Beautiful reaction to John Wayne's final film. The fact that he died of cancer a few years later makes this movie more significant. I highly recommend his 1972 film The Cowboys. It's really good. Thanks again for a great reaction.
@@JadeJoobMoviesespecially since he had already survived cancer once before, so he had experienced that. And he was also experiencing the end of the western movie era, and his movie career, just as Books was experiencing the end of the American western era, and his shootist career. The movie was as much a fitting send-off and tribute for the life and career of John Wayne as it was for J.B. Books.
The Duke really went out on top. I think when he ponies up to the bar for his birthday drink, that is actually John Wayne in his full splendor, not JB Books we see. Also, this film is well written, well shot, well edited and well acted by all involved.
@@thomast8539 Go to a Word on Westerns on TH-cam. The final gunfight was a very tense scene to film, because John Wayne was sick with a bad flu, plus an ear infection, and they weren't sure if he'd even survive to finish the film, and Wayne was very ticked off with Don Siegel during the filming. It was a rough shoot, and allegedly, the producers paid off a doctor in order to get him cleared for filming.
Such a stacked cast in this. John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Lauren Bacall, John Carradine, Hugh O'Brian, Scatman Crothers, Harry Morgan, Richard Boone and on and on. Also, nobody would have guessed watching Gillom Rogers that Ron Howard would go on to direct and produce so many huge films.
Lauren Bacall, whose voice you love, got her first big break in movies costarring with Humphrey Bogart in To Have and Have Not (1944) , another good movie. They ended up getting married. She was considered one of the most beautiful actresses of her time.
This is so bittersweet. The reunion of Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne , while brief, was great. Lauren Becall married to Humphrey Bogart, who also died of Cancer. ...so many things in this movie was a tribute to the Wayne Western.
My dad died of cancer and as I'm writing this, I'm crying 😢. We were very close me and my dad. 15 years ago and still hurting over it. Died in my arms in hospice. Love ya dad.❤
I’m so sorry for your loss. And yet at the same time I’m at least slightly jealous. I’ve lived overseas for 21 years now and wasn’t able to get home in time to be with either of my parents when they passed away. But I was lucky enough to be able to talk with my mother on the phone a few hours before, and for that I’m grateful. Now I’m crying too. I hope we both find something to smile over today.😉
actually he was 72 in 1979 when he died , a few mnths after giving out the best pic oscar at the Academy awards. Theresa clip on youtube where you see how gaunt he is and his cancer spread
Actually the movie The Conqueror was filmed outside St George Utah. Which was about 140 miles downwind of a National Security Site in Nevada. Up to 2 years previous to filming this movie, it had been used for nuclear testing by the US government. The government had told them there was nothing to worry about. They had chosen this site to film The the movie because of the red soil in mountains that was reminiscent of Mongolia. With the crew got to the town, they noticed that there was a large amount of child leukemia in other ailments among the population of the people and the sheep and the other farm animals. To make matters worse when they were done shooting on location, they had packed up how about 60 t of this red soil add shipped it to the studio in Hollywood so they can finish filming some of the scenes inside the studio. The film wound up being a bad film that is very forgettable and not worth watching. But, it has become a legend because of the high amount of cancer victims among the actors and crew.
I don’t know why, there was something so emotional about that young lady on the trolley so jubilantly saying “Isn’t it a beautiful day today?” and then right before he exits the trolley, Wayne tells her “I hope the right one comes along.” He can totally sense that she is a true sweetheart by her kindness and optimism, and wants the best for her. I also think it was emotional that Wayne’s character was so positive on his last day and perhaps that encouraged others, even though they didn’t know he was dying. Such a profound and beautiful movie.
My father was such a John Wayne fan that he named me John Wayne Duval. I in turn became a big, big fan of the duke also. I actually saw this movie with my Dad the weekend it opened and I have loved this movie since. I always felt so bad when I heard he had cancer for real while filming this movie, now at 60 I find out I have stage 4 cancer in the same place as he did, so this movie reaction really hit me this evening. Thank you for showing it the respect it deserves with a perfect reaction.
