Saw one of my favorite movies today-The Shootist John Wayne's last movie.

Saw one of my favorite movies today-"The Shootist John Wayne's last movie.
It was fitting end for John Wayne's great career,a man,indeed, a legend the Shootist is dying of cancer.Wayne himself would die cancer three years later.There is always a sadness when things come to end,but sadness there is romamce,our heros often loses the final for example Bonnie Prince Charle or Robert E. Lee.
Anyway the picture's director was Don Siegel Clint Eastwood's favorite diector,they did five pictures together.Also in the film was Ron Howard,Lauren Bacall and James Stewart,who also did a movie that was one of my favors with John Wayne,The Man who shot Liberty Valance" just great film saw in Bronx at first with my mother almost by accident,it was early nineteen sixties,maybe 1965 maybe ealier,anyway we were walking in Fordham Road and saw movie theater and decided to go in.The film was directed by John Ford,John Wayne's favorite director.It's greats seem so many times now Jimmy Stewart thinks his shoot the evil Liberty Valance(played by Lee Marvin) but it's John Wayne who did the noble deed.Stewarts gets Wayne girl become a U.s Senator because his man that shoot Liberty Valance,Wayne sort quits on life,never coment never complain just noble man who did right at great cost to himself.
