Ya know, this movie


is at the top of my list of favorite John Wayne movies.

I like the way he's strong but also admits when he's wrong, and knows when to be gentle and kind with the boys.

My other two very favorites are Rooster Cogburn and The Quiet Man.

The rest of the favorite list is El Dorado, Liberty Valance, Rio Bravo, Hondo, and The Searchers.

I like this film, I like it a lot, but 'The Searchers' is still Number One for me. The way John Wayne takes the younger Jeffery Hunter under his wing presages this movie and shows us that Wayne, whoever he really was, really was the real thing: a bona fide Cowboy.