It was a sad 😭 day when The Duke died. He was a huge part of my life. Ron Howard is the kid in this movie 🎥 . Now he's one of the best directors we have. Apollo 13 and other great movies.
Dukes last film, have seen this so many times, I can quote every line, great story, great, great film, with a great cast! Thank you for reacting to this one, your awesome! Glad you enjoyed it as well, oohhh, really like the hat!! Dukes speech at the breakfast table when he and Bond have the argument over his soul, I absolutely love his speech and insight of one's own death, and his creedo of what he told Gillam, I actually try to live by that, I hope to see more of your reactions, take care
As I'm sure you've heard by now in the comments, Jade, John Wayne was actually dying of cancer when he made this film, his final movie. I lost my mother and father to cancer so "The shootist" always hits me hard and dredges up deep emotions. I'm so sorry to hear about your maternal grandmother's battle with cancer - God bless her and keep her!
It is something that hits so close to home with almost every human! Cancer is horrible and I yearn for the day it is no longer an untreatable death sentence! I’m so sorry about your parents as well! Thank you for the kind words ❤
@@JadeJoobMovies I am very pleased to see that you will be visiting your grandmother on her birthday, Jade; it's important for you to spend as much quality time with her as possible while you still can. I will keep her in my prayers - God bless you both!
17:06 - I'm pretty sure that guy played in "Big Jake" with John Wayne. And I think he was the star of the old western show, "Have Gun, Will Travel". I've been listening to the old radio drama version of that show. Radio dramas are my favorite newish discovery. I watch and listen to a ton of podcasts and streams, but I somehow didn't know about a lot of the great radio dramas that exist.
You're right on all counts. Richard Boone, Paladin in "Have Gun, Will Travel" on TV in the 50s and then notable for many bad guy roles including Big Jake (as you noted), Grimes in the Paul Newman film, "Hombre," and Frank Usher in "The Tall T" a Randolph Scott western. He also played Hec Ramsey on TV in the early 70s.
A couple of things that you are likely not aware of. The woman who owns the boarding house is played by Lauren Bacall, the widow of the great actor Humphrey Bogart. Her characters name Bond is in memory of John Wayne’s best friend in life the actor Ward Bond.
"Old man" John Wayne movies are among my favorite John Wayne movies, so I recommend "The Cowboys" and "Big Jake." While I'm at it, I'll also recommend "Fort Apache" because it's a "top 10" John Ford favorite of mine even though John Wayne isn't old in that movie and is more a (prominent) member of a great ensemble cast rather than the star per se.
I second that. Especially "Big Jake" as it bring on another showdown between John Wayne and Richard Boone. It also has two offspring of iconic actors playing Wayne's on screen sons: Patrick Wayne (Wayne's real life son) and Christopher Mitchum (the son of Robert Mitchum). Great movie loaded with great Hollywood stars.
@@Pokyhawk Loved it when their characters meet for the first time, and John Wayne says "I hope that boy don't catch a cold. That would cause me great annoyance and displeasure." and Richard Boone replies "Mister, that just scares the hell out of me...the thought that you might be annoyed." Really made you even more eager to see them finally go at it.
I'm so happy that you're doing "the shootist" movie!!! You're the first person I've seen do this movie. John Wayne was one of my all time favorite actors and one I've looked up to. I was only 11 when he passed away but still remember it. Was so sad. I don't know if you recognize the "boy" in this movie.... it's Ron Howard who was in Andy Griffith and directed many movies over the years. Even his daughter has been in Jurassic World movies....
The young blonde girl on the street car is Melody Thomas Scott. She also has a long list of credits. She is currently on the afternoon soap series, The Young and the Restless.
Jade, That lady that you like a lot is Lauren Bacall. She was huge back in the 1940's and became the wife of Humphrey Bogart. They did several movies together that you might want to check out: Let's see....Dark Passage, To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep and Key Largo.
The Quiet Man, The Searchers are a few of my favorite Wayne films, this was iconic as his last and one of only 2 movies he died in :/ Thank you @MovieJoob for seeing out the classics and showing them for your younger subs and fans to see the classic iconic films both black and white and color. Your reactions always have a great discussion and you get all the emotional moments too.
