Go to the Library Congress and vote or nominate for Adventure's End to be added to the film registry.
I do random searches for the 1937 "Adventure's End" from time to time in hopes that it will someday move to the found list and become available to the public. In my search I saw two negative reviews of this film on IMDb, which is a bit humorous since it is not available to the public. Of course, I had to leave my own review of their reviews and I encourage anyone else to do the same since one is not motivated by the movie but racial bias. On the up side I see that IMDb is now listing this as a film located at the Library of Congress but has not yet been duplicated for the public's viewing pleasure. I hope it is released soon since it is on my top list of lost films that I hope become public before my last days.
I saw one scene with a tall fellow that was part of a small crowd watching the jockeys as they exited their locker room. He did have an odd look on his face but I would not bet money one way or the other this was John Wayne. I could not locate him after several attempts, using slow motion, pause or otherwise.
How did I become a John Wayne fan? My dad was a fan as I was growing up in the 60's and 70's so I guess it came naturally. I started collecting films on VHS in my early teens and saved and bought my first book "The Films of John Wayne" probably in 1979 since that is the printing date in the book. The poor book is all marked up by me marking the movies I had seen on TV, those that I had bought and those that were not included in the book. It is now worn and tattered and I'm still trying to find the remaining films to complete my school kid obsession, which is how I stumbled upon JWMB. I now have an excel spreadsheet and retired the book to light duty. I guess it still makes me feel like a kid sometimes. If the gifts that the family give you on birthdays and Christmas are any indicator that your a John Wayne fan then yes I am. I strayed for a while as life was busy and I had watched all there was to watch many times. Now that I am retired I'm finding my way back and enjoying them all over again and finding the new movies that are now available and other new young Duke discoveries on new found films. So much has changed in this new digital age.
