John Wayne Movie Review: ***Pittsburgh (1942)

 This movie is not about the city, but the man, Pittsburgh Markham (John Wayne).  He was big into coal, he and his best friend, Cash Evans (Randolph Scott).  However there was a woman who came between them, Josie Winters (Marlene Dietrich).  Markham makes his money, and destroys relationships in doing so.  It finally catchers up to him, and he ends up broke.  He starts over again, at the bottom.  His hard wark is noticed, and Evans calls him in to be a vice president, not realizing who he is.  And this is what starts a resolution.  This is during the time of war, and everyone is needed to increase production of war materials.
