Nothing quite like a good western. Just when I had started to think they don't make 'em like they used to I saw Good for Nothing, a film shot in New Zealand a la spaghetti western style that does all the classics justice while being completely unique at the same time. A great film if you love westerns, goodfornothingmovie(dot)com
I knew a kid in elementary school who reminded me of Marshall Dillan. He kind of looked like him, as I recall. Unfortunately, unlike MD, he was a bit of a jerk. The only thing he would shoot was off his mouth. He claimed a lot more about himself than was probably true.
I type in 'John Wayne' in the search bar, and the first video that i'm given is drivel from Lil Wayne -a hideous, untalented rap "artist"-. What has happened to our world?
Hello Cookieman,.....starlets and would -be starlets referred to Dale Robertson as the man from Harrah, Oklahoma,.....and you got the correct answer....is was Dale Robertson. If you ever stop in to the Oasis Saloon in Dodge City I will give you an award and it will be the Byron Foulger Award for ....COURAGE.
With the passing of James Arness in June 2011, we now have only ONE BIG Western star living who fought in the Second World War. He went into the Army as a Private and came out a 2nd Lieutenant. He was wounded twice in the line of fire and I consider him the LAST great western star. People who know the Western genre refer to him as...............and his name is..........?......and he also was a friend of Duke Wayne.
This was actually a very dirty trick played by John Wayne, to remove James Arness as a potential cinematic rival. Back then Wayne OWNED the big, straight-talkin', honest, no-compromise ,cowboy-as-hero role. James Arness came along and was seen by Wayne's "people" as a threat. He was "diverted," the same trick Alan Ladd and Steve McQueen played, to protect their kingdoms in Star-town. The king of "run-'em-off-or-ruin-'em-early? None other than Spencer Tracy. All true Hollywood history, sadly.
John Wayne was in Mass. General Hospital at the same time as my husband was, way back..It was cool to see as you went in, off to the right was a room with burgundy carpeting..robed curtains etc.. but we didn't know at that time just what was going on. smile!
I love this Jim...Did you know that John Wayne was the one that was wanted, but it was said that John Wayne was too big for the horse, so he himself, told the "powers that be" to hire James Arness for this one. Good video!! Good job!! hugs, phyldy xoxo
Yes, the people with the smart money said that.. William Farnum...Buck Jones...and John Wayne were the biggest Western stars of their era. William Farnum was the first man to ride through the desert on a horse with no name.
There is actually a biography just out about Glenn Ford's life (I believe it is the first biography every written about him) written by his son Peter Ford called Glenn Ford: A Life.
I am working on it right now, it is quite interesting, it uses the a lot of what Glenn Ford wrote in his personal diaries as well as interviews with him when he was alive and his co-stars.
@ Richard Elden,....I, for one, and I would say that many Americans here would RESENT your comment about Gunsmoke being "crap". You are a 19 year English person from the other side of the pond.....please grow up. Thank you very kindly.
Gunsmoke was propaganda put out by the elite to justify government. Many times Matt Dillion will say "I didn't kill him, the law did." and this will be just minutes after we see him pull the trigger on his gun and shoot the person. This guy was in total denial using "the law" to justify himself being nothing more than a serial killer.
May you Rest in Peace, Jim., and I will give you the classic Irish toast: Jim, " may you be in Heaven a half-hour before the Devil knew you were dead" By the way, don't forget to go the Oasis Saloon in Dodge and have many drinks with The Duke, Pappy Ford, John Meston, Bernard McEveety, and Jesse Hibbs.
@djf750 James Arnes not a good actor? He was one of the best. That is why his show lasted 20 years. He was believable; he talked and acted like a real person. When he said or did something, you believed it. These actors that people like you believe are good, overact and are not believable. I think you are just a jerk. If you don’t like him, keep it to yourself.
@cowboyborn nothing on that show was realistic (maybe the horses and wagons) it is typical "hollywood reality" Dillon gets in a fight in the street with a guy with a knife, kicks the crap out of him, is not even winded or upset in any way and neither has a mark on them or broken hands from punching.
hollywood nonsense. by the way, kitty and her girls were prostitutes, yet in the show just nice girls who "talked" to the horny cowboys.
Arness was the same character in all his movies and series.
@djf750 You must have not watched a lot of Gun Smoke. I have seen him winded, knocked out, shot, and many other things. The man was 6’ 7” and built like a tank, he can knock most people out quick. I did not watch Gun Smoke for the real world experience. I watched it for the good guy beats bad guy story.
I think it is disrespectful when someone like you, trashes a man who just died, especially in a place paying tribute to him.

