Answer: Wagonmaster

'Wagonmaster' starred Ben Johnson, then Bond took over the lead role for the 'Wagon Train' series.

3. Name the Nicholas Ray cult film co-starring Bond and Joan Crawford. (not the first time they did!)

Answer: Johnny Guitar

Bond co-starred with Crawford before, twice in the thirties in two Clarence Brown films; in 1934's "Chained" and two years later in "The Gorgeous Hussy". Bond's roles were uncredited in both. Michael Curtiz directed Joan to her Oscar in "Mildred", Vincent Sherman lensed "Damned" and Charles Walters directed (and danced with Joan in the opening scene!) "Torch Song". "Johnny Guitar" was Joan's only western and the only Ray film she and Bond were in.

Ford quit the film after arguing with star Henry Fonda; Mervyn LeRoy finished it.

George Waggner's film had Bond's character, Pop, killed by enemy fire in an ambush before the sub dived.

6. Which film cast Bond as a lying killer?

Answer: Young Mr. Lincoln

In the title role, Fonda brilliantly broke the alibi of murderer Bond, who tried to frame two brothers for his crime.(the ploy used by Fonda, by the way, was used by the real Lincoln in one of his trials.)

Answer: They Were Expendable

Veteran Ford based the film, starring Bond, John Wayne and Robert Montgomery, on the creation and service of the Patrol Boats.

9. Which film cast Bond as a fictional stand-in for Ford?

Answer: The Wings Of Eagles

Bond played a fictinal version of Ford in Ford's tribute to writer 'Spig' Wead(who wrote Ford's "They Were Expendable", among others), played by Wayne.

10. Who directed the last film Bond and Wayne co-starred in?

Answer: Howard Hawks
