Actually, the John Ford trilogy was,The John Wayne and John Ford trilogy,
Rio Grande
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
Rio Bravo
Were a masterpiece in film making, the only slight downer was it had to be filmed in black & white and viewers missed out on the beautiful country side that the stories were told at!
Magnificent scenery!
Cuango- - It was 2:28am when I typed it so the order escaped me! SORRY 'BOUT THAT!Actually, the John Ford trilogy was,

Howard Hawks directed Rio Bravo.

My favorite John Wayne movies were all directed by either John Ford or Howard Hawks. I like others as well, but these are my favorites.
Not in order.

Wayne smoked 7 packs of cigarettes a day and was a known alcoholic.Sad Story
John Wayne, Susan Hayward, and 90 other people developed cancer after filming “The Conqueror” near a nuclear testing site
The producers of the film The Conqueror, which was released in 1956, decided to shoot the film near the remote town of St. George in the Utah desert, merely a hundred miles away from the infamous Nevada Test Site.
Approximately 100 nuclear bombs of various yields were detonated at the Nevada Test Site throughout the 1950s.
Out of 220 people who worked on the production of The Conqueror, 92 died of cancer, including Wayne, Hayward, and Armendáriz.
From the article,Wayne smoked 7 packs of cigarettes a day and was a known alcoholic.

Maybe Meryl Streep would know.Again, most actors or actresses would be eustatic with two or three hit movies during their career. How about one a year for thirty years.