John Wayne's last theatrical movie release and I was there. I was in my mid-twenties and am now 71. The "Duke" was 71 when he filmed this classic, and it gives one some pause to how much time has passed.
I'm happy to finally see someone react to one of my favorite John Wayne movies. It hits hard that the movie was a parallel of John's own impending end by cancer. Ron Howard's slow walk down the street at the end always makes me misty.
@MovieJoob, my late Grandpa, who died of colon cancer in 2017, was a huge fan of this film, so it is a tough watch for me because we were so close with each other, but I'm glad to see a reaction to it. John Wayne's swansong performance DESERVEDan Oscar for best actor in y opinion.
I love John Wayne in this movie; especially the part where he sticks his gun in the reporters mouth and tells him Mrs Rogers is gonna be scrubbing his brains off the wallpaper. 😆😆
I would also add that the young man playing Gillom did an adequate job. His name is Ron Howard - the go-to child actor in the 60's and 70's who later produced and/or directed a couple of movies that did okay at the box office which you might have heard of. "Apollo 13" was one of them.
The cast in this movie is amazing! John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Lauren Bacall, Ron Howard, Harry Morgan as the town marshal, Scatman Crothers as Moses, John Carradine as the undertaker, and Richard Boone as Sweeney, all legends. Wayne, Stewart, and Carradine all appeared in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Wayne and Boone appeared in Big Jake, which also featured Wayne's real life son, Patrick, playing Wayne's character's son. One of Richard Boone's best known roles was the lead character in a TV Western series Have Gun - Will Travel. Ron Howard got his start as a child actor in the sit com The Andy Griffith Show, playing Andy's son, Opie. He was in another big TV sit com Happy Days, playing Ritchie Cunningham. He was also cast in the movie American Graffiti as Steve. Lauren Bacall is as big a legend as Stewart and Wayne, first appearing with Humphrey Bogart in To Have and Have Not. Bacall and Bogart fell in love while making this and later married. This was Bacall's first movie, and would end up making 3 other movies with Bogart, The Big Sleep, Dark Passage, and Key Largo. Bacall first appeared with Wayne in the movie Blood Alley. John Carradine first appeared with Wayne in Wayne's first starring role in the movie Stagecoach. Carradine is another legend of Hollywood, along with the Carradine family. His son, Robert, also appeared in a movie with Wayne, called The Cowboys. Harry Morgan was a legendary character actor, who was best known for his roles of Detective Bill Gannon in the TV crime drama series Dragnet and as Col. Sherman Potter in the sit com M*A*S*H. He also appeared with Wayne in the Western, How The West Was Won, and with Stewart in Stategic Air Command. Two Western comedies he appeared in were Support Your Local Sherrif and Support your Local Gunfighter. Scatman Crothers was an epic character actor, musician, and voice actor.
A great reaction, MJ. It's very gratifying to find young people who can appreciate movies from way back. After watching John Wayne's last movie, you might want to flip back and watch the first film when The Duke broke through as a major star - STAGECOACH from 1939, directed by the great John Ford. Even after 85 years it's still one of the best westerns/movies ever made IMHO. For a Wayne movie that's a lot of fun try RIO BRAVO from 1959.
There are many good trivia bits about The Shootist, well worth looking up. It's a shame it didn't do well in the theaters and the critics, mostly, didn't like it. I always see this movie as a heartfelt Thank You to John Wayne for his lifetime of entertainment. Thank you for spending the time with us and one of our favorite film legends in his last movie.
“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, and I require the same from them.” ― John Wayne "The Shootist" This was John Wayne's last movie and one of the first to deal with cancer. Next, "The Cowboys" 1972.
Greatest swan song for an actor in film history. Lauren Bacall as Mrs. Rogers is so effective I think because she's reliving her own experience watching her husband Humphrey Bogart dying of cancer.
