[MegaFilthyMcnasty]

The Duke. They don't make em' like that any more

[paolonove65]

Great John Wayne !!!!

[JuanMacready]

John Wayne was far too old for this film.

[bobszvetics1]

IT DOESNT GET AY BETTER THAN THIS

[sonnywestfan1]

Love this song!!!!

[shanghaibenny2]

Great movie and stars, of course. I remember being impressed by the story: the way the brothers all come together at the end.

[tripsadelica]

I'd like to say that John Wayne was a truly great actor, a gentle giant, a humble man (believe it or not) who was very kind and generous to all and I have that on good authority from someone who knew him "on set". Who cares what his war record was...must he be judged on that alone? His films are now iconic reminders of a time when the US was the number one nation in the world..In the 60s as a youngster in Australia I can tell you that he was an absolute hero! Vale Duke. May the US rise again.

[Eagle027]

Jimmy Stewart commanded a B-17 bomber wing over Germany. Glenn Ford did force recon for the Marines and was tortured by the enemy. Lee Marvin had won the purple heart.  Bob Hope took more real enemy fire then Wayne. Like Reagan, Wayne stayed in Hollywood and made movies.

[1949man]

@Eagle027 It's all relative.How old was he at the time?Still, a great actor/American.

[Eagle027]

@1949man Younger then Clark Gable who served on flying fortresses. Bob Hope saw more action then Wayne. Wayne was a popular actor , not a particularly good one. He was a movie star nothing more.

[Halo101st]

@Eagle027 And you, Mr. Keyboard Warrior, come across as being a jealous little loser yapping like a tiny Chihuahua at a great mans boot heels. John Wayne was far more than "a movie star." Do some research.

[Eagle027]

@Halo101st John Wayne never served in combat in the service of the USA. Clark Gable who was six years older served in WWII. This KeyBoard Warrior has a class ring with an eagle on each side of the stone, and serve in the First Infantry. Wayne was a good soldier where he had a stuntman or Director to yell cut, when it got to rough. You are confusing reality with fantasy. Gen Jimmy Stewart reality, John Wayne fantasy.

[Halo101st]

@Eagle027 And this two-tour veteran of Vietnam with the 101st Airborne Division says that there is no reason to denigrate John Wayne because he did not serve in WWII.

ALL respect to General Stewart and Clark Gable, as well as many other Hollywood actors who were men enough to serve, as compared to today's crop of losers who would rather switch than fight. John Wayne was no less a man for not serving. If memory serves, he was not able due to a knee injury from playing football at USC.

[Eagle027]

@Halo101st I'm not denigrating Wayne, I'm talking reality. Wayne made movies about heroes, he wasn't one himself. Bob Hope didn't serve active duty yet he risked his life on many occasion to serve the troops. People put mythical qualities into people who were just actors, and I include Ronald Reagan who got Jack Warner to assign him to training films while Reagan's Air Corps Wing shipped out to the Pacific. Sounds like you can deal with the truth. I was AOC 35 E with the Black Panthers.

[Halo101st]

@Eagle027 No offense, but, frankly, I do not know what you are doing other than trying to create a false impression of John Wayne. It serves no purpose. The man did things for other people that no one will ever know about. No one but left-wing whackos has anything bad to say about him so your 'revelations' are pointless.

I met the man while in uniform. I was impressed and I liked him. I enjoy his films and like his politics.

AOC 35 Echo... what was your unit?

[Eagle027]

@Halo101st AOC 35E and who I worked with was a test wannabe, and you failed. I said worked with the Black Panthers, and only somebody who actually served would know what I was talking about and would also know that's all I could say. What did John Wayne actually do to be called hero? Heroes are people who actually do something not act or talk tough on film. Some research assistant working on cure for cancer is doing more then Jon Wayne. I'm giving a true picture of Wayne, you're indenial

[Halo101st]

@Eagle027

2/327th, 101st Abn, Phan Thiet, 1968-69 and 2/502nd, 101st Abn, Phu Bai, 1969-70.

Wannabe? Yeah, that's me...

