Hello all,
I am a newbie to this message board. I am a 45 year old avid John Wayne movie fan in Texas. I have 90 John Wayne DVDs and another 22 movies recorded from AMC or TCM.
I just recently read Aissa Wayne's book and I am curious about the movie she says he wanted to make before he died. Apparently he wanted to make "Candy's Man" with Ron Howard. Does anyone know if this movie was ever made by someone else? What was it about?
Thanks!
Yakima

first off welcome!
i don't know the answer to your question, but i have a friend who might know. i do know he liked ron and did want to make another film with him.but someone out there in DUKE land may have this knowedge. -
I had always heard that the film Duke was planing on doing with Ron Howard was going to be called Beau John, based on the book of the same name by Buddy Atkinson. Of course, his declining health prevented it from being made, as he was just too sick to work those last few years of his life.
