In this short interview with perhaps the greatest cowboy of them all, a slightly weary sounding John Wayne speaks eloquently about the Western genre and how trends in film-making are determined more by individual box-office successes than the popularity of particular types of movie.
John Wayne is pictured in costume from the 1948 film '3 Godfathers', directed by John Ford.
From the BBC Archives. Recorded 24 January 1964.