Never heard of your "Black Panthers"... and what was that unit again? Who's the wannabe?

[Eagle027]

@Halo101st . You never saw a unit patch on an ARVN ranger? Black Panther sitting on a Star with a yellow field. I knew a cook in the 101st Sgt Chou Chin, who would have known.

[jkoncz]

@Eagle027 all true lets keep our hero's our true hero's aside from the phony ones created by Hollywood.

[ragnor56]

The Duke .... The Memory lingers on in the movie legacy he left behind,

All heros have to ride into the their last sunset like we all will but as they say in reality " Gone but not foregotten"

Great actor who showed TRUE GRIT TO THE VERY END !!!

[ripmeanewon]

Clint Walker owned John Wayne, btw

NEWS BULLETIN the Natives of America were invaded by Terrorists....

[alexduartdias]

é sempre maravilhoso recordar esses files que agora estão escassos na tv só mesmo em dvd ou vhs se tem o prazer de apreciar um filme assim parabéns

[frofro73]

And I see why your named Peter because you swallow them

[dacacis1]

@frofro73

No....his name is PETER THE FLYING SHIT!!!!!!

[PeterFirthFan]

A bad movie with the draft dodging coward Wayne far too old for his part.

[carroj9]

John Wayne did not dodge the draft he was too old and had too many dependents the forces turned him away after he volunteered

[PeterFirthFan]

Nope. The cancer-ridden cunt never voluntered at all. Funny how it was OK for older men like Henry Fonda, a married father of several children, to serve but not John Cancer Fuck Wayne.

[schaffermatt]

Good Lord - such profanity-laced hatred for a guy that's been dead 30 years. Is it his lack of a military record or his age that keeps you from enjoying this, and that makes you think it's necessary to vent your spleen?

[PeterFirthFan]

He was far too old to play John Elder in this crap, boring movie.

[schaffermatt]

Agreed - he was - but you have to put the movie in its historical place as a piece of marketing and concede the power of "star presence" - audiences back then loved him and bought him in ANYTHING western-oriented. Look at The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. They're all in their mid-fifties, wooing Vera Miles who's in her early thirties - but all the characters are in their early twenties. Magic of the Movies - probably wouldn't play today. I still love it. Cheers.

[PeterFirthFan]

How old do you think John Elder was meant to be, late thirties? I thought TSOKE was a sluggish film, it's only interesting because it was his first movie since losing a lung. I've always liked George Kennedy but it was so obviously not him when he got hit in the face.

[dacacis1]

@PeterFirthFan

FUCK YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!!!

IF YOU DON'T LIKE JOHN WAYNE IT IS YOUR PROBLEM!!! BUT SHOW A LITTLE RESPECT ....SON OF A BITCH ...and look at you ...crap..

[kittykiller19]

u fuck face u dont even know who john wayne is u fucking pussy

[ambersstar1]

@PeterFirthFan john Wayne was more of a man than you will ever dream of being.,Show a little respect for your elders Dick Head!!

[dacacis1]

@PeterFirthFan

SHUT UP !!!! YOU'RE JUST A VERY STUPID ..GUY...STOP MAKE COMMENTS

YOU ARE NO GOOD..

[denisegregory1954]

Hi there love this video it is great ,lovely pictures of THE DUKE a great actor i love all his films, thanks for posting.

[tripsadelica]

Wonderful music by the master, Elmer Bernstein. The syncopation used in his various Wayne movie themes became instantly recognisable as his "style".

As to John Wayne...he had his faults, like any human being but, as we Aussies would say, he was a heck of a nice bloke!

[Schnullerbayern]

John Wanye is Nr. 1 in germany, we love John, go west, yuar are th best!

[bandchicko]

i totally got kicked out of school bc this song is my ringtone and it went of then ppl started makin funn of it then we started arguin abt john and....i got kicked out for foul language...i was so dagum pissed

[Thindza]

ultra manly

[undertaker181961]

john wayne,the best in the west!!!

[melollylolly]

johnrogersly is an idiot-he thinks just because somebody gets cancer that makes them a bad person

[SUPERHATARI]

Larga vida a JOHNWAYNE.

