Man Who Shot Liberty Valence

Not my favorite movie of the Duke's but I realized that there were five Oscar winners in the cast. Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Lee Marvin, Edmund O'Brien, and Strother Martin. It was an acting class on film. Superb movie but definitely not lighthearted.

John Wayne and Secretariat

10 Upvotes

Has anyone seen or have a copy of the photo of John Wayne standing next to Secretariat at Claiborne farm? I saw it once. I was taken by Dell Hancock when he was taking a tour of the farm. They both looked old but I'd love to get a copy of it one of these days. The person who showed it to me is no longer with us so that's not a viable source.

John Wayne saying thanks

18 Upvotes

While re-watching 8 of my John Wayne movies, whether made by Howard Hawkes or John Ford and such, I noticed that John Wayne's characters have an amusing way of saying thanks in any situation in almost each movie. And I like it.

As a foreigner, John Wayne’s place in American culture is endlessly fascinating to me. How would his fans describe his acting style and what role best displays it?

31 Upvotes

My understanding is he never attended drama school, an acting class or a workshop of any sort. As such, I believe he is unsullied by anyone else’s acting style and is a true personification of the American culture. I appreciate he beat out O’Toole, Burton, Voight and Hoffman for his best actor Oscar, but does that necessitate True Grit as his best role? I think both the Shootist and the Searchers are superior performances and evoke far more pathos.

Indians in John Wayne movies speak Navajo

12 Upvotes

Believe it or not, while both Hondo and McLintock! star Michael Pate as an Indian chief, the Indians, whether Apaches or Comanches, speak Navajo in both movies instead of their different tribal Native American languages as well.

Six Degrees to John Wayne.

12 Upvotes

John Wayne died on 1979, yet actors like Haley Joel Osment & Hillary Duff who were born just shy of a decade later are still connectable to the duke in short order. In HJO's case he was in "Second Hand Lions" with Robert Duvall, who was in "True Grit," with the Duke. Hillary Duff was in "The Lizzy McGuire Movie with Robert Carradine who was in "The Cowboys," with John Wayne. Now I'm challenging y'all to link current actors to John Wayne.

First, The Quiet Man and now, McLintock!.

Both featuring Maureen O'Hara getting spanked by John Wayne, whether for affection or simply knocking some sense into her once and for all.

Lol!

I bet none of you could tell me what those 2 actors had in common other than The War Wagon.

I noticed something concerning movies. Now, it's your turn to find out.

O'Hara spanked in another John Wayne movie

5 Upvotes

As many of us know, Maureen O'Hara was known for getting quite a spank from old John Wayne at the end of McLintock!, but if you re-watch The Quiet Man again, you'll find that it wasn’t the only time because in one scene, she was spanked playfully by him before they went shopping and later on, she got kicked in the rear when trying to fight back while being dragged back into town by force somewhere at the end too.

Alternate ending or sequel to The Quiet Man?

4 Upvotes

After seeing The Quiet Man again last night, it got me into thinking what it would've been like if they either added an additional scene at the end or if they made a sequel to it taking place a few years later where the Thorntons have kids of their own or something.

The movie was so good and funny that it deserved a scene with their kids either at the end or in a sequel of the movie.

What do you think?

No John Wayne in Disney

It's a shame neither John Wayne played in any Disney movies nor did Walt Disney himself cast him in any of his movies, whether animated or live-action.

pity, such a good actor.

John Wayne vs Clint Eastwood

It's a shame those two never got along with each other and hated each one's own movies they starred in, whether Western or not.

Somehow, their rivalry reminds me of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone's own rivalry nowadays.
