     John Wayne plays Spig and Ford directs The Wings of Eagles, which also offers a fascinating glimpse
     into the ways and world of Ford: Ward Bond plays moviemaker John Dodge, a role modeled on Ford. 
     Maureen O'Hara, Wayne's five-time co-star (including Ford's The Quiet Man), 
     and Dan Dailey (of Ford's 1952 What Price Glory?) play Spig's indomitable wife Min 
     and cigar-chomping sidekick "Jughead" Carson.
