I. “The rare Fox production was originally 95 minutes but was cut to 72 minutes before release, eliminating small roles by both Humphrey Bogart and John Wayne (still visible in the background!). It was recently restored (still at 72 minutes) by UCLA.” (Michael J. Weldon)6

II. "Of all the "possible" titles linked to John Wayne, WOMEN OF ALL NATIONS seems the unlikeliest candidates, even with the availability of existing copies to view. One source that tied the Duke's name to the project was Foothill Video of California. Its owner informed one of our readers that researchers at UCLA who had worked on a restoration of the film contended that it was none other than an un-credited John Wayne, in heavy makeup and a wig, playing Olaf, the giant, lovesick-crazed, Swedish boyfriend of the heroine. The copy I have is of poor quality; I can't spot anything in the mannerisms and vocalizations of this character to make me confident that I am watching John Wayne. Is it possible? I suppose so. But Wayne would have been in his last few weeks of employment for the Fox studios when WOMEN began shooting in February of '31. Could Director Walsh have thrown his Big Trail protégé a small part as he faced the news that Fox would not be renewing his contract? Bears thinking.” Volume 15 No, 59

Ethan...This Film does not appear on 99% of Dukes List of Appearances! And I think there is a list out there of *Duke may have appeared in one or more of these Films*..
Why hasn't a Film Historian does his/her research on these *possible* appearances?

Thanks for you post.
It has always been of interest on this forum of possible Duke sightings!

We do have this thread, including compilations of our long time member elly

Hello Keith,

Although unaccredited, I have just verified the above film has a "Quick Clip" of JW on George White's Scandles towards the beginning...
