There is no more fitting final film roll that any actor ever had than John Wayne had with The Shoitist. He played many sharpshooters in his many westerns throughout the years. Then he got cancer in real life. So his final roll as an old gunfighter who gets diagnosed with cancer was absolutely perfect. It's like Hollywood made a film about the end of his life. Almost better than if it were a documentary. John Wayne was my pop's favorite actor. I can never watch one of his pictures without thinking of him.
This is great. No matter how slow he talks, we hang on his every word. Legend.
He had one lung.
This is the poster boy of ( Alfa Male) nuff said.
I have loved Duke Wayne all my life. And I will forever
DITTO
Me too 😊🇺🇸
or at least until God's round-up day for you.
The interviewer is right - John Wayne deserved at least a nomination for “The Shootist.” I would have given him the Oscar! Great film, great cast!
for whatever reason com,edies, musicals, westerns, adventure pics, film noir tended to be ignored in favor of dramas.
Agreed
So many performances he should have gotten an Oscar for:The Searchers and The Quiet Man
@@katherinehayes9110 - and Red River
and The Cowboys
LEGEND 🎬🥀🖤
If the world had more people like John what an amazing world it would be
Frankly I couldn't agree more personally. However, having an honest person of such strong character in the public eye. Particularly a caucasian male,now that would go entirely against today's agenda, now wouldn't it?
Yes if more John Wayne type where in the USA a fool like Biden wouldn’t be around
@@c.rusimko5303 Completely unnecessary, useless comment.
@@Moosetta thanks for your empty input
you mean good actors?
The shootist was a great final film for the big guy. Terrific film 🎥
The Duke should have won, a Oscar for the shootist.
The Duke should have easily won 2 more oscars for The Cowboys and The Shootist.
and maybe for The Searchers
My favorite Wayne movie was Chisum. The stampede ending has always been fermented in my mind as the best western ending of all time.
He was a far better actor then some that have gotten the award in the last 30 years. Hollywood has not been good for many years.
A giant of a man. A giant of an actor.
But not a giant in the armed forces in WWII
@@Frank_Nemo Get over it...
John Wayne is a name that has been revered for ages he’s a man’s man that people look up to. A good actor we love his movies and style he comes off tough but I think he was a kitty at at heart. R I P John you did good.
Watching John Wayne movies is one of the most vivid memories I have of spending time with my Dad when I was young. Stands up as an example of how to be a man and the good guy. My kids dont know who he is. I've often thought it should be on the curriculum in schools😁
Uh, get your kids to watch his movies......
It won't hurt to ask your kids a personal favor, to watch a movie with you
Im in my 60’s retired, & 8yrs ago I introduced one of my grandbabys to john Wayne movies. He’s 11 now & adores him.
Wayne was an honest, humble man while a magnificent actor.
He had controversial views 😳 of other races Member of the KKK racist!
No he wasn’t 😂
I still watch his movies, over and over again
1 word LEGEND.
This is one reason why we would sit around a black and white TV screen 16 inches accross, while adjusting the rabbit ears to get a clear picture. It was worth watching.
THere will never be a legend and an icon like John Wayne.
What a voice what a Giant of a man in every way ❤
I am old enough to remember a lot of his early films. He had a magnificent presence then and still does today! “That’s right pilgrim” Rest In Peace.
You will be remembered and loved!
Hopefully many young men WILL be like John
How blessed the world would be❤
JW was constantly underrated because he was so at ease in his roles. Being Number 1 box office star in the late 40s 50s and part of the 60s certainly was a huge achievement rarely matched by other movie stars.
This interview reflects his complete understanding of the movie business and his role in it.
Sadly he was never to make another film, passing away only 3 years after this interview at the age of seventy two.
Intelligent interviews like this just show that stars like JW happily opened up and discussed the industry
and their knowledge😎👌
worship much ...
John Wayne should have won an academy award for The shootist many of my friends who are big fans of John Wayne and fans of vintage movies from the Golden age of Hollywood say that that was probably John Wayne's best performance of his career. Thanks for posting stay well be safe
John Wayne should've won the Oscar for The Searchers, which in my view, was his best. But yes, a close second, it was fitting he should've won another Oscar for The Shootist
@@tonyatwood9505 yes and the Searchers
John Wayne was a "father figure", who made movies. The movie ; "Cowboys", I can imagine, in a way personified the Duke. I imagine that every male child actor that worked with him. wanted to be him.
He's not a Duke. He's a king
Love, love John Wayne. He was a down to Earth class act
He was a humble and kind man. And excellent actor 😉
There is nothing more America than a John Wayne Movie. The man is the epitome of what it is to be American. He died before I was born by 10 days. But he will always be my favorite actor.
What you see on the screen is The Duke! No different in real life. A living Legend!!
