The Shootist
The Shootist is 1976 Western film starring a great cast: Lauren Bacall, Ron Howard, James Stewart, Richard Boone, John Carradine, Scatman Crothers, Richard Lenz, Harry Morgan, Sheree North, and Hugh O'Brian. It was John Wayne's final film and is a wonderful performance if you have any doubt that the man could act.

I don't think I've seen this!
ReplyDeleteI remember when it came out. Wayne's last film, unusual ending for a John Wayne film, critical acclaim... It's got a lot going for it.
Delete...I even know some of these names!
ReplyDeleteA great cast!
DeleteI"m not a big fan of westerns but that's a pretty fabulous cast and one to watch out for!
ReplyDeleteIt was a fitting end to John Wayne's long career.
DeleteI need to check this out. Thanks for film info. I don't know much about 1 John Wayne film from another.
ReplyDeleteThey can tend to be the same, especially the older ones, but there are some real standouts.
DeleteProbably my favorite John Wayne movie
ReplyDeleteHe's not my favorite actor, and there are some of his films I like better, but I understand why this one could be somebody's favorite. It's a great movie!
DeleteNot a Wayne fan but I believe I watched this due to being a devout Jimmy Stewart fan--LOL! Plus several of the other actors were good ones. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, there are many reasons to like this one.
DeleteReminds me of Buds Bencer / Terence Hill. Never liked those movies. But Ingo showed me an interview with the latter - cute guy (interview is in German, otherwise I would share. Yes, he really speaks pretty good German!).
ReplyDeleteTerence Hill is an underappreciated treasure.
DeleteYou can't tempt me to watch westerns!
ReplyDeleteI haven't always been a fan ;)
DeleteThis is a great movie. We watch it often.
ReplyDeleteIt's well-respected, worth re-watching.
DeleteI've never seen this, but the cast is amazing and the trailer is great.
