Almost two decades after Wayne passed away, the BBC released a documentary named The Unquiet American. In this documentary, the producers hinted at a possible reason Wayne didn’t join the army – he didn’t have a typewriter to complete the necessary forms.

Avoidance of War
The producer of this documentary, James Kent, had an interview with the Independent and spoke about the actor’s avoidance of WWII. He stated that it was an entirely careerist move where he could fill the vacuum left by other actors who joined the war effort.