No matter the politics this man represented America so well in his magnificent westerns. The Shootist is truly a masterpiece and is a fond farewell to classic movies in general. John Ford could definitely paint a picture with his choice of landscapes.
WRONG. I am A RIGHT CONSERVATIVE AND I SUPPORT HIS views. IF YOU DON'T LIKE HIS VIEWS THEN DON'T WATCH HIS MOVIES. I LOVE CONSERVATIVE CELEBRITIES... NEVER LIBTARD
Just curious, if staunch pro America politics are just so repulsive in your opinion. If you aren't a parasite why would you continue living in this country?
@Seth Rotta True & typical of the textbook Keyboard Warrior he is.
@@discernment8963 "Pro-America" politics are worthless, you should be concerned with "Pro-American" politics instead, such as smashing the capitalists who destroyed the country for short-term profit, emancipating the workers who actually run our society, and investing our vast riches back into the people rather than the pockets of a select few parasites.
@@williamtecumsehsherman4343 Oh, I'm Pro American as well as Pro non corrupt/Swamp America. What I'm not is Pro communist/socialist/Leftist America or American for that matter. Semantically, fill in whatever fits the blank. I not Pro your People's Republic of America fantasy either Bill.
Nice to see The Duke sit down, but one can see his health challenges. While sad I’m also glad to see this footage.
The Duke is probably the most beloved actor ever. He didn't make bad movies
That is, until the woke mob came for him.
And even if the movie itself wasn't that great or mediocre, he saved it solely by his charisma and made it worth to be watched because of him.
@@vladimirhorowitz he died because he went to a nuclear test sight everyone that was with him there died too. Idk about the mob.
@@johnholiday4622 I don't know about his death. I'm just pointing out that he was one of the most beloved actors until the woke left found out he said things they disagreed with 70 years ago and tried to erase him from our culture.
@@vladimirhorowitz hes a POS, get over it. No one cares if you still like him, but no one else has to like him. You big baby. 🙄
Always a pleasure to hear him and see him, my kinda man. They don't make um like this anymore. 🙋♀️👍🙌
Fortunate to meet the big man in Bracketville,Texas when I was still a teenager back in the early seventies..never met a more iconic figure.
June 11, 2022. Duke passed away 43 years ago today. Exactly 10 years before his death, True Grit debuted in the theatres June 11, 1969.
The Duke has been my favourite actor for 48 years and will continue to be so until the day I die.🤠
Such an humble man, I grew up watching John Wayne movies, he wasn't only one the best actor's to grace the screen he was a great American.
So much had been said about John Wayne by the time this interview was conducted, that it seemed almost pointless to say any more. He had heard it all by then and he was humble. I sure do miss him though. He just knew how to sit a saddle, what to say when something needed saying and how to create characters so memorable, that they stand out among the very best.
Westerns were John Wayne's favorite, but other characters were equally as fun for him to create. The Quiet Man comes to mind. Which, if I remember correctly was his favorite movie he ever made. He loved Maureen O'Hara dearly. She adored him. They had chemistry on screen that was unmistakable and believable.
In my personal opinion, John Wayne is the finest actor ever. He made more movies verses any other actor/ actress. Though, he'd be the first to say, had it not been for so many great actors in those movies, he might not have been so popular throughout the years. He was and shall always be....the real deal. God Rest his soul.🌺
Love the Duke!!!! I wanted to be a cowboy/Marshall when I was a kid because of this man.
John Wayne is the biggest movie star in America the world over and he has the biggest star on the American Flag. Love you big John Wayne. RIP.
The Shootist is a great great movie. John should have won the Oscar. Over all in pictures it’s John Wayne.
Love the Duke, no BS from the hard working generation.
Yes,he definitely should have gotten an Oscar for The Shootist, just a good example of descrimination in America,and the movie industry!!!
Like everone who worked with"the Duke," you just gotta love and respect the man. There's just no two ways about it.
The Duke was a man of his times and he wasn't bashful nor apologetic for it. The recent (last 10 years) to vilify such men and people for that matter on today's screwed up social bug-a-boos is stupid. We are all flawed in some way and have our own ways of looking at things including opinions others do not share. He was no different than ANYONE else. Just famous.
He is gone but our love for him still here and it's last and last there is no replacement, he is the best
John Wayne, it one of the greatest actors ever.
Controversial remarks on blacks racist
@@TheMiketyson9 It is true that he was unfair to one race but he was very vocal and monetarily supportive of Indians. It goes to show the imperfections we all have. When using current standards and ideals to historical figures we can always see where there should be improvement.
Thanks for posting love this guy
John Wayne was a God send to America 🇺🇸
I would have loved to have met him.
The Shootist was one of Duke’s best movies.
