OVERALL: Draw

Avoid the UK Delta release as it's cut, though note some of the other UK releases may also be cut.

John Wayne made over 70 films during the 1930s, most of which were pre-superstardom B-movies. The rights and original materials of many of these have changed hands numerous times and/or fallen into public domain due to copyright renewal neglect. Many have also been re-edited and reissued often over the years, and/or had inappropriate new music scores added, particularly during the 1950s and 1980s. There are also many colorized versions dating from the 1980s-2000s.

For charting the various releases, the Duke Filmography site is the most detailed resource online.
