sexiest Wayne movie?
Is "Donovan's Reef" the sexiest film featuring John Wayne?
First, we get to see him bare-legged in shorts - I can't recall such a sight in his other films. Not that I'm interested in bare-legged men, though I recall a very long time ago seeing a magazine photo of him booking into a hotel in shorts and a colleague leaning over my shoulder and remarking what nice legs he had.
More to my taste were Ameilia's legs, and there were a couple of scenes when she was showing rather more of them than she liked. There was the strange scene when she strips off her cumbersome Victorian swimsuit to reveal that she had another bathing costume underneath, which she filled out quite nicely. And of course there was the spanking scene (though didn't Wayne spank Maureen O'Hara in another film, and there was a spanking scene in "True Grit", where Wayne was a disapproving spectator).
Then there was the light-hearted attitude the film showed to three children being born out of wedlock.
On the other hand, the native girls in the film were dressed rather more decorously than they would have been in real life.
Overall, the best thing about the film was the scenery.