Excellent reaction, as always!👏 May I offer some suggestions? 1. Since you liked Lauren Bacall so much, take a look at To Have and Have Not, from1944, when she was 30 years younger. She's quite captivating, even sings a song, and the movie is great. 2. Give yourself a treat and watch more of John Wayne's best films, especially those directed by John Ford, such as Stagecoach (1939) or They Were Expendable (1945) or The Searchers (1956). You can't go wrong with any of those!
You have a good eye Joob, Lauren Bacall was a huge star back in the day and was considered one of the most beautiful women in the world,she was married to Humphrey Bogart, another huge star in the 30's & 40's. Loving the western trip your on and loving the reactions 😘
Grand and satisfying that you took a shine to Lauren Bacall and her beauty and stateliness. It is highly recommended that you look into her films with Humphrey Bogart to experience more of her manner. This film may mark The End of an Era but not the End of a Legend and ... A Legendary Career. Great Reaction. :)
The film has an excellent and famous cast; most of them have had numerous appearances in Westerns. Mrs. Rogers is played by Lauren Bacall, aka Mrs. Humphrey Bogart, and is well-known for her voice.
Gillem Rogers is played by Ron Howard - a well regarded Oscar winning director in his later life of “Splash,” “Apollo 13,” “A Beautiful Mind,” “Coccoon,” etc. Such a great cast throughout.
"Blood Alley" is a good John Wayne and Lauren Becall film too. Their first movie together I think. That first bad guy Wayne shot was a good actor playing a villain in many John Wayne films and talked about how Wayne called him to be in this film and gave a background about doing this last bad guy role with Wayne. Great reaction!
Both of my parents went at the time of their choosing. Mom was 23 years ago, from ALS, and Dad about 6 years ago, from tongue cancer. They both chose the palliative care route. One thing i liked about this movie was how they incorporated scenes from Wayne's early movies in the telling of his life. Wayne was actually dying from cancer at the time.
The John Wayne movie in which John Wayne did his best John Wayne impression: "Big Jake" Which scene? All of them. Added bonus: Maureen O'Hara as the family Matriarch
Ironically, he spent the last twenty years of his life with only one lung. He had one with cancer and had it cut out. He still managed to do some very hard roles with only one lung, including the masterpiece movie, The Green Berets!! Special Forces unit in Vietnam!!
Gillam gets away with gunning down the bartender with Books gun, because everyone assumes Books shot him as he was dying. there were no witnesses inside. Maybe Doc guesses but stays quiet.
Lauren Bacall plays the part of Mrs. Bond Rogers. She was iconic in Hollywood in her own right. Her first role was opposite her future husband Humphrey Bogart in "To Have and Have Not" in 1944. I think all of Hollywood knew this would be the Dukes last film because most of the supporting cast were Hollywood icons themselves. In fact Gillom Rogers is Ron Howard who was famous as a child on "The Andy Griffith Show" (1960-1968) and is still on the "A" list as one of the best directors in the business.
My Sincere Well Wishes that Your Grandmother gets better. My Prayers are with your Grandmother.. May the Grace of God Protect You and Your Loved One's...
"The Cowboys" (1972) "The Outlaw Josey Wales" (1976) "Pale Rider" (1985) "Hell or High Water" (2016) "The Professionals" (1967) "Maverick" (1994) "Quigley Down Under" (1990)
The woman you love is Lauren Bacall, she has many movies to her credit like from 1944 with Humphrey Bogart the Big Sleep and again with Bogart in To Have and Have Not. How to Marry a Millionaire and 2012 The Forger.
The brown haired shooter guy was also an old western star, last movie I saw him in was Mel Gibson movie, Maverick. He put a bunch of old western stars in it, including his partner from Lethal Weapon!😮😮😮
A great movie and great reaction. John Wayne made some terrific westerns, for sure, as many have mentioned. One of my favorites is The Searchers. Another great western. When you get the time, if you'd care to, give The Searchers a try. For now, thanks so much for allowing us to watch with you, and God bless you and yours.
This sadly was the last movie The Duke made. A true legend. The world was a different place when he died 3 yrs after this movie. His last appearance at the Academy Awards broke my heart, he was a shadow of the big bear of a man he was. There will never be an icon like him again, sadly.
