Hi Nathan,

The whole scene in THE SEARCHERS, is so funny! The rock is lifted off the Indian, and he almost breathes a sigh of relief, as if to say" Thank God, that's been moved"
Then after Duke, does what a man has to do, Mose Harper goes into an Indian war dance, only to get told off by Duke!

Hi General,

JOHN WAYNE-THE AMERICAN, cast list is pretty poor, DUKE-the Life and Image of John Wayne, Ronald L.Davis, a great book, Ward's in the cast list on that one too.

General, when you watch it again, Ward is really funny, he's like ,miming the words!

Just thought of two more major production Bloopers! that could have turned out better!

IN HARMS WAY- Who on earth, sanctioned the final battle scene to be models! It spoilt in my opinion, a brilliant film. They would have been better, not to have bothered,even Kirk Douglas, said so at the time, he didn't like the end at all!. The models were obvious, no one scurrying around on the ships etc.

ROOSTER COGBURN- The river raft scene, the long shots, with the women obviously replaced by men with wigs, the positions on the raft, on the studio close ups, not matching with the live shots, it all seemed so wrong! Fun watching though!

We've had some May sun today! it's been rare in England so far!!

Hi Everyone

Hi, SXViper and Ringo,

It's good to hear from you "Young uns" and it's fantastic, that The Duke is so appreciated by the younger generation.

Very best wishes,

the "More mature" ethanedwards

Hi Arthur,

Thanks for verifying those two, perhaps, the sites Filmography can be updated, to include them. You'd probably agree, that's probably, as good as it gets, unless anyone can come up with any, that have been missed!

Hi Ringo,

That's a good one! The funny thing is,the way we're going, next time we watch the films, we'll be spending more time, looking for the bloopers, then following the film, and story line! Mind you, some of us, have watched them that many times, we could write the story line!!! It just makes watching them, all that more enjoyable.

Thanks itdo,

I never use IMBD, as they've often miss many films! Books are best!
Thanks for the ones about SANDS.
However, being a limey,means I wouldn't have spotted the car!!!,
but when I watch it for the 101th. time!!(Sad people we are, or are we?) I'll look out for Strykers scene.

Hi General,
Ward Bond certainly was in THE BIG TRAIL, he wore a beard,and was Sid Bascom. Refer to IMDB,Ward Bond,Film 253,1930,it shows Ward as uncredited.!THE COMPLETE FILMS OF JOHN WAYNE,THE OFFICIAL JOHN WAYNE REFERENCE BOOK show him in the cast list!

It's hard to be critical of those early films, considering, the technology they had available, and I would think continuity was un-heard of! Having said that, it seems there's less Bloopers in the early films, than in the films we've already mentioned!
Here's three to look for:-

BABY FACE-although Duke was only in this film a couple of minutes. Look out in the office scenes, the walk-ons are momentarily standing still, maybe by a door way etc, waiting for action!! Poor editing, catches them, suddenly spurred into motion!

THE BIG TRAIL- This is one of my personal favourite bloops! Just watch Ward Bonds mouth, when he's in dialogue scenes. It seems Ward has been so diligent in learning his
script, he's learnt everyone elses as well. Look carefully, when someone else in the cast is talking, Wards lips are mouthing their words, with perfect timing!!

THE LAWLESS FRONTIER- The one when Gabby, hides his daughter in a sack and puts her on a mules back, to escape, the amorous bandit. In earlier chase scenes, before the mule is required, they keep passing this same mule, tied up, with sack in place,
obviously grazing, waiting for his cue, later on!

Thanks General, and Harold, hadn't spotted those, but will be looking for them now!
I still can't see that Yellow bus though!!!
Here's a couple more from The JW Ref Book;-

THE COMANCHEROS- Duke runs to the wagon, for a better position, and the wheel
is still,
In the next scene it is spinning, again
When fleeing the camp, a film reversal, shows, Duke
firing his rifle, first left-handed, and then right!
THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE- The days of DUKE double breasted shirts,
In the bar he's shown in a dark shirt, when he arrives at the
ranch, he's in a lighter shade, inside his house, it's a dark
shade, When Woody Strode, carries him out of the house, it's
the light one again,and when Duke is in the wagon, it's the
dark one again!
BIG JAKE- As mentioned, there were three in this film:- When Duke is
saving the sheep herder, a rider approaches him, almost
giving him a message, but because of bad editing, the
scene shows the rider, not near him yet!
In the fist fight, between Duke and Patrick, continuity, are not
aware of Patricks shirt tails, in/out/in/out

ANYONE GOT ANY MORE?

Just thought of one similar to yours Harold!
in THE SANDS OF IWO JIMA, I think it's John Agar, who fires off a rifle, and the"dead" man next to him, jumps a mile!!

