"The Searchers" was directed by John Ford. "True Grit" was directed by Hathaway. I was surprised to see, though, that "Red River" was indeed directed by Hawks. All three were great films showing Wayne could really act with the right material. Too bad he spent most of his career making fluff.

I may have been too harsh on Hawks...he had no monopoly on those typical and forgetable "John Wayne" westerns and adventure flicks of the 50s-60s.
