Hi everyone,

Thanks for the all help out there. I posted a question a few months ago about a movie I was looking for where John Wayne is helping ranchers with their water rights. The movie is called "Riders of Destiny". Here's the description:

"Gun-slinging, edge-of-your-seat action. James Kincade manages the area's water supply and is forcing the ranchers to sign a contract to secure expensive water rates. Singin' Sandy Saunders a Government Agent plots against Kincade to overthrow the contract and impress Fay Denton. " I found this at: http://alldvduk.com/?search=Riders+of+Destiny&category=DVD
Hope you have it, Laura

Sorry, it was a John Wayne film.

I keep sharing everyone's responses with my husband, he and I watched the movie together so I am not nuts, here...I'll find it eventually and let everyone know. It's a good challenge. Your movie suggestion sounds great, I have never seen it and will. Thanks.

Thanks everyone. It was a John Wayne movie I am thinking of though I will watch Man Without a Star, sounds very good.

What I have stuck in my mind is an image of John Wayne, he is older and he takes a sledge hammer or axe and breaks a small wooden dam or levy that is blocking up a creek, preventing the water to flow down stream to the Hispanic farmers below...They came to him to plead with him for help because they and their cattle are dying of thirst. This always stuck with me because there was such urgency in getting the water to flow again and Wayne had to fight off another idiot that thought he could just take over all the water. There was also a part where he is disgusted by the barbed wire getting put up. That could be from another movie, though my husband seems to agree with me that this was all in the same movie. I am wondering if the John Wayne Estate hasn't release this movie? We haven't seen it in years and I have been looking at all the Wayne movie synopsizes and haven't seen it yet.

Glad to see that I am not the only John Wayne fan! He's the best! Laura

Hi lmarkis,
First of all, a big
WELCOME

to the JWMB.

I am sure you will meet many friendly and knowledgable folk on here.

Having said that, I'm trying to work out your question.
Firstly of all are you sure it is a John Wayne movie?
Secondly, Is it an old movie?
Have you any more detail, co-star etc?

I just asked my husband and he said it was a color movie, and John Wayne was about the age he was in Big Jake and Cahill movies. So it's a later movie. It was one of those where he owns most of the land but the water rights are in dispute, I remember the neighbors below being cut off of water, the neighbor above built some kind of dam. And just how upset John Wayne was that "barbed wire" not bob wire! was being use to block the cattle. I was even thinking it was a Chisum charactor...I am wondering if this movie hasn't been released. I can't remember anything else. It's been some time since we've seen it. It was on AMC or WGN Sunday night movie...

Hi, I am a newbie. I am looking for a John Wayne film where he is fighting the use of bob wire fencing. It has to do with an evil neighbor preventing the ranchers in the area from watering their cattle. I remember this movie so well because of how disgusted Wayne was with bob wire fencing and how it was the beginning of the end of the "free range" ranching. Any ideas to the title of this movie and where I can get a copy? Thanks, Laura
