John Wayne was an icon of the Golden Age of Hollywood, but early in his career The Duke was embarrassed by making these three Westerns.
John Wayne was a towering figure of Hollywood's Golden Age in the '40s and '50s, so it's hard to imagine The Duke being embarrassed by making these three Western movies. In the '20s, Wayne started out making pre-Code movies that capitalized on his college football days such as The Brown of Harvard but wanted to act in Westerns, and in the '30s, he made the sort that only took a couple of days to shoot.
John Wayne Was Once A Singing Cowboy As it turns out, some studios in the early '30s wanted to make John Wayne a singing cowboy, predating Gene Autry's Tumbling Tumbleweeds in 1935. In total, Wayne made three singing cowboy movies including Riders of Destiny, The New Frontier, and Lawless Range in which he rode a horse strumming a guitar and singing "The Desert Song" and similar melodies.
