Andy,
Yes that was a Very Sad time in Films, and that was the End of Dern, and He was a Bad Guy from that time On !!!

Bob,
I must agree with You all the Way, I have a Hard Time Watching These Films !

In this Film Duke almost took the Back Seat to His Good Friend Jimmy Stewart, but it was still a Great John Wayne Film, and one that I have Hard A Time Watching Some Times, But it was Duke All The Way !!!

Hondo, Yes Duke said that He was Not Going to Shoot anyone in the Back, and He Did Not !
And He would Not Drop His Pants for the Doc. "Jimmy Stewart" to check Him For Cancer as The Director Don Siegel wanted in the First Part of The Film !!
He said "There are Not Going to be Any Bare Asses in any Movie I am In !!!"

Batjac had little to do with the making of the Film, But Duke called most of the Shots on How Much Blood and Guts were shown in the Film !

I think Duke's Death in "The Shootist" was the Most Moving for me, because it was His Last Film !
