A Ford In Your Past
Stanley Crouch, in a short piece on John Ford and John Wayne, overpraises the overpraised Searchers. So what else is new? This: "In the 1939 Stagecoach and the 1946 My Darling Clementine, Ford made Wayne a star...."
Highly surprising, seeing that Wayne does not appear in My Darling Clementine. Ford did direct it, at least Crouch got that right.

Stagecoach made John Wayne a star, but it was Red River, directed by Howard Hawks, that made John Wayne what we know him as today.
