EMIL'S NOTES

Also nominated were A THUNDER OF DRUMS (1961); BUGLES IN THE AFTERNOON (1952); THE COMMAND (1954); LITTLE BIG HORN (1951); OH! SUSANNAH (1951).

This sub genre runs through the 40's and ‘50s and pretty much dies out by the 70's. It was clearly dominated by John Ford with five of the Top 12, four of those with John Wayne.
