With that out of the way, I can say John Wayne was a excellent film actor who was also well versed in how to make movies, and for me, Clint Eastwood is an excellent film director who is also at home in front of the camera. While both made westerns Eastwood is as well know for his other roles as for the classic western. Wayne, has made other films, from comedy to war but, he is best known as a western actor. For Wayne his best western roles have showcased his great acting talents in films that presented deep often disturbing characters. Think back on Red River, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, The Shootist, The Cowboys and greatest of all, The Searchers. He did it so well, his ability was often taken for granted. Mr. Eastwood make a dark brooding type of western too with grand results, Pale Rider, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, and perhaps best of the lot The Unforgiven. So for me the edge by sheer volume of great work, goes to John Wayne as the actor of the two men. But for direction I would vote for Clint Eastwood.

Clint by a landslide.Hold on there pilgrim, can't go along with you on that one.In no shape or form is the racist driven Ethan Edwards from The Searchers equal compare to Captain Brittles aging Calvary leader from She Wore A Yellow Ribbon. Nor is Tom Doniphon of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence a man who is being left behind in more ways than one the same person Quite Man's haunted former prizefighter the same person as the dying gunfighter of The Shootist. I stand by the statement, that John Wayne did what he did in such a simple easy manner you could not catch him "acting".

Instead, people do impressions of Clint's squint.