Yes, Ringo and General, I remember those too, I can see Chucks expression now!
That frame in EL DORADO, was also poor.
Here's some more, from The JW Ref. Book, for anyone that hasn't seen it;-

RED RIVER- Clift knocks, Dukes hat off, cuts to Brennan, then knocks the same hat off
again!
THE SEARCHERS- One minute, Martin Pawley, is one-eighth Cherokee,the next, he is
one-quarter Cherokee!
THE ALAMO- When Crockett and Travis have a drink in the cantina,a Tennessean, is
knocked down by the fireplace, in the next scene, he has disappeared!
When the attack begins, Bowie, fires his rifle, and you can see the wire
on the stock, causing, the simulated gunfire!
When the final attack begins, an explosion, causes some men, to jump
off the wall, on to some visible mattresses!
As the battle concludes, the Mexicans, jump over a palisade, in the next
scene, they haven't got there!
Before Crockett is stabbed by the Mexican lance, he already has the
blood stain on his shirt, from a previous take!
When Crockett, throws the torch into the front of some powder kegs, the
the explosion comes from the rear!
Great films, but also good fun, to look at these! More later!!

Like most of us, when you've seen a Duke movie," hundreds" of times, and spotted all the familiar faces, it's also fun, to spot the bloopers!
The Official JOHN WAYNE Reference Book, has a couple of pages, relating to them.however, it would take too long,, to type them all on this post!!
But here's some,The films mentioned are:-
RED RIVER.(The chuck wagon, with and without a hole in the canvas!)
THE SEARCHERS.(When the rock is moved, the Indian breathes!)
THE BARBARIAN AND THE GEISHA GIRL(Camera shutters, clicking, in the fight scene!)
THE ALAMO(What yellow bus?)(and Travis, does move his hand?)
NORTH TO ALASKA,(I've mentioned the wig, in another post)
THE COMMANCHEROS(The spinning, and not spinning wheel, and Dukes rifle hands)
THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE(Shirt, continuity)
THE SONS OF KATIE ELDER(The explosion on the counter)
THE WAR WAGON(Hat on, hat off)
TRUE GRIT(Film reverse, on the famous shoot out!)
RIO LOBO(Chuck,substituting Duke)
BIG JAKE(Three of them, including, camera shutters, clicking!)
ROOSTER COGBURN(Dukes coat on one scene, off another!)

There are a few more, in the films above, I've not included!!

This is by no means, the lot, but if you have anymore, it would be
fun, looking for them

Duke Film Mistakes

Corrections

In addition to Hondos, and the other comments, it would appear that Richard Widmark, didn't like Duke, from that"Welcome aboard Dick" start, and certainly didn't rate him as a director.
You only have to read "Company of Heroes" by Harry Carey jnr, and I refer to the chapter, Two Rode Together, which was being filmed at the same time as The Alamo premiere, and I quote:-
"Uncle Jack(Ford) asked me to deliver a message,Off I (Dobe) went to Widmarks cabin.
Same routine-very gruff,"Who is it?" When I told him it was me(Dobe), and the Old Man(Ford) wanted him, he opened the door.He went into a minor rage. Not his mad rage, just his upset rage.
"I know what he wants.I know exactly what the old b****** wants!
Wayne has called him, and he wants me to go to that god***** premiere of The Alamo in San Antonio! Well, s**** it! I'm not going to that god***** terrible movie. It was enough grief working on it!..... D*** I'm not going.
He ended up going, because Uncle Jack said so,"Dick here has been kind enough to do this for Duke.... as long as he can take you boys (Dobe, Ken Curtiss) with him.....And Dick thank you very much" He(Ford) patted Duke on the shoulder.
It's ironic, that they all called him DICK!! And it didn't seem a problem!!

Hi Jay,
Many thanks for your kind welcome. It kinda looks, that this site, is becoming the place for the "more mature" to meet up, and exchange views. Ha ha.

Hi again Chester,
Just posted a reply to you, about the song!
You're correct, to assume, I'm one of the older variety, but as you saw, I prefer to call us, the "more mature" I put my birthday into my profile, I'm not afraid!!!The hell I am!!
Thanks for asking,I have a boy and girl, 4 & 7.I've led a sheltered life!!

Hi, Chester,
Thanks for your kind comments. We're in the process of re-recording the song, should there be enough interest, It was originally recorded, and published pre-digital days,and as you know, quality of sound has moved on since then.The Birthplace, have the words there, and it was also, published in the Big Trail journal, and The John Wayne Film Society journal, over here. I also did a similar one for Harry Carey, incorporating his films, and he and Marilyn, wrote, me , a lovely note, saying they had shown it to their friends and family, and that they would have it framed and displayed, in their home.

Guess when I post this, Hondo and Chester, will still be snoozing, but can I take this
opportunity of thanking, both of you, and Arthur, in Portsmouth, for your welcomes.
I've enjoyed browsing the site, and can only hope, that any contributions, that I make, will be as enjoyable.
Torquay, as Arthur knows, is on the same coast as Portsmouth, but a little further, south-west, 3-4 hours away.
I agree, it is fantastic, that the younger ones, are keeping the memory of the Duke
alive, my children, being amongst them.

A Jimmy Stewart film, that hardly gets mentioned these days. The 1968 film, FIRECREEK, co-starring, Henry Fonda, Inger Stevens, Jay C Flippen, Jack Elam. and John Qualen.

As The Duke would say to slimming, "The hell I will"