This is a pretty prestigious cast in case you didn't realize. John Wayne, silver screen icons Lauren Bacall and James Stewart, Hugh O'Brien from "The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp," Richard Boone from "Have Gun - Will Travel," Harry Morgan from "Dragnet" and M.A.S.H.," beloved character actor and singer/musician Scatman Crothers, horror movie star John Carradine, actor and director Ron Howard, Melody Thomas Scott from "The Young and the Restless."
Harry Morgan was in a lot of famous Westerns too. High Noon, Support You Local Sheriff, Bend of the River w/ Jimmy Stewart, The Far Country w/ Stewart, The Ox-Bow Incident, How the West was Won etc. etc.

Beautiful reaction to John Wayne's final film. The fact that he died of cancer a few years later makes this movie more significant. I highly recommend his 1972 film The Cowboys. It's really good. Thanks again for a great reaction.
@@jamesharper3933It makes it so much more poignant than it already was!! 😢
@@JadeJoobMoviesespecially since he had already survived cancer once before, so he had experienced that. And he was also experiencing the end of the western movie era, and his movie career, just as Books was experiencing the end of the American western era, and his shootist career. The movie was as much a fitting send-off and tribute for the life and career of John Wayne as it was for J.B. Books.
Well Miss Joob.
Lauren Bacall the day she died 89 newspapers wrotevin a Bygone Hollywood, She Purred Every Word..
It sounds silly of me, but I love how much you liked Lauren Bacall. That woman was a legend, and good to see that she can still make an impression.
She could’ve slapped me in the face and I’d thank her honestly. She is iconic. 😍
@@JadeJoobMovies Watch her films with Bogart. 'Key Largo' with Bogart, Bacall and Edward G. Robinson is fabulous
@@MisterMasterShafter1 Key Largo is a favorite of mine. But when speaking of great actresses with Bogey, there's The African Queen
Finally....somebody reacts to one of John Wayne's best movies. Thank you.
Not one of, it is his best movie
The Duke really went out on top. I think when he ponies up to the bar for his birthday drink, that is actually John Wayne in his full splendor, not JB Books we see. Also, this film is well written, well shot, well edited and well acted by all involved.

Went thru that 47 years ago. Pain dulled with time, but the ache is still there for what I saw him suffer.
This was John Wayne's final film as an actor as he was diagnosed with cancer and died in 1979 at 80.
John Wayne received his 1st Cancer Diagnosis for Lung Cancer in 1964.

The Shootist is one of my favorite Westerns. It has so many actors from TV and movies too. Great Pic, Joob!
The mortition is John Caradin . Another legendary star .
Was he the speaker at the end of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance?
Carradine. Prolific actor.
Father to well known actors David, Keith & Robert. The latter was in *The Cowboys* (1972) with John Wayne.
The young blonde girl on the street car is Melody Thomas Scott. She also has a long list of credits. She is currently on the afternoon soap series, The Young and the Restless.
A western set in modern times that I really enjoyed was Hell or High Water. Might be a good change of pace from the classic spaghetti westerns 😊
Thank you so much for this great suggestion! 🙌

The Quiet Man, The Searchers are a few of my favorite Wayne films, this was iconic as his last and one of only 2 movies he died in :/ Thank you @MovieJoob for seeing out the classics and showing them for your younger subs and fans to see the classic iconic films both black and white and color. Your reactions always have a great discussion and you get all the emotional moments too.
your reaction was great, but YOUR DISCUSSION and THOUGHTS were BEAUTIFUL! thank you 👍☺
Thank you for doing this movie. I think it is John Wayne's best movie even though he got an Oscar for True Grit.
John Wayne's last theatrical movie release and I was there. I was in my mid-twenties and am now 71. The "Duke" was 71 when he filmed this classic, and it gives one some pause to how much time has passed.
I'm happy to finally see someone react to one of my favorite John Wayne movies. It hits hard that the movie was a parallel of John's own impending end by cancer. Ron Howard's slow walk down the street at the end always makes me misty.
Fantastic. I am so pleased to see Jade watch this film. Always enamored with her reactions. Thank you.
