Just watched this one again (as a double feature with "True Grit"). This is one of my favorites as well. As a guy a guy that's dabbled in comedy, the biggest thing about this movie I notice is Duke and Kate's comic timing. I know what lines are coming up, but they still make me laugh. It's all in the delivery!

This is one of the Duke movies I watch the most....I don't know if I can call it one of my favorites, but, to me, It just has that "watchability!" (Is that a word? It is now). Anyway, a fun movie, with my favorite Duke character ("True Grit" is still my favorite), and John Wayne at his comedic best. I'll take this one over "The African Queen" any day.

Hey Vera and Bill,
I'm with you guys on this movie as well.
QuoteMost Films are meant to be Fun to Watch, and some Films are meant to be Art.
Yep, and Duke did both kinds; I enjoy them both, but watch the fun films, like "Rooster Cogburn" the most. This is to me a very good, very entertaining film. I think it's John Wayne at his comedic best.
By the way, Bill, thanks for all of the links and stories. Very interesting stuff.
