, of which only one survived the editing process.” (TJWF). “. . . Wayne is clearly visible in four shots, two of them centered on him.” (JWATM). I Married a Woman: Wayne appears twice, notably where George Gobel and Diana Dors go to a theater and watch Wayne and Angie Dickinson in an imaginary film called Forever and Forever and Forever (with a tongue-in-cheek aspect ratio of 3.50:1), a film-within-a-film gag. The Lone Star Ranger: As a wrangler, stunt double and bit player (TJWF).

Wayne was assigned to this film as a third or fourth assistant property man.” (TJWF). Strong Boy: “Wayne was an extra and worked as a prop man.” (TJWF). Sweetheart of Sigma Chi: “Wayne's one scene in the film (with a mustache) was edited out of the final print.” (TJWF).

Wayne is Taylor, the star player of the Harvard team, who is shown carrying and kicking the ball.” (TJWF). Women of All Nations: “The rare Fox production was originally 95 mins. but was cut to 72 mins. before release, eliminating small roles by both Humphrey Bogart and John Wayne (still visible in the background)! It was recently restored (still at 72 mins) by UCLA.” (Michael J. Weldon).
