Awhile back, I was watching the movie, The Shootist on TV. During commercial break, Ron Howard did an interview. He spoke of how great it was working with the Duke and the mutual respect they had for each other. The Duke said he would like to make one more movie and it would be with him, Ron Howard. Ron said the movie would be called: John and Me!
Didn't give much details about the film, only that he was disapointed that it never got off the ground. I assume that was due to John's failing health. Does anyone know if this went anywhere beyond the talking stages? Bill

two thumbs up! ( except for the italian girl) way to young! Would have rather seen Sophia Loren! ( italian women! )

I liked it for the circus acts!

I can't recall the name of it. It was with Charlton Heston. He was in charge of taking care of somebody's property. A woman and her boy moved into a cabin there
and he started careing for them. He played kind of a simple minded man, good story
but i didn't like the ending. He left them. Anybody know the name of that?

Rio Grande was one of two movies where John starred with Chill Wills. There were some actors that John Wayne worked with that he did not like. Chill wills was one of them. Does anybody know why? ( I read that in a book, just how true that is i do
not know.)

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask this but, does anybody know if there is a good ( not import ) dvd out there on the barbarian and the geisha? Does anybody have one? I have it on VHS. I liked the movie! Great story about the Japanese people. Thanks! My name is Bill, I'm from Colchester Vermont. Im 53 years old and work at IBM. Been a JW fan since i was a kid. I'm a greenhorn here so patients please!

My Dad was a huge John Wayne Fan. I grew up as a kid watching his movies. John wayne was a household name. As a kid there was always a JW movie on somewhere.

I'm Sorry but i think the saddest death was in the cowboys. It was a unexspected, unprovoked attack by a low life creature named Bruce Dern. In the Shootist, death was inevitable. It was either that or face death by cancer.

Thanks for all the Info. Its going to take me a while to get on track. Just want to read what everyone has to say. This site is awesome! bill trayah
