Il grande tormento (1941)
Il dottor Howitt si ferma a casa di Sammy per curare il padre di lei, ferito. Sammy è fidanzata a Jack, un ragazzo dai dolorosi trascosi familiari, essendo stato abbandonato dal padre in giovane età. Howitt decide di fermarsi e la sua somiglianza con Jack non può non essere notata. I due si scontreranno a fucilate.La storia è vecchia quanto l'America, ma Wayne, che aveva poco più di trent'anni funziona. Perfetta la regia.
