In "The Greatest Story Ever Told," John "Duke" Wayne played a cameo
role as the centurion who leads Jesus to his Crucifixion and has one
line to deliver: "Truly, this was the Son of God." According to a
popular, but apocryphal, story, when Wayne delivered his line for the
first time, director George Stevens cut the action and told Wayne:
"You're referring to the Son of God here, Duke. You've got to deliver
the line with a little more awe." Whereupon Wayne announced on the
next take: "Aw, truly this was the Son of God."