@MovieJoob, my late Grandpa, who died of colon cancer in 2017, was a huge fan of this film, so it is a tough watch for me because we were so close with each other, but I'm glad to see a reaction to it. John Wayne's swansong performance DESERVEDan Oscar for best actor in y opinion.
Trust in the Lord God above with all thine heart ❤️. We've all got it coming 😢❤❤❤.
“The Quiet Man” and/or “Big Jake”, please!🍸
I Second Both of those...... and Will Raise, "McClintock" and "Blood Alley".......
@@CoastalNomad I fold.😆
@@richardbalducci4490 🤣🤣🤪🤣🤣
Big Jake is a good one for sure, but the Quiet Man🤢🤮
...In Harm's Way....
I love John Wayne in this movie; especially the part where he sticks his gun in the reporters mouth and tells him Mrs Rogers is gonna be scrubbing his brains off the wallpaper. 😆😆
John Wayne was on the Johnny Carson Show the night before the first day of filming. It is here on TH-cam. What a man he was.
Terrific reaction video. Impeccable editing job btw. ❤️
Ron Howard started on the sitcom The Andy Griffith Show, Happy Days and one of many movies, American Graffiti.
Thanks for the reaction, thoughtful and tasteful as always. Hope you do more John Wayne films, he always had a way of dominating a scene.
The actress playing Mrs. Rogers is Lauren Bacall, a legendary Hollywood star.
This movie and Pale Rider our two of the best Westerns ever made.
I would also add that the young man playing Gillom did an adequate job. His name is Ron Howard - the go-to child actor in the 60's and 70's who later produced and/or directed a couple of movies that did okay at the box office which you might have heard of. "Apollo 13" was one of them.
The cast in this movie is amazing! John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Lauren Bacall, Ron Howard, Harry Morgan as the town marshal, Scatman Crothers as Moses, John Carradine as the undertaker, and Richard Boone as Sweeney, all legends. Wayne, Stewart, and Carradine all appeared in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Wayne and Boone appeared in Big Jake, which also featured Wayne's real life son, Patrick, playing Wayne's character's son. One of Richard Boone's best known roles was the lead character in a TV Western series Have Gun - Will Travel. Ron Howard got his start as a child actor in the sit com The Andy Griffith Show, playing Andy's son, Opie. He was in another big TV sit com Happy Days, playing Ritchie Cunningham. He was also cast in the movie American Graffiti as Steve. Lauren Bacall is as big a legend as Stewart and Wayne, first appearing with Humphrey Bogart in To Have and Have Not. Bacall and Bogart fell in love while making this and later married. This was Bacall's first movie, and would end up making 3 other movies with Bogart, The Big Sleep, Dark Passage, and Key Largo. Bacall first appeared with Wayne in the movie Blood Alley. John Carradine first appeared with Wayne in Wayne's first starring role in the movie Stagecoach. Carradine is another legend of Hollywood, along with the Carradine family. His son, Robert, also appeared in a movie with Wayne, called The Cowboys. Harry Morgan was a legendary character actor, who was best known for his roles of Detective Bill Gannon in the TV crime drama series Dragnet and as Col. Sherman Potter in the sit com M*A*S*H. He also appeared with Wayne in the Western, How The West Was Won, and with Stewart in Stategic Air Command. Two Western comedies he appeared in were Support Your Local Sherrif and Support your Local Gunfighter. Scatman Crothers was an epic character actor, musician, and voice actor.
The Duke's final film - he died of cancer three years later just as Books would've. He went out on a high note
Mrs. Rogers was played by Lauren Bacall, one of the greatest actresses of Hollywood's Golden Age.
A great reaction, MJ. It's very gratifying to find young people who can appreciate movies from way back. After watching John Wayne's last movie, you might want to flip back and watch the first film when The Duke broke through as a major star - STAGECOACH from 1939, directed by the great John Ford. Even after 85 years it's still one of the best westerns/movies ever made IMHO. For a Wayne movie that's a lot of fun try RIO BRAVO from 1959.
