Posts from Robbie in thread „Christmas with Duke & Maureen“

I think if its going to have a Christmas message there needs to be redemption within the overall theme of the movie therefore there are two possible scenarios these could be as follows:

i. Should they know each other? One character develops throughout the movie (John Wayne) in order to put right past mistakes.

ii) Should they meet for the first time in the movie and the overall ploy of the movie focuses on a love story, there is the danger here of invading 'Quiet Man' territory.

Duke is dishevelled in the movie and hitting the drink a little too hard, something akin to his character during the final part of 'The man who shot Liberty Valance' although without much of the dark connotations of the Doniphan character.

I'm not sure if his character should be estranged from O'hara of if they should meet during the movie.
