Some folks say THE DUKE. But he was nicknamed after his big dog Duke, and he was Little Duke when he was young. He was called Duke, never THE DUKE. Just a bit of trivia. KP
Part III: And so, while True Grit didn’t showcase Wayne’s greatest performance, winning an Oscar is as much about luck as it is skill, and as ballplayers like to say, “I’d rather be lucky than good.”
Part II: Wayne also deserved nominations for The Searchers (1956) and The Cowboys (1972), but not the Oscars for them. Kirk Douglas deserved the Oscar for Lust for Life (1956), but the Academy gave it to Yul Brynner for The King and I. And while Wayne deserved the nomination over Paul Winfield in Sounder in 1972, the Oscar that year went to a fellow named Brando for The Godfather.
With all due respect, Wayne deserved a nomination for The Shootist that year over Bill Holden in Network, but not the Oscar. Robert DeNiro was better in Taxi Driver.
davedaddy101- the movie which you have described is the wonderful John Ford John Wayne collaboration called "Rio Grande." It is the third in John Ford's famous cavalry trilogy (though he did direct other cavalry pictures) all of which star John Wayne- Ford's best leading man. Your sense of the story is slightly off, the son did not join just to be with his father, and he was not showing off for him when he fell off the horses whilst riding "like the ancient Romans" as Victor McLaglen describes
@603229 The film your talking about is RIO GRANDE, Co Starting Maruen Ohara, Ben Johnson, Harry Carry JR, And the kid playing his son was Claude Jarmin JR, ( not sure on spelling on the last name ) And it was out west a calvery picture, not during the civil war. It was part of a calvery trilogy, along with She Wore A yellow Ribbon, And Fort Appache.
Does anyone remember a film where J Wayne was an officer in the Civil War, and his son who he hardly knew, joined the army just to get close to him. JW wanted to keep it strictly business. Also, his son fell off a horse showing off to him while doing a drill where you stand in between 2 horses and ride both of them? I saw it with my grandpa in the early 1980s. I'd love to know what it is called. Thanks.
"i would not die a death like I just described...not if i had your courage." that gives me goosebumps! so many wonderful lines in this movie can really move you and raise the hairs on your arms..it's incredible. John Wayne is incredible.
We should gun down evil people just like John Wayne gunned them down. Well, the worlds not that simple. We should go back to defending ourselves and killing home invaders, rapists, car thieves, child molesters. Gunshot wounds cure societies of those ailments permanently as long as we make sure the right people get shot. for that matter, kill the crooked politicians with them too.
OMG!! I really hate John Wayne and all his crap movies. John Wayne, why did you not fight for your country? These were the big heroes, Jimmy Stewart, Lee Marvin, Neville Brand, Jason Robards, Jr., Henry Fonda, Sterling Hayden, Glenn Ford,
Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and Rod Serling. These were my heroes, not you, Wayne? Damn coward.
the only thing i know for certain is that he did from cancer i can feel for his family becouse a doctor in tulsa told sherlene she had cancer and after the surgery 12 patients came down with food poisening one at least one died and on the news a woman was sueing a hospital in tulsa it seams she came out from under anestashia to find she was being raped please see ms bones to find out what happened to sherlene
John Wayne is the greatest for me. In a situation for example at war when i could save his life but i had to die to do this i wouldnt hesitate a second...
Hating or disliking John Wayne because he didn't enlist is nothing but idiotic. Being afraid of dying is very human. If you do not want to take that risk, then you do not enlist. It was his choice and everyone should respect it.
Beside, fighting wars isn't always what makes a hero. Someone who brought entertainment to millions of peoples is a hero in his own way. He nearly defines the Westerns. And if he had fought in war, maybe no one here today would know him and love his movies.

The reason the duke wasnt a soldier in ww11 was.. he was a married man with a family so therefore couldnt enlist even if he wanted to...besides his movies and propaganda films at that time did a huge amount for the war effort..any man who calls john wayne a coward is probably sitting behind a computer himself..pulling his OWN WIRE..

