The Clint Eastwood Movie That John Wayne Disliked So Much He Wrote Him A Letter About It

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي]

Clint Eastwood's High Plains Drifter angered John Wayne so much that he wrote Eastwood a letter about it. Eastwood was an up-and-coming Western star during the early 1960s, which should have made him the natural successor to Wayne, who had been acting since the 1930s. Wayne had first made a name for himself in 1939's Stagecoach, and he resented the darker turn Westerns were taking when Eastwood came along, especially the gritty spaghetti Westerns Clint Eastwood was famous for, such as the Dollar Trilogy.