[stephaniebrugel]

John, I LOVE YOU !

[sumwrnusa]

In 1944, Wayne received a 2-A classification, "deferred in support of [the] national . . . interest."

No Damn draft dodger...He had 4 kids and was 35 yrs old.....

[PeterFirthFan]

Is that why it was OK for 37-year-old father of two Hank Fonda to serve?

[STEPHENAXT]

This man, or if you want to call him something else. Peterfirthfan. You have the right to say whatever you want. Its a free country. I will not take that right away from you. Please don't mess with my hero or my fathers.

[darth73]

I ´am the greatest german Duke Fan ever, John you are my Hero

[STEPHENAXT]

Talking about the duke is like talking about your mother. You respect him and the men of old. They gave us this country with there blood and sacrafice and millions around the world! Thankyou men of old!

[PeterFirthFan]

Is that why he dodged the draft?

[guenterloewen]

Danke von allen deutschen Fans!

Du bist der Beste!

germany love john wayne

[mossberg1000]

God Bless Mr John Wayne!

[slb928]

Great Theme!

[Mario04091964]

I LOVE YOU JOHN

[mickyboyblue]

he was an absolute legend !

[nikeclub]

It's true. John Wayne was a legend and he was a true hero to many of us. Thank you for your comment

[Eagle027]

@nikeclub No offense but John Wayne played heros, while Jimmy Stewart, Glenn Ford, and Lee Marvin wore the uniform and were real heroes

[ambersstar1]

@Eagle027 so according to you someone has to have served in the armed forces to be considered a hero?I would say that's pretty narrow mindedness! John Wayne stood for everything good and decent about this country,and always portrayed a character that stood for right and wrong and freedom., he was a great patriot and role model,compared to the crap that Hollywood barfs out now!!

[coulon2165]

no matter what ha`ppens the duke is the duke and you cant beat him no matter what

[ciachosek]

john wayne jest niepowtarzalny i the best

[ipfeldspar]

Great photos!  An excellent tribute!

[golf7272]

Great western and the Duke was at his best!!!

[JohnRogersly]

Actually he had lung cancer.

[golf7272]

So who really cares... It was after all what 30 years ago....

[JohnRogersly]

45 years ago.

[golf7272]

Not quite 30 years. June 11th, 1979. I had duty on my ship that evening.

[JohnRogersly]

I thought we were talking about when he had lung cancer.

[JohnRogersly]

The Sons of Katie Elder was crap. Wayne was far too old.

[jache77]

best western ever! thanks john!

[manny5442]

BIG JAKE..." I thought you were dead"...."the next guy who says that is gonna be dead.."...at the end Richard Boone says..."I thought you was dead"....then he dies.

[dubois714]

They don't get much better than this. I think my favorite Duke western is McLintock!!

[geargemartin]

i'll second that pilgrim.

[realbark]

Excellent

[claydopeproductions]

love the song and love the images thanks great work

[nikeclub]

oh..you´re welcome.

[nikeclub]

thank you very much everyone . Duke forever

[keiai007]

この人よく知らないけど有名なアメリカの映画俳優ですよね？西部­劇で有名なはずです（僕の研究が正しければ）

[nikeclub]

ジョンウェインは非常に有名なジョンウーとして、世界中のアジア­で

[favoritner]

Elmer Bernstein at his best.

[Jaqhama]

Great music. Epic is right. Great actor.

And great movies from an era we shall not see the like of again.

[ninelivecat]

The Duke :)

[CAHokie]

I agree. This song is the best of the western themes. Oddly enough, the song for Blazing Saddles was also emblematic of the West. The only recent song in this category is the one associated with Dances with Wolves.

[58crocketteer]

The greatest Western theme of them all!!

To hell with Good, Bad & Ugly!

This is still the Epic spirit of the West - then and now!!!

[Gedoensexperte]

I agree too. I love the old Western. My favorit is John Wayne.

[rone1171]

What an actor, what a man, one of the greats

[Izrae]

cool movie, cool song

love it
