Movie Reviews of They Were ExpendableMovie Review: Wonderful the way people believe in those high powered canoes of yours.
This was John Wayne's third film with John Ford, and first since The Long Voyage Home, made before the U.S. entered World War II. By the time They Were Expendable was made, the war was finishing up, and director Ford, first lead Robert Montgomery, and cinematographer Joseph H. August among others in the cast and crew had all served in the military during the conflict. But not second lead Wayne, who plays Lt. (Junior Grade) Rusty Ryan as a man full of inner turmoil and doubts likely mirroring the star's own psychological issues at the time. Ford picked on Wayne mercilessly on the set, and the fact that he and his star eventually came to terms with each other (through the intercession of Montgomery) certainly helped to heal the wounds, as they worked together regularly for the next 17 years. But it also left it's mark on Wayne's performance, and perhaps on his acting style as a whole.
