Moonshine_Sally I'm happy to see you jump back in with a post.
I love the searchers and I would have jumped at the opportunity to go watch the movie. I'm excited for you, enjoy the movie on the big screen.

Hi 4782UU
Glad you are still keeping the forum alive Kevin. I have gained most of my John Wayne information here. Facebook is not for me.
Don't be a stranger, jump back in here and help us rekindle some activities around here. 😁
I'm still here (obviously) 😂
Glad you popped back in Popol Vuh
The forum still gets a good bit of traffic just not a lot of posts. Many of the old timers are either dead or don't have much to contribute anymore. Seems that some of the discussions have move to Facebook which is sad to me but there's little I can do to change that. Facebook is more convenient for fans.
But I'm committed to keeping the form alive for as long as I can. There's a wealth of information within the pages of this website. You could spend many hours perusing through the threads on this forum.
Maybe one day they'll be a resurgence of activity here on the JWMB, and some of the old timers will come back and jump back in.
Time will tell.
I wish Yates had left him alone to make The Quiet Man the way he wanted to. I can’t help but think it would have been even better.
I agree.
Thanks for sharing this.
I just watched this movie again for the first time in many years. I have one question, can the final fight scene be adjusted? John Wayne's stunt double is too obvious to the point of distraction.
It was obvious, it kind of takes me out of the fight scene.
Nice to see you again Robbie! Hope all is well with you and your family.
Welcome Dr.Crespi to the JWMB!
I'll have to circle back and watch THE SHADOW OF THE EAGLE since it's been many year since I've seen it.
The official Maureen O'Hara website - Maureen O'Hara Magazine curator June Beck has passed away. June visited and posted here in the early years of the forum. I'm sad to hear the news! She'll be missed.
June did a wonderful job with the Maureen O'Hara Magazine Facebook page and website. She posted many wonderful stories and photos of Maureen and many of the stars she knew including John Wayne.
Rest in peace, June.
Interesting photo I found on a social media.

On February 6, 1974 McQ was released.
McQ stands out among the modern cop dramas crafted by John Wayne during the 1970s. Wayne portrays McQ, an upright Seattle police officer committed to rooting out corruption and drug-dealing elements within his own department. His approach mirrors the iconic Dirty Harry style, a role Wayne had declined a few years prior.
In the film, John Wayne introduced American audiences to the MAC 10 submachine gun, complete with a formidable suppressor. His character McQ resides on a boat, with John Wayne's own boat used to film several scenes.
McQ boasts a pair of remarkable car chases executed by the uncredited Hal Needham. Notably, Needham risked his life during the filming of the climactic stunt, driving a car equipped with a black powder cannon to achieve a flip without the use of ramps.
The movie's screenplay was co-authored by Lawrence Roman, known for his work on the western samurai film Red Sun (1971), also featuring Charles Bronson; and the Japanese samurai film Toshirô Mifune, sometimes dubbed the Japanese counterpart of John Wayne.
Today is John Ford's birthday! He was born on February 1, 1894.
Beyond the lights of the set, Ford and John Wayne shared a deep and enduring friendship that spanned decades. From "Stagecoach" to the unforgettable "The Searchers" and beyond, their camaraderie added an extra layer of magic to their cinematic masterpieces.
Ford, the visionary director, and Wayne, the charismatic leading man, complemented each other like no other duo in the history of cinema. Their partnership was built on mutual respect, trust, and a shared passion for storytelling that resonated with audiences worldwide.
Their collaborations not only left an indelible mark on film history but also showcased the power of a strong bond in creating cinematic magic.

Good movie.
Nothing wrong with that!

I can't help with an answer to your question, but I'm sure someone here might be able to answer this? itdo
Evil is running ramped in our world.
A 1963 John Wayne movie that’s loosely based on William Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew” will be on the big screen at the next benefit event from Omaha film historian Bruce Crawford.
