I enjoy a lot of Selleck's work. I'll look for his book soon. Should be a fine read.

That's a very cool shot

Nice read, thanks for posting.

I was on a four+ hour flight tonight and as part of my travel prep I had downloaded Comancheros to help pass the time. Turned out to be a great idea as before I knew it the movie was over and I was down to about an hour to kill on the flight. Just a fun movie and great diversion that keeps you entertained beginning to end, and I've seen it a dozen times before.

Merry Christmas everyone!

My dad was a huge John Wayne fan so When I was a kid I watched them with him all the time. The first one I can remember was Rio Lobo. It became one of my favorites. Now I have many favorites and have tried to see as many as possible. To say I love the Duke is an understatement.

Your handle announced your affection for Rio Lobo right away. Welcome!

I think In Harm's Way was partially filmed on the Kearsarge but that would have been earlier than 1965. I think it was filmed in '62 or '63. Great movie though.

Speaking of places where John Wayne was...I read that his California ranch, Rancho Pavoreal, was recently sold. It is in or near Hemet, CA which is fascinating to me because my mother's side of the family had some roots there; though they have long moved on.

Among his many roles I have a fond remembrance of his part in the somewhat lackluster Bonanza The Return that was on tv in the 90s. Didn't really recapture the allure of the Bonanza series but Johnson was good and gave it some credibility.

There is several clips of Mitchum's interview on youtube; here is the one with him talking about being blacklisted

Thanks for sharing the photos! Looks like a great visit

Is there anyone who likes "Rio Lobo" more than "Rio Bravo" and "El Dorado"?
I like all three films but Rio Bravo is the best in my opinion. Not taking anything away from the other two but the combination of Wayne, Dean Martin, Angie Dickinson, Walter Brennan and Ricky Nelson just makes it the better movie to me. One of my top favorite films.

I saw most of this on TV yesterday. Does anyone know why Jim Hutton never made another movie?
Looks like he mostly worked in television after HHellfighters. The 70s was the decade of the TV movie.

Nice thing about a thread like this is that there are no wrong answers!

Reminds me of The Gun and the Pulpit but I don't think that's exactly it.

If I was going to limit myself to just eight of his films:
1. The Quiet Man
2. McLintock!
3. Rio Bravo
4. Donovan's Reef
5. Comancheros
6. The Searchers
7. She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
8. Big Jake

Just caught Wagons East on TV. John Candy's last film. It's a farce and very silly but technically still a western I think.

Happy Thanksgiving all...I hope we're all recuperating from the food coma.
