On this day in 1955, Blood Alley premiered, with John Wayne starring as Captain Tom Wilder in a Cold War adventure through the Formosa Strait. Duke wasn’t the original choice—he stepped in after Humphrey Bogart left the project. The film was also produced by Duke’s production company, Batjac, and shot on location in California’s rugged Point Lobos, doubling for the South China Sea.