How right the Duke was about Jim Arness. Jim will always be Marshall Matt Dillon- just like his younger brother Peter Graves will always be Jim Phelps (Mission: Impossible). RIP and Godspeed, Marshall Dillon (and his alter ego, James Arness).
It seems that Wayne is reading his lines. Lee Marvin in an interview said much of Wayne's iconic movie persona was sculpted by the director John Ford. Nothing wrong with that-both were professionals but it should be a reminder that the iconic images we see in our movie stars are highly calculated and constructed.
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.

@Donald6899 John Wayne stayed in Hollywood and made movies that helped keep our people feeling strong and proud. In fact those times the people needed their morale to be lifted. Just think about it, how many people have died in our war this year? It was not uncommon to lose thousands of men in 1 battle. The people here needed to know that their children and fathers and all others were not fighting in vein and were honorable men. John Wayne's movies and public service helped all Americans.
@Donald6899 There was a good reason for it and if you did your research you would know why instead of just jumping on the bandwagon of false rumors. John Wayne was a Proud American that was bashed for being Pro-War while others were running off to Canada. Remember Freedom doesn't come free ..... and think about it while you are eating your hotdogs and hamburgers outside in you backyard! You want to know why John Wayne didn't fight in the war? Go take the time to find it yourself!
No brag--just fact ...but I see some more gobshite here. Anyway, Duke Wayne never worked with Justin Bieber but he did work with the great Shirley Temple and Johnny Whitaker worked in 3 episodes of Gunsmoke. I got that information from the ONLY honest Gunsmoke Site on the Internet. Holy moley!!
Holy moley !!! there are a lot of gobshites on this Site. Anyway, Duke Wayne did not have a RECIST bone in his body and he considered everyone alike whether they were white, black, yellow, purple, etc, etc. Duke said the people should NOT be judged the the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Duke Wayne was BIG on character.
saw McLintock last night @ 3 am for the first time. Reminded me of my Uncle Mike. ...Now my inner monolouge has John Wayne's Accent. Happy St.Patricks Day EveryOne!
It is a shame that the Duke never worked with Charlie Sheen because I can hear the Duke saying......" Mr Sheen, did anyone ever pull down your britches and tan your hide? " Yes!, the Duke was the greatest western star of them all!
Holy moley STOP!!......Duke Wayne was NOT gay but he knew that Rock Hudson liked to bunt and still Duke offered Rock a major role in....THE ALAMO, however, Rock could not do the role due to personal reasons. Duke had no problems with men who were gay and liked to bunt but that was not for him because he liked to hit the balls into the upper deck fair and his close good friends used to call him....."the BIG STUD". Ben Johnson gave Duke that name.....nuff said.
@bballin002 Without knowing for sure,I think that Wayne was as far from being gay as one can get. I think that he had an extreme fondness for mexican women. He married a few in fact.
Duke Wayne was real good friends with Victor McLaglen and his son Andrew . Andrew directed Duke in several films and Andy directed almost 100 episodes of Gunsmoke. Most of the episodes of Gunsmoke he directed where the "classic" stories written by John Meston and Mr Meston should be put into TELEVISION'S HALL OF FAME.
Duke Wayne had a certain pose in his Westerns which he copied from Michelangelo's DAVID. He also used the pose from Donatello's DAVID and they were WONDERFUL poses for a man doing westerns and only the Duke's close friends,....Richard Boone....Stuart Whitman.....John Smith...and to a lesser degree, Ward Bond, could do those poses. Those 4 actors were giving a tip of the hat to Duke by doing them.
Marion Robert Morrison -- as per birth certificate. But his parents changed his name to Marion Michael Morrison after the birth of his brother in 1911.
Burt Kennedy, who worked with the Duke many times, said that Gunsmoke was the BEST western even done on Television....and Burt thought highly of Wagon Train and Have Gun-Will Travel also. Mr Kennedy was a big fan of John Meston's writing.
