I'd think it'd have to be one of Ken's films that supposedly takes place here in the U.S., which narrows the number of choices. For me, it'd have to be "Crimes of Passion" with Wayne playing the part of Donny Hopper, the part played y Bruce Davison in the film, or I should say an older version of Donny Hopper.
Wayne did make one film set in London. Did you ever see 1975's "Brannigan?" Wayne plays a Chicago policeman, who has come to London to take back an American criminal wanted in Chicago.
And while in London, Wayne encounters misunderstandings with the London police, including Richard Attenborough and Judy Geeson, a hired killer, who wants him dead, kidnappers, a car chase through the streets of London, and instead of a western bar brawl, a London pub punchup.
And only in a film can you see the Houses of Parliament from New Scotland Yard.
