Скачать или смотреть John Wayne & Maureen O'Hara - All Their Films Ranked

John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara made exactly five films together over twenty-one years, creating one of Hollywood's most legendary on-screen partnerships. This deep dive ranks all five collaborations from their forgotten 1957 experiment to the Oscar-winning masterpiece that nearly never got made.

Discover the inside story of how director John Ford spent fifteen years fighting to make "The Quiet Man," only getting studio approval after striking a deal to film "Rio Grande" first as proof the Wayne-O'Hara pairing could sell tickets. You'll learn why Republic Pictures president Herbert J. Yates called Ford's passion project "a silly little Irish story that will never make a penny"—before it became the studio's biggest moneymaker ever.

The video reveals which of their five films earned fourteen and a half million dollars to become their biggest commercial hit, yet ranks only second due to its controversial legacy. You'll find out why O'Hara had limited screen time in their final collaboration "Big Jake" despite being billed in the credits, and why she admitted she "wasn't crazy" about the role but did it anyway because "it was Duke."

Most compelling is the exploration of their off-screen friendship—how Wayne called O'Hara "the only woman who has been my friend like a man would be," their final conversation at his hospital bedside in 1979, and the secret O'Hara whispered in Wayne's ear during "The Quiet Man" that both stars took to their graves.