I think the John Wayne movies of the 70's where his best,He showed a more human side,a vulnerability.of course he was sick and dying even during the filming of this.I have trouble controlling my Blood pressure,when I hear dumbasses run down the Duke, we are lost as a nation,cant see the damn forest 4 the trees,even though im only 34,Im old school at heart,I miss the old actors,sometimes when I watch the westerns,I feel like I was born 100 years too late,back when MEN Where Men.not wimpy fairys

We have all seen the big Wayne image on screen. I was just wondering if he was the great American hero he claimed to be. I mean, did he fight for his nation during WW2? I have checked and found he did not. WHY!!!?
The Shootist is, essentially, the death knell of the classic Western era. There were a dozen westerns made every year through the 50s and 60s, and several a year into the 1970s. In 1976, The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Missouri Breaks, Keoma, The Shootist, and a couple others came out. After that year, the genre peters out, with pretty much nothing of consequence made for several years, and then only one or two important westerns every couple years, a trend which has continued ever since. Pity.
@deuxchem John Wayne - Football injury, why he became an actor, same injury prevented military service he tried to sign up but they wouldn't let him because of his injury. Paid his taxes, Supported soldiers from the home front I don't think you would have had the balls to go to Vietnam and be with combat troops for weeks on end taking fire from enemy forces! Shut the Fuck up! Get your facts straight.
Nothing is more American then John Wayne and if your accused of not likeing the Duke well then you should be treated the same as if you were accused of being a communist in the 1950's.
Some postings state Wayne at 70 years old was too old to portray a gunfighter. One correction to that theory: Real-life lawman -- gun man Bill Tilghman at 70 in 1924 accepted a position as marshal of Cromwell, Oklahoma. Wayne playing a 70 year old gunfighter is quite plausible. Maybe in the novel Books was 57 -- but everything in Hollywood is tailored to the actors & script. Even Bonnie & Clyde's story is innacurate. They never "captured" Frank Hamer -- the man who killed them.
Was it fate that John Wayne's last movie also included wonderful Wayne alumni -- Lauren Bacall, Richard Boone, James Stewart, John Carradine, Scatman Crothers, Harry Morgan & including great supporting actors in Sheree North, Hugh O'Brien, Ronny Howard & the ONLY actor to have been killed by both John Wayne and Clint Eastwood -- Bill McKinney. This is one of Wayne's best. An appropriate end to one of the best, most consistent careers in film. Remarkable performances & dialogue.
I think this is probably John Wayne's best movie, but even though I own it, I have trouble watching it because it is too painful, and it was also the last major movie Jimmy Stewart was in. Wayne and Stewart were WONDERFUL, and I miss them!!!!
@deuxchem actually the horse he road in most of his later movies was his own. (Beau from True Grit) He owned his own ranch, in fact the belt buckle he always wore was his real brand, The Red River D brand. Taken from the movie Red River. And he wasnt a draft dodger, he was 34 yrs old at the time of Pearl Harbor and being such was to old to qualify for the draft. He actually requested a special service enlistment to join the Army and was denied because of his family status. So shhhhh
this is a great movie im 35 years old an i love john wayne we will never forget the great duke he was the greastest a gentlemen RIP and god bless our beloved john wayne he is truley missed
juan your a idiot! the movie is about a old retired gunfighter. george c scott was only 49 when the movie was made. the gunfighter was not in anyway like this movie. just stick to your harry potter movies.
@JuanMacready Although,Wayne was 70 years old when he made this movie,his character,J.B. Books was supposed to be 57 years old which makes sense since he is supposed to be a man who has out lived his time. A 19th century frontiersman still alive at the beginning of the new world of the 20th century. The fact that Wayne looked younger than 70 combined with the fact that Books is ill make him believable as a 57 years old man.
@JuanMacready I don't agree. Someone said that George C. Scott would been better in the role,but the point of putting Wayne in the role of a man of old times dying at the beginning of a new age is that this is what Wayne himself was. By 1976 the western was a dying art form & Wayne was no longer its premier practioner. Clint Eastwood was. Also, his own physical death was just around the corner. The Shootist was a great actor's last stand as a man and as a symbol of a bygone age. Great film.