A choice epitome of John Wayne in his seasoned prime . . . wotta hunk!
A man you'd trust to lead whatever charge as need in whatever war.
An All American West winnin', deep voiced, slow 'n' plain talkin', modestly self- effacing and half-tied-up Paul Bunyan. In a pause-from-cowboy-duties FDR-fireside-like over the fence chat to all us fellows and gals out there in TV Land.
As 1970s tv's Maude sitcom feminist archliberal heroine said on meeting him on her show, "Shall we dance?"
With all due respect to you I am SHOCKED that you don't know the answer to your question. You can find the answer to that question in about 25 books, articles, etc, written on Mr Wayne. If you REALLY want to know just go to your free public library. Thank ya kindly.
We have all seen Wayne playing the tuff guy image on screen. Why did he not fight during WW2? Did he have flat feet, disabled or blind? James Stewart fought during the war. I just wondered why Wayne (the tuff guy) didn't. No offence intended, I'm sure I will be told the answer.
In one of his greats scripts, John Meston wrote the following line:....."Hey douchebag , death ends a life, not a relationship". C.B.S. couldn't use the line because certain eejits would not know what that line meant.
Anyway, we should try to get John Meston inducted into the TELEVISION HALL OF FAME.
@JuanMacready R u kidding? James Arness's acting was (categorically) masterwork understatement. It was PURRfect . . . realistic, naturalistic, wholly believable (as a slice of life) yet fantastic. He spoke minimally, softly, and carried a big --. No nonsense. However, in this opener the (near groundlevel) camera angles hyperbolically melodramatize this scene, and mythically giantize (and risquely eroticize*) the marshal, 6'7" as is.
The Tory cunt JuanMacready has been banned from YouTube but keep an eye out for the autistic asshole. He'll be back soon with a new alias!! You can't miss the cunt!! He just does a continual
re-run of the same old shithead comments!!! We'll just have the boring little fucker banned again!!!! LOL I hear Prince william wants Juanmacready and his asshole dad to clean up the horseshit after the royal carriage. Just the job for the two dirty bastards!! LOL
I don't give a shag about seeing a guys butt up close because I don't walk on that side of the street ...but I've seen every Gunsmoke episode ever made and that is why reasonable people should insist that John Meston must be inducted into Televisions Hall of Fame
Not many people know that the Duke's good friend, Ronald Reagan, was on the schedule to do an hour long episode of Gunsmoke but he had to bow out at the last minute. The episode was NOT written by John Meston who should be inducted into Television's Hall of Fame.
I do also....but if it was not for John Meston creating Gunsmoke then James Arness would have to play the same type of roles that Chuck Roberson did in McLintock. Chuck played Sheriff Lord .....and John Meston should be inducted into Television Hall of Fame.
Thank ya kindly fred30680 for posting Duke Wayne's intro to Gunsmoke.....Charles Marquis Warren was a friend of Mr Wayne and he asked Duke to tape that spot and Duke was very loyal to his friends. If Charles Marquis Warren and Norman Macdonnell were around today they would make sure that John Meston would be put into Televisions Hall of Fame. .....thanks again.
Gunsmoke was the BEST T.V. Western of all time .....most of the "classic" episodes between 1955-1964 were written by John Meston who was a WONDERFUL writer. Mr Meston belongs in Televisions Hall of Fame.
Nothing quite like a good western. Just when I had started to think they don't make 'em like they used to I saw Good for Nothing, a film shot in New Zealand a la spaghetti western style that does all the classics justice while being completely unique at the same time.

Holy moley STOP!!......Duke Wayne was NOT gay but he knew that Rock Hudson liked to bunt and still Duke offered Rock a major role in....THE ALAMO, however, Rock could not do the role due to personal reasons. Duke had no problems with men who were gay and liked to bunt but that was not for him because he liked to hit the balls into the upper deck fair and his close good friends used to call him....."the BIG STUD". Ben Johnson gave Duke that name.....nuff said.

