Big Jim McLain ★★ 1952

Wayne and Arness are federal agents working on behalf of the House UnAmerican Activities Committee to eliminate communist terrorism in Hawaii. And there's a suspicious psychiatrist, too: Wayne falls for a babe whose boss is a shrink who doesn't quite seem on the level. Definitely not a highpoint in the Duke's career. 90m/C VHS, DVD . John Wayne, Nancy Olson, James Arness, Veda Ann Borg; D: Edward Ludwig; C: Archie Stout.
