  • A Man Betrayed (UK title Citadel of Crime, TV title Wheel of Fortune)
    is a 1941 American film starring John Wayne.


    Not much to shout about here!!
    All in all, a very mediocre film, and
    another routine assignment for Duke.
    This was a bit of a come-down after his previous films.
    However Ward Bond was great as "Goon"
    playing a simple minded nut, he was very convincing.
    Alas, this was a poor, and contrived film,

  • I thought Ward Bond played a convinceing half wit and Ms Dee was not hard to watch.

  • Looks like this one is no longer available on Amazon. It's the only film of the Duke's from the 1940s that I am still missing. I should have bought it back when it was last released in 1998. I have yet to see the film either.

  • Thanks, Young 'Un! Well, now I know what I am missing until I find it! So far, I haven't found anything he didn't play well. I might not have liked the character he was playing, but he made even ME believe he was THAT character, LOL! KEITH

    God, she reminds me of me! DUKE
