John Wayne in The Searchers....one of my favorites.

I always watch the opening shot and compare it to the closing shot in that movie. Right up there with the best of the best in camera work.

I think she would like it; maybe if you show her a trailer...it's a very unconventional John Wayne movie, and he is surrounded with a superb cast...and to hear Maureen O'Hara tell it, she and John had an uncanny rapport that was formed during the first scene.

Here is the thing, (That sure is a strange phrase now that I typed it), wifey HAS watched The Quiet Man! It is a great movie!

I think wifey just does not like Mr. Wayne. :shocked::confused3::thumbdown:

I remember where I was when I heard John Wayne had died. I kept the newspaper, and years after his death, I found the newspaper in a box. I suspect, that box is around. Somewhere. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

McClintock! Maybe John Wayne's only comedy? Co-stars Maureen O'Hara & Yvonne de Carlo.

Yep. Two remakes...

Remakes[edit]
Howard Hawks went on to make two loose variations of Rio Bravo, on both occasions under a different title. Both of these remakes were directed by Hawks, both starred John Wayne, and in each case, the script was written by Leigh Brackett. All involve lawmen working against an entrenched criminal element, partially by "holing up" in their jailhouses.

The first remake, El Dorado, was filmed in 1966, but it was not released in the United States (by Paramount) until the summer of 1967. In this film, Robert Mitchum played the Dean Martin role, Arthur Hunnicutt the Walter Brennan character, and James Caan the Ricky Nelson role. Hawks again named the Nelson/Caan character after a state (in this case, Mississippi) and in a wry, humorous twist on the original film, Hawks made him inept with firearms, but skilled with a knife.

The second remake, Rio Lobo, was made in 1970 with a plot much further off the original mold, starting with the absence of a lawman-turned-drunkard character. This began with a Confederate train robbery of a Union gold shipment during the American Civil War, then moved to a postwar Texas county thoroughly controlled by a rich, arrogant rancher. The heroes, with the exception of an old man similar to Brennan and Hunnicutt's characters in the previous pictures (Jack Elam here), were complete outsiders. Along with Wayne and Elam, this movie starred Mexican film star Jorge Rivero (as Frenchie), Christopher Mitchum (Robert Mitchum's son), and Jennifer O'Neill.