There are many good trivia bits about The Shootist, well worth looking up. It's a shame it didn't do well in the theaters and the critics, mostly, didn't like it. I always see this movie as a heartfelt Thank You to John Wayne for his lifetime of entertainment. Thank you for spending the time with us and one of our favorite film legends in his last movie.
This is my favorite John Wayne movie even though it was his last. RIP Duke.
“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, and I require the same from them.”
― John Wayne "The Shootist"
This was John Wayne's last movie and one of the first to deal with cancer.
Next, "The Cowboys" 1972.
Greatest swan song for an actor in film history. Lauren Bacall as Mrs. Rogers is so effective I think because she's reliving her own experience watching her husband Humphrey Bogart dying of cancer.
Jimmy Stewart is a Hollywood legend himself. He himself also has a long list of great movies.
Excellent reaction, as always!👏 May I offer some suggestions? 1. Since you liked Lauren Bacall so much, take a look at To Have and Have Not, from1944, when she was 30 years younger. She's quite captivating, even sings a song, and the movie is great. 2. Give yourself a treat and watch more of John Wayne's best films, especially those directed by John Ford, such as Stagecoach (1939) or They Were Expendable (1945) or The Searchers (1956). You can't go wrong with any of those!
The young man is Ron Howard of Happy days fame.. Now one of Hollywood's great directors
Thanks for the revisit on this classic. Very nice watching it w you
You have a good eye Joob, Lauren Bacall was a huge star back in the day and was considered one of the most beautiful women in the world,she was married to Humphrey Bogart, another huge star in the 30's & 40's. Loving the western trip your on and loving the reactions 😘
Grand and satisfying that you took a shine to Lauren Bacall and her beauty and stateliness. It is highly recommended that you look into her films with Humphrey Bogart to experience more of her manner. This film may mark The End of an Era but not the End of a Legend and ... A Legendary Career. Great Reaction. :)
The Man Who Killed Liberty Vance is another excellent John Wayne movie that costars Jimmy Stewart!
The film has an excellent and famous cast; most of them have had numerous appearances in Westerns. Mrs. Rogers is played by Lauren Bacall, aka Mrs. Humphrey Bogart, and is well-known for her voice.
Gillem Rogers is played by Ron Howard - a well regarded Oscar winning director in his later life of “Splash,” “Apollo 13,” “A Beautiful Mind,” “Coccoon,” etc.
Such a great cast throughout.
"Blood Alley" is a good John Wayne and Lauren Becall film too. Their first movie together I think. That first bad guy Wayne shot was a good actor playing a villain in many John Wayne films and talked about how Wayne called him to be in this film and gave a background about doing this last bad guy role with Wayne. Great reaction!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the super chat that is so kind of you!! 🥹❤️
Both of my parents went at the time of their choosing. Mom was 23 years ago, from ALS, and Dad about 6 years ago, from tongue cancer. They both chose the palliative care route. One thing i liked about this movie was how they incorporated scenes from Wayne's early movies in the telling of his life. Wayne was actually dying from cancer at the time.
1976 was a great year for westerns besides The Shootist. We also got The Outlaw Josey Wales, From NoonTill Three and The Return of a Man Called Horse.
The John Wayne movie in which John Wayne did his best John Wayne impression: "Big Jake"
Which scene? All of them.
Added bonus: Maureen O'Hara as the family Matriarch
I'm a huge John Wayne fan
Ironically, he spent the last twenty years of his life with only one lung. He had one with cancer and had it cut out. He still managed to do some very hard roles with only one lung, including the masterpiece movie, The Green Berets!! Special Forces unit in Vietnam!!
Lauren was a fabulous actor.
So glad you picked this one to react to. The cast is amazing.
Love you Joob
Gillam gets away with gunning down the bartender with Books gun, because everyone assumes Books shot him as he was dying. there were no witnesses inside. Maybe Doc guesses but stays quiet.
FYI several actors in this movie died from Cancer in real life ✌️❤️🙏🙏🇺🇸
Outstanding film. Thanks for this.
Lauren Bacall plays the part of Mrs. Bond Rogers. She was iconic in Hollywood in her own right. Her first role was opposite her future husband Humphrey Bogart in "To Have and Have Not" in 1944.
