“A man ought to do what he thinks is best.” – John Wayne

Duke takes on one of his most iconic roles as Hondo Lane in Hondo (1953). Fun fact: Pal, the dog who played Sam, was also the original screen Lassie.

The film was based on a story by Louis L’Amour, and as Duke said:

“When I read Louis L’Amour’s exciting novel, I knew I had to play Hondo Lane in a motion picture. In the man Hondo, I found the very spirit of the Old West.” – John Wayne