Orson Welles said this dude had the best manners of anyone he's ever met and it shows here.
He may have been racist, or insensitive who knows, but he seems to have garnered much respect and affection through his behavior regardless. I also believe it may he wrong to judge a man who can't defend himself
Great interview! I liked the way he described the different styles of directing between John Ford and Howard Hawks. It was very interesting.
Interesting to hear the Duke talk about the difference between Ford & Hawks. I love how Orson Welles compared the two..." Ford is great poetry...Hawks is great prose".
A Man’s Man!
What a wounderful man he was Rip Amen xxx
John Wayne was a great star, sad to see him so sick, he was one of the best if not THE BEST western and all around actor there was.
I miss John Wayne! He was the most under-rated actor there was. Yes, you knew you were getting "John Wayne" but damn, he could act with the best of them. The Shootist was a great film and a great one for the Duke to go out on.
I thought I’d seen every RUclips clip on the Duke until I saw this one. Thanks for sharing it here. Another great clip of JW with some interesting dialogue on a few of the directors he worked with over the years.
The Shootist - great movie
Miss him and so many others
My all time favorite actor!!
God, I miss this man!!
Wow! He had charisma!!!! Damn!!!!
His pain and discomfort of his cancer are visible and it hurts just to watch, but there he is anyway...that was John Wayne.
That voice.
Thank you DAD for telling me about John Wayne...Best COWBOY EVER!
You could see some deep. emotions from Wayne when he was asked about john ford!
Just discovered your channel. Looks like you've got some great interviews that I will be watching. Thank you for this with John Wayne. He was a hero figure to us kids.
Pure class that’s what the Duke is.
I love John movies.and interviews.❤😊
he is right about John Ford. one of the greatest.
I would have loved to have met him. He got on very well with Richard Widmark and so I'd like to think that John Wayne wouldn't have fallen out with me! An interesting man. My personal favourite was "The Searchers" and he should have gotten an accolade for that, in my opinion.
Thanks for this interview
Legendar actor
John Wayne and James Arness are my favorite western stars,
I love his movies and his political views are amazing
God Bless John Wayne!
John Wayne is an American Icon. "BAR NONE"!
Say what you want of my hero. He was an American.
Great clip,thanks for sharing
Not one person ever said a bad word about him!!!!!
He was a giant!!!!!
The main differences between John Ford & Howard Hawks were that Hawks had none of Ford's sentimentality, nor did he indulge in the broad humor that Ford often indulged in. Ford would have never been comfortable with the kind of overlapping fast-paced dialogue Hawks employed in His Girl Friday. Hawks wouldn't have been terribly adept with the material in The Informer, The Long Voyage Home or The Grapes of Wrath. Imagine Ford making To Have & Have Not, & imagine Hawks making The Quiet Man. Ford didn't have the instinct for the nuances of male/female relationships that Hawks had. It's also interesting to consider how Hawks and Ford often used the same actors. Walter Brennan loved working for Hawks; he despised Ford. One aspect of film making that Hawks and Ford both shared was a preference for keeping the camera at eye level.
I'll take ten minutes of John Wayne over all the CGI comic book superhero movies ever made.
CHEERS
Man was a terrific actor. Should have won Oscars for The Cowboys, The Shootist, and perhaps The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance, which still stands the test of time.
The screen becomes small when John Wayne is on it
And soon after this interview Western Films became more rare each year.
Totally right ! The main reason was
just one year after John Waynes last movie "The Shootist" was released,
"Star Wars" changed everything.
It started the sci-fi- and special- effects- craze that is still in overdrive today since 1977.
From this point on westerns would become old-fashioned and hopelessly outdated , at least in the eyes of the youth , the main movie goers, and only big-budget-blockbusters would make it big at the box-office.
And sadly it's quite probable ,
that if John Wayne had lived some ten years longer thru the eighties either he'd had completely retired from the movies or he'd had reduced his movie career to occasional guest-star appearences in some of the big-budget TV- mini-series typical of that time period, "The Blue and the Grey" for instance.
John Wayne was so great. If we still had men like him around the world would be a lot better off.
Sadly, you can tell he is out of breath just giving this interview. Operating off one lung, and a weakened one at that, while trying to talk at length was difficult at best. He was the last of his kind.
DEFINITELY
UNIVERSALLY
KING.OF
ENTERTAINMENT 🐎 👢
"Get er done" 😄🥰
One of the great Americans.
He was one of the greatest....
Man he’s giving want to be students of the picture business a class right now for free.!
I still miss the Duke. Real people make real impressions.
Thank you.
Jonh wayne amor mío❤️❤️❤️
BIG JOHN,just sitting there talking normally without bluster.That'll do for me!!..One of a VERY SMALL KIND.