@bballin002 Without knowing for sure,I think that Wayne was as far from being gay as one can get. I think that he had an extreme fondness for mexican women. He married a few in fact.

Duke Wayne was real good friends with Victor McLaglen and his son Andrew . Andrew directed Duke in several films and Andy directed almost 100 episodes of Gunsmoke. Most of the episodes of Gunsmoke he directed where the "classic" stories written by John Meston and Mr Meston should be put into TELEVISION'S HALL OF FAME.

I am sorry to say that with the advent of the Web, posts, etc, Gunsmoke has no been treated well and that is a SHAME.

Duke Wayne had a certain pose in his Westerns which he copied from Michelangelo's DAVID. He also used the pose from Donatello's DAVID and they were WONDERFUL poses for a man doing westerns and only the Duke's close friends,....Richard Boone....Stuart Whitman.....John Smith...and to a lesser degree, Ward Bond, could do those poses. Those 4 actors were giving a tip of the hat to Duke by doing them.

He was sure right about that, 20 years of Gunsmoke and more movies! Gunsmoke outlived James youth, he got too old to do anymore of them, lol!

Duke Wayne loved and respected the GREAT John Ford that he made Mr Ford the Godfather of all his children.

Marion Robert Morrison -- as per birth certificate. But his parents changed his name to Marion Michael Morrison after the birth of his brother in 1911.

Burt Kennedy, who worked with the Duke many times, said that Gunsmoke was the BEST western even done on Television....and Burt thought highly of Wagon Train and Have Gun-Will Travel also. Mr Kennedy was a big fan of John Meston's writing.

A choice epitome of John Wayne in his seasoned prime . . . wotta hunk!
A man you'd trust to lead whatever charge as need in whatever war.
An All American West winnin', deep voiced, slow 'n' plain talkin', modestly self- effacing and half-tied-up Paul Bunyan. In a pause-from-cowboy-duties FDR-fireside-like over the fence chat to all us fellows and gals out there in TV Land.
As 1970s tv's Maude sitcom feminist archliberal heroine said on meeting him on her show, "Shall we dance?"

With all due respect to you I am SHOCKED that you don't know the answer to your question. You can find the answer to that question in about 25 books, articles, etc, written on Mr Wayne. If you REALLY want to know just go to your free public library. Thank ya kindly.

We have all seen Wayne playing the tuff guy image on screen. Why did he not fight during WW2? Did he have flat feet, disabled or blind? James Stewart fought during the war. I just wondered why Wayne (the tuff guy) didn't. No offence intended, I'm sure I will be told the answer.

In one of his greats scripts, John Meston wrote the following line:....."Hey douchebag , death ends a life, not a relationship". C.B.S. couldn't use the line because certain eejits would not know what that line meant.
Anyway, we should try to get John Meston inducted into the TELEVISION HALL OF FAME.

@uofjim There were fewer channels then. I hope the talentless overacting prick James Aerness dies next year.
JuanMacready 1 year ago
@JuanMacready R u kidding? James Arness's acting was (categorically) masterwork understatement. It was PURRfect . . . realistic, naturalistic, wholly believable (as a slice of life) yet fantastic. He spoke minimally, softly, and carried a big --. No nonsense. However, in this opener the (near groundlevel) camera angles hyperbolically melodramatize this scene, and mythically giantize (and risquely eroticize*) the marshal, 6'7" as is.
*As in the opener to Have Gun Will Travel.

Not many people know that the Duke's good friend, Ronald Reagan, was on the schedule to do an hour long episode of Gunsmoke but he had to bow out at the last minute. The episode was NOT written by John Meston who should be inducted into Television's Hall of Fame.

I do also....but if it was not for John Meston creating Gunsmoke then James Arness would have to play the same type of roles that Chuck Roberson did in McLintock. Chuck played Sheriff Lord .....and John Meston should be inducted into Television Hall of Fame.

Thank ya kindly fred30680 for posting Duke Wayne's intro to Gunsmoke.....Charles Marquis Warren was a friend of Mr Wayne and he asked Duke to tape that spot and Duke was very loyal to his friends. If Charles Marquis Warren and Norman Macdonnell were around today they would make sure that John Meston would be put into Televisions Hall of Fame. .....thanks again.