@sleedolfine15 George C Scott would have been 48 at the time of filming. 48 was considered old for a gunfighter, and Scott always looked about ten years older than he was. The Shootist was just a slow TV-like variation on The Gunfighter, and if Wayne had made more films it wouldn't even be remembered.
@JuanMacready i think that was pretty nasty he was getting older and im pretty sure he was sick wen he did this film we should be great full he left us with so many great movies i live in austrlia wen u mention the usa u think of the great john wayne
@JuanMacready Wasn't he a victim in a long line of victims who starred in a late '50's/early '60's movie that was filmed on a former nuclear detonation site in Utah and which radiated the actors and crew?
Wayne was far too old to play John Bernard Books. They should have cast a much better actor like George C Scott. The film was just a slow and boring rip-off of The Gunfighter.
@JuanMacready juan your a idiot! the movie is about a old retired gunfighter. george c scott was only 49 when the movie was made. the gunfighter was not in anyway like this movie. just stick to your harry potter movies.
Whats so great about John Wayne? I havent really ever watched his movies they dont intrigue me really his acting isnt that great it seems. i LOVE Eastwood but dont really get the obsession with Wayne. Someone explain it to me?
If you notice in most Eastwood movies, he plays similar characters and similar plot lines. Whereas Mr. Wayne plays all sorts of roles, ranging from Civil War commander to a Lt. in the Marines in WW2 to an anonymous Roman soldier (he was in the Passion of Christ). he has a style and grace and a level of...well, manlines and masculanity that was long lost to actors sometime after the 1970's, and he represents great dynamic acting.
DON'T CARE about the arguments between fellow Eastwood fans and traditionalist Wayne afficianados. This film is one of the very best westerns EVER made.
"I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people. I require the same from them." Good way to live.
I'd have to say that this movie had the perfect all-star cast: John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, John Carradine, Ron Howard, Lauren Bacall, Hugh O'Brien, and Scatman Crothers. I mean, Damn! In all honesty, I wish I was Ron Howard in this movie. This young man could've learned alot about acting from all the movie industry's luminaries that were his co-stars in this film. RIP to John Wayne, John Carradine, James Stewart, and Scatman Crothers, and thanks Lauren, Hugh, and Ron for your parts in this movie.
The Duke, Clint, Glen Ford, Robert Duvall, Dan Duryea, Gary Cooper, Jimmy Stewart, and the sly James Garner. All classic, all gone.(except Garner) Who'd I miss?
@JuanMacready Duvall is only a character actor ? Your a moron.Duval has won the Best Actor Oscar for Tender Mercies and The Apostle(which he also wrote and directed).He's won Best Supporting Actor Oscars for Apocalypse Now,The Godfather and A Civil action. Clint Eastwood has not retired.He's currently directing and producing 2010's Hearafter.He directed and produced 2009's Invicutus.He directed and starred in 2008 Grand Torino. Do some research before making idiotic statements.
@JuanMacready Your stupidity is amazing.Your response is as idiotic as your first comment. I will not respond to any more of your comments. It's impossible to argue with a moron.
@JuanMacready Did your mother drop you on your head alot when you were a child ? The original comment read..."All classic,ALL GONE." Implying they were all dead.Nothing was said about retirement or recent movies even though Duvall is currently shooting a movie in which he is the star. Which part of "All gone" don't you understand ? It's only two words.
Just visited LA and did the Warner Brothers Studio tour which included a visit to the house of Bond Rodgers, Lauren Bacall, very moving visit. A Very moving movie, brilliantly shot!!!
I won't be wronged I won't be insulted. I won't be layed a hand on. I don't do these thing to other people. I require the same from them. Best saying I have ever heard. I live by it. Duke you may be gone, but you will live on the screen and in our hearts forever. He was all our hero when we were growing up as kids and he still is. Yes, he was Mr. America.
It's hard to believe that when my grandad was in libya in the 1950's he met john wayne and went to the cinema and even had a meal with him. My grandad was working as an air traffic controller in one of the airports there just after the war when he was an RAF pilot. He sadly passed away not long after john died in the 1980's.
John was a true living legend. A true american :) im half scottish half english btw but i respect that.
Do you realize he was dying of cancer and his friends helped bring about this project in honor to him? He was made for the part in more ways than one.
Greatest Western ever my ass. "Unforgiven" is the greatest Western ever.

