I liked John Wayne better in a group of B-Westerns he did for Republic Pictures in 1938 and 1939 where he played the character of Stoney Brooke in THE THREE MESQUITEERS. He actually got to show off his persona in these films. These films of been popping up on the AMC movie channel at odd hours, but one of them will be on Sat. 5/26 at 10:15 AM, EDT, called SANTA FE STAMPEDE. He really was great in PALS OF THE SADDLE, OVERLAND STAGE RAIDERS,THE NEW FRONTIER(FRONTIER HORIZON),THE NIGHT RIDERS and RED RIVER RANGE.
