Tonight's Movie: Big Jim McLain
Tonight I caught up with a new-to-me John Wayne movie, BIG JIM McLAIN. Wayne plays the title character, a HUAC investigator hunting Communists in Hawaii along with James Arness.
This girl-next-door actor, discovered while in college at UCLA, briefly played leads in Hollywood in the early 1950s and returned as supportive wives in Disney's family films of the 60s.
Tonight's Movie: Submarine Command