I think all of Hollywood knew this would be the Dukes last film because most of the supporting cast were Hollywood icons themselves. In fact Gillom Rogers is Ron Howard who was famous as a child on "The Andy Griffith Show" (1960-1968) and is still on the "A" list as one of the best directors in the business.
I've been waiting for you to watch this one. His last movie as he was dying from cancer for real 😢😢😢
My Sincere Well Wishes that Your Grandmother gets better.
My Prayers are with your Grandmother..
May the Grace of God Protect You and Your Loved One's...
"The Cowboys" (1972)
"The Outlaw Josey Wales" (1976)
"Pale Rider" (1985)
"Hell or High Water" (2016)
"The Professionals" (1967)
"Maverick" (1994)
"Quigley Down Under" (1990)
The woman you love is Lauren Bacall, she has many movies to her credit like from 1944 with Humphrey Bogart the Big Sleep and again with Bogart in To Have and Have Not. How to Marry a Millionaire and 2012 The Forger.
A great movie from an actor that lived that life on screen (as shown in the opening). A good example of ‘Today is a good day to die’.
I'm so glad you did this movie, It is a fitting end to JW's acting career. Oh, The more I look at your hat the more I like it. You are BA in it.
If you want to see Lauren Bacall when she was young watch "To Have and Have Not"
You need to also check out "The Alamo" with John Wayne....John Wayne was amazing...
The brown haired shooter guy was also an old western star, last movie I saw him in was Mel Gibson movie, Maverick. He put a bunch of old western stars in it, including his partner from Lethal Weapon!😮😮😮
YES!!!
if you find Lauren Bacall "enchanting" check out Key Largo or To Have And Have Not. Thank you for reacting to on of John Wayne's best performances
A great movie and great reaction. John Wayne made some terrific westerns, for sure, as many have mentioned. One of my favorites is The Searchers. Another great western. When you get the time, if you'd care to, give The Searchers a try. For now, thanks so much for allowing us to watch with you, and God bless you and yours.
Holy moly, you are seriously risking a Western movie overdose 😁
MJ, please do a photo search of Lauren Bacall of her younger days. One of the most beautiful women to ever come out of Hollywood.
This sadly was the last movie The Duke made. A true legend. The world was a different place when he died 3 yrs after this movie. His last appearance at the Academy Awards broke my heart, he was a shadow of the big bear of a man he was. There will never be an icon like him again, sadly.
Wonderful reaction! I’m still holding out hope you’ll watch “The Outlaw Josey Wales”
I love this film. All-Star Cast. Great drama. The end of the Cowboy Era as well as the end of the John Wayne Era.
Wish you cold have reacted to Alan Ladd in the movie Shane!!!😊great reaction as always😊thanks for sharing 👏👏👏😊👍✌️🇺🇸
IMO, thus was John Wayne's best film.
In the book Gillom puts the gun in his Pocket and walks out into the street another great westren is the Ox Bow Incident
Oh and one more thing you need to check out John Wayne's war movies and random other themes of movies...
Hi Jade hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
His last movie. And his best in my opinion.
If you liked Lauren Bacall in this, give "Key Largo" a look. An excellent film.
The red headed kid is now director Ron Howard
John Carradine also has a long list of movies and hid son David Carradine had the tv series Kung Fu.
Great Choice Miss Joob.
This is one Of John Wayne's better movies.
The silver haired guy was in the long time TV show, dragnet and also M.A.S.H.!
This is a pretty prestigious cast in case you didn't realize. John Wayne, silver screen icons Lauren Bacall and James Stewart, Hugh O'Brien from "The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp," Richard Boone from "Have Gun - Will Travel," Harry Morgan from "Dragnet" and M.A.S.H.," beloved character actor and singer/musician Scatman Crothers, horror movie star John Carradine, actor and director Ron Howard, Melody Thomas Scott from "The Young and the Restless."
Harry Morgan was in a lot of famous Westerns too. High Noon, Support You Local Sheriff, Bend of the River w/ Jimmy Stewart, The Far Country w/ Stewart, The Ox-Bow Incident, How the West was Won etc. etc.
