Hello the camp.....Big Duke fan, been watching since I was a little kid, just turned 60.
Just finished watching Rio Bravo one of my favorits. Had a chance to visit old Tucson before the fire....Had my kids pan for gold on the bridge where Dude got dunked. Had ice cream in the hotel where Feathers threw the flower pot out the window. The old church even had a alter and statues inside. The cannon used in the Alamo sat alongside.....sad that most of thre old stuff is gone.
I do have a question though....I saw a special with Harry Carry jr. when he was at the location in the Seachers when his character runs off and gets killed after Duke tells him its a buck wearin Lucies dress. Never been able to find the special. I thought it was called Along the western trail....If any one knowes where it is Id love to know
Thanks
Odessa

Odessa,
We'd like to join the rest in welcoming you to the Original John Wayne Message Board, without a doubt the friendliest forum dedicated to John Wayne that you will find anywhere! In addition to friendly, you also find yourself among an amazingly knowledgeable group of Duke fans. You are sure to find an answer to most questions, if there is an answer to be found.
I'm wondering if the special to which you are referring might be the documentary "The Turning of the Earth" which I believe is available as one of the extras on The Searchers DVD. It's been a real long time since I've watched it, so I can't be sure, but it's worth checking (even it's not what you're looking for, it's good watching). If I'm wrong, one of my compadres will jump in and let us know.
Again, welcome to the JWMB! We look forward to getting better acquainted!

featuring tons of outtakes and rare footage from "the searchers" intercut with interviews of many of the surviving cast and crew,
"the turning of the earth" is an outstanding documentary about the making of one of the greatest films of all time.
it's insightful, well-researched and well-made, one of the finest films on the making of a film. "the turning of the earth"
is (as far as i know) only available with "the searchers" special edition laserdisc, but it's well worth seeking out for any
john wayne/john ford fans. for fans of "the searchers" it's an absolute must. -
Thanks for the info guys....
