    Suprised to hear that Duke said this, particually when you consider
    She Wore A Yellow Ribbon was Duke's favourite film,
    and in that movie isn't he wearing a moustache??
    Didn't seem to do his popularity much harm then!!!


    Duke said the combo of both the Eye patch and Mustache would obscure his face to much.

    Perhaps I should stop trying to clarify myself.... I only seem to muddy the waters even more.


    True Grit is the only movie I like her in, she gave an excellent performance, but as for her other work and seeing her in special features as herself, I dislike her as a person immensely.


    As Mattie = good. Anything else = annoying and bad.

    Actually, I think I should specify my complaint. The actress herself is the one I can't stand, she did a spectacular job in True Grit and indeed played the part so well that I though the written character had come to life.

    The only, and I mean ONLYpositive I can get out of this is maybe this movie will introduce John Wayne (somehow) to some of the younger audiences who had never heard of Duke. Just a thought.


    Leave it to GT to find the only positive thing about the movie.

    The book is awesome, the only thing that's changed is the very end of the book. I highly suggest you read it.


    Anyway... maybe is Rooster's gonna be a small role perhaps they can get Patrick to play him. Or maybe... :stunned: Harrison Ford. Seriously though I can't think of a single soul that could play Rooster.