Maybe in the novel Books was 57 -- but everything in Hollywood is tailored to the actors & script. Even Bonnie & Clyde's story is innacurate. They never "captured" Frank Hamer -- the man who killed them.

Was it fate that John Wayne's last movie also included wonderful Wayne alumni -- Lauren Bacall, Richard Boone, James Stewart, John Carradine, Scatman Crothers, Harry Morgan & including great supporting actors in Sheree North, Hugh O'Brien, Ronny Howard & the ONLY actor to have been killed by both John Wayne and Clint Eastwood -- Bill McKinney. This is one of Wayne's best. An appropriate end to one of the best, most consistent careers in film. Remarkable performances & dialogue.

I think this is probably John Wayne's best movie, but even though I own it, I have trouble watching it because it is too painful, and it was also the last major movie Jimmy Stewart was in. Wayne and Stewart were WONDERFUL, and I miss them!!!!

@deuxchem actually the horse he road in most of his later movies was his own. (Beau from True Grit) He owned his own ranch, in fact the belt buckle he always wore was his real brand, The Red River D brand. Taken from the movie Red River. And he wasnt a draft dodger, he was 34 yrs old at the time of Pearl Harbor and being such was to old to qualify for the draft. He actually requested a special service enlistment to join the Army and was denied because of his family status. So shhhhh

@JuanMacready Although,Wayne was 70 years old when he made this movie,his character,J.B. Books was supposed to be 57 years old which makes sense since he is supposed to be a man who has out lived his time. A 19th century frontiersman still alive at the beginning of the new world of the 20th century. The fact that Wayne looked younger than 70 combined with the fact that Books is ill make him believable as a 57 years old man.

@sleedolfine15 Even with his wig and multiple plastic surgeries Wayne looked more like 77 than 57.
JuanMacready 1 year ago
@JuanMacready I don't agree. Someone said that George C. Scott would been better in the role,but the point of putting Wayne in the role of a man of old times dying at the beginning of a new age is that this is what Wayne himself was. By 1976 the western was a dying art form & Wayne was no longer its premier practioner. Clint Eastwood was. Also, his own physical death was just around the corner. The Shootist was a great actor's last stand as a man and as a symbol of a bygone age. Great film.
sleedolfine15 1 year ago
@sleedolfine15 George C Scott would have been 48 at the time of filming. 48 was considered old for a gunfighter, and Scott always looked about ten years older than he was. The Shootist was just a slow TV-like variation on The Gunfighter, and if Wayne had made more films it wouldn't even be remembered.

@CyKoPathiK12
If you notice in most Eastwood movies, he plays similar characters and similar plot lines. Whereas Mr. Wayne plays all sorts of roles, ranging from Civil War commander to a Lt. in the Marines in WW2 to an anonymous Roman soldier (he was in the Passion of Christ). he has a style and grace and a level of...well, manlines and masculanity that was long lost to actors sometime after the 1970's, and he represents great dynamic acting.

In all honesty, I wish I was Ron Howard in this movie. This young man could've learned alot about acting from all the movie industry's luminaries that were his co-stars in this film. RIP to John Wayne, John Carradine, James Stewart, and Scatman Crothers, and thanks Lauren, Hugh, and Ron for your parts in this movie.

It's hard to believe that when my grandad was in libya in the 1950's he met john wayne and went to the cinema and even had a meal with him. My grandad was working as an air traffic controller in one of the airports there just after the war when he was an RAF pilot. He sadly passed away not long after john died in the 1980's.
