Renowned director John Ford toiled away in second-rate westerns as John Wayne was just starting his acting career. Then, he gave the future megastar a role—Wayne’s breakout role as Ringo Kid in the western adventure “Stagecoach” (1939). During their primes, the pair collaborated on epic tales, such as one of my favorite World War II movies: “They Were Expendable” (1945).
