Willie Nelson has a line in a song that says "Come on back Jesus, and pick up John Wayne on the way"... with the current state of affairs in the Duke's beloved America right now, I surely wish that that line in that song would come true. I bet he is looking down with a tear in his eye, both Jesus and John Wayne.
If you're reading this big John, a simple thank you is all I have for all you've meant to Americans in your countless movies and for how you stood for America in heart, deed and soul. RIP "pilgrim", you're at home now with the Father!
The best doco I've ever seen in regard to the great John Wayne may he rest in peace. His legacy to movie goers and Americans every where will never die. Thank God !!!!
The Duke has been in heaven since 1979! Since he's young again and if they make movies in heaven, you know without a doubt, hes a star ⭐in Heaven as well.
I watched The Searchers in Las Vegas Nevada 1957. On the big screen. I was 12. Great experience. The air conditioning was nice too. Candy was 5 cents. Popcorn with real butter 15 cents and cold drinks 10 cents.
I grew up during his top grossing yrs. and his popularity, 1960s thru too 1979 when he died. Like my father I admired, idolized, and truly appreciated his skills as an Actor. I'm positive my Father, respected, and agreed with the Duke on a Political level, as for me I have never based my likes, or dislikes, of anyone, on the basis of thier beliefs!! To me life is too precious too make judgements, of others by their association, of Religion, Politics, Social orig., or for that matter who they hang around with. IF I like n trust them? They are A ok with me. I agree that in my youth and young Adult hood John Wayne, represented what we as Americans should try too be, or be precieved, as by the rest of the World. Now after 40 years since his death? I think a lot of that image of American, and Americans. Has given us a bad Rep in the views of the other nations, of the World. The rest of the World has made it's judgements, based on our Governments representative's, Policies, and of all things it's actions, over those Forty years. Today as well as in the past " John Wayne ", is still a Great American. Long may his Name n Legacy endure. Thank you for the previous Documentary, and video on The Duke. Wyo, Robert, 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🌈🌈🌈🌈👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎🙌🙌🙌🙌
Never fought for his country. Strange how his movie image was no match for a true hero like Audie Murphy. .. John ford made his imagehow to talk and walk. James arness fought as a marine like Lee Marvin and charles Bronson as tail gunner.
You don't have to be in the military 0r police to fight for your Country ordinary People fight everyday for their Country and John Wayne was one of these whether at home or abroad he always put his Country America first Any one who loves there Country fights for its survival and its Good name
Interesting video: this a perfect example of an actor believing he truly is the character he playes. Only a close look at his life will tell you on screen he was great, in real life he was a fraud. If he had served in the military he would have remembered the oath we took apon enlisting To protect and defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic Now the constitution stand for freedom and justice / The bill of rights Political freedom and freedom of association where fine with him as long as your views and choice of politics where in line with his . He was what One calls a ( nationalist ) America do or die / I took an oath in school each day to the ( republic ) and in the military to the ( constitution ) But old John just believe in ( America right or wrong ) regardless of what we did even if it meant violating our ( republic ideas ) or the ( constitution) If alive today he would be a Trump supported and member of the ( proud boys ) they represent his vision of America
Not sure you watched it all, did you? There were several times during the documentary when he criticized U.S. policy. Like most, Wayne loved his country and the principles upon which it was built, but exercised his right to criticize it when it made bad decisions, e.g. native american/indian policy, vietnam war, etc.

John Wayne is my number one favorite actor. I cannot say which are my favorite movies. I love them all.
The last scene in The Searchers would bring a tear to a glass eye...the best western movie ever made.
I absolutely loved this documentary. John was and still is a fantastic symbol of an American and what all men should strive to be
This is a wonderful Tribute to John Wayne, and the American Ideals.
I met him at Huntington beach one day in 75 nice man thanked me for my service to this country I was in the Navy

John Wayne’s speech in the opening was from a musical special he did with Glenn Campbell called the musical west.
Barry Goldwater. The man who should have been President.
ahhhhh don't like sharing restrooms with colored folk?
A man who was not ashamed to be a myth like his nation.
Shane and High Noon 🕛 are the two best western’s of all time 👍
John Wayne - American
Wonderful documentary of the Duke, ty.
Thanks grandpa had recorded this it aired watched it lot searchers clips first I saw that for long time now its on all time
Thought he was a great human being before seeing this now even more so. Can not believe this has only been viewed 2200 times.
His politics don't align with Google's. I'm surprised you could find it here at all.
Great video... Thanks
Duke is turning in his grave now, America is crazy.
John Wayne would make a good Vice President for President Trump. Or a Great Senator which this Country needs. We miss you Duke !!!!
Agree 100 percent 🇺🇸💪
An AMERICAN !!!!! A REAL ONE .
But no one can fight the war agai n st the cigarette companies which we have lost more people because of this enemy. Love john wayne.
John Wayne was once called "Macho". He replied he was just a man. acting macho!
This was filmed 10 years after we lost the Duke.
The old order changeth, yielding place to the new and God fulfills himself in many ways lest one good order should corrupt the world.
James arness was the closest thing to John Wayne
I agree!
I was born in the Mojave desert.1954
John Wayne he was a republican patriot 🇺🇸💪God bless John Wayne
And even on laugh in dressed i. A bunny suit! Also sons of katie elder!
Background music is to loud. Why do they do that?
