Jack Linkletter interviews John Wayne who just finished making the Motion Picture HATARI. In this rare early television interview, only his third (one with Sheila Graham in 1955, and one with Jack Paar on the Tonight Show in 1960), Wayne discusses his experience working on HATARI, his favorite directors with whom he as worked with over the years, his early frustrations as an actor leading to an ulcer, the difference between an A picture and a B picture, his love for working in the wide open spaces and making westerns, the difference between acting natural and being natural on the screen, his future aspirations and his personal views and philosophy of life.
NOTE: This TV Audio Air Check was originally recorded by Phil Gries and recently relocated (12/2019) and re-evaluated. It was not originally considered archival worthy because of audio imperfections and sound quality. However, because of its rarity this air check has been specially mixed and improved. The sound has been boosted and equalized. Currently, very acceptable listening, preserving this rare interview with motion picture legend, John Wayne.
