THE COWBOYS! John Wayne's Young Wranglers with Robert Carradine A WORD ON WESTERNS
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 мар 2019
- In "The Cowboys" (1972), teenager Robert Carradine made his film debut as one of the young wranglers helping John Wayne drive a herd of cattle to market. Stalked by cattle thieves, the boys meet tragedy on the trail. They begin the drive as schoolboys but return as Cowboys. It's a towering performance by Wayne. Carradine recalls how the young actors all became proficient hands during preparation for the film and what happened when he suggested to Duke what his character should do.

I cried my eyes out when he died in the cowboys. And I cried the day JOHN WAYNE died he is my hero 🥰🥰🥰
I was around 4 years old when my family went to see that film at the drive-in. Even back then, I already knew who the Duke was and that death scene was shocking. It's one of the most impactful death scenes I'd ever seen in a movie. John Wayne was the best and always will be.
John Wayne taught me how to man up.
Yes I cried too and in his last movie he also dies the Shootest I’m a John Wayne fan my dad owns every movie he ever played in John Wayne was everything.
This was a very special movie. Dern was evil creepy in the ways only Bruce Dern can do. The charisma between the kids and Roscoe was outstanding. Story, music - it was the whole package of movie magic.
Tip toe😬
The Cowboys is a GREAT film. Robert Carradine did a fine job in his first role as 'Slim'.
He's as cool as a breeze, nothing would faze him.
Robert is such a down to earth guy. Really like his work. What a famous family....
As a young Dallas officer, I was assigned to "bodyguard" him at Love Field when he came to Dallas for the premier of True Grit. He did NOT need me as his bodyguard! Very nice man who treated me with respect which I truly appreciated.
Hallo, I‘m watching movies with John Wayne ..., speeches, interview, etc and believe that he was a wonderful man. My grandmother was born in 1909, therefore I now hard it was to accept the new reality, liberalizm, "freedom" which he spoke about. In that era he just thought and had the right to not accept violent changes in behavior, personal culture ... (like many people today). And today, we throw it it on "dirt"?. It‘s nice that Carradine is very warm about him. I would like to visit California once. Greetings from Vienna.
Never been able to watch bruce dern since that movie
@@StanLee2020 he was so deliciously evil in this one!
@Leo Peridot what about 12 year olds
@Leo Peridot who gaf??
Mr. John Wayne please come back we need you more now than ever!!! America is out of control!!! We need you big man !!!!
Leo Peridot your parents must be really proud of you!!!!!!!
Amen!!! There was only one John Wayne!
Leo Peridot in your case it’s a gender gap.
@Leo Peridot ... You're truly an idiot.... Good luck!
Your right Slick and the proof is in all the roaches crawling out trying to tear down his memory. See above at one of their brave soldiers.
Movie still holds up today as a great movie and more importantly how young men should act. Thanks for having this program for all us western fans
@Leo Peridot then you must be enjoying todays young men. Lord of the Flies seems to be their role model.
This is such a great Western movie. One of the best ever. This was a great cast. I especially loved the cook.
Robert bishop ...Roscoe Lee Browne
"While I have the ability and wherewithall, I simply don't have the time...". One of the best lines ever!!!!
@@dudeinnorthcarolina8173: Colleen Dewhurst as the Madam sure holds her own in those scenes.
If you liked her in this film, you'd love her in "The Last Run" with George C. Scott, at that time her soon-to-be ex-husband.
His prayer before they were going to hang him was awesome. And when the prostitute "offered". He said while he had the desire and wherewithal, he simply didn't have the time. Loved Roscoe
The cook was great and definitely did not take any guff from the Duke.
All John Wayne stuff is legend.
That you so much Mr. Wayne.
For all the entertainment for
All these years..a legend you
Still are. God rest.your soul
I just saw The Cowboys again last night. I love that film. It's a perfect movie.
It's tied for my favorite Wayne film with The Shootist. One night Cowboys was on followed by The Shootist. I was in movie heaven.
Thank you Mr. Carradine.
One of my all time favorite films!!!
John Wayne is one of the greatest American men ever!!!
I LOVE JOHN WAYNE!!!!
The Cowboy's is one of my favorite movies. I was a cowboy in my last life.
Haha...You too??!!
One of my favorite John Wayne films. He was great in it - classic latter day Duke, and I love that he was willing to work with young Rydell. The young cast and supporting cast are also great, and the film really gets dark at times the further it goes - also due to a classic performance by Bruce Dern.
All great characters in this movie. Mr Nightlinger... unforgettable! Loved the book and when the movie came out... was a must see.
The Cowboys is great! 🤠🎬📽🎞🏜🐎 Roscoe Lee Browne was excellent! 🎭.
I was 10 when this movie came out and already a big John Wayne fan. I remember being SHOCKED when Dern killed The Duke as it was the 1st time I'd ever seen him die (Although it almost seems that Sands & Seabee's followed this up in quick order). Being so young when I first saw it made me appreciate the Cowboys and what they were going through. Gotta love Mr. Nightlinger too!
Duke's character dies in seven movies but I never seem to be able to remember more tha five at a time. The Sea Bees movie is one that I always forget. Thanks for the reminder.
I could listen to this ALL day. The Cowboys... Great.... And...... THE LONG RIDERS. Yep.
Robert Carradine is such a fine actor and person to interview. Interesting and Rob you make my day. Please keep doing you Word on Westerns. Makes my day. Thank you.
Thanks, Joyce. You made my day, too.
I do like a lot of his movies, but this is my all time favorite...real quality!
Love hearing about westerns, my favorite actor is John Wayne even though I was only a teenager when he died I've watched his reruns,grown to admire this man,miss him dearly.
I met a man in the early 1990's who served in the US Navy during WWII - I think he retired as a Captain (very nice man who lived in McLean, VA) - well he had a scrapbook - in the scrapbook was a lot of B&W photos of John Wayne with naval officers and seamen. I asked this nice gentleman of his interactions with The Duke - he responded was of utmost respect and admiration for John Wayne! In my humble opinion when John Wayne passed away, Billy Joel wrote the song "Say Goodbye to Hollywood"!
This is one of my all time favorite films. Just a gem on every level. Great interview here....but I'd love to hear a lot more about Robert's experiences on the set. I want to know how the kids interacted with Bruce Dern, who was perfectly cast. Actually that entire film was perfectly cast.
When this film came out, Wayne appeared on the Tonight Show to plug it, and had a few of the kids -- the Cowboys -- on as well, all of them in full costume. One of them was Carradine, and when Carson asked the boys what their first impression of Wayne had been, Carradine repled, "Well, he's awful big." Which got a big laugh.
Some years later, Bruce Dern appeared on Carson and was talking about working with the kids on this film. I recall him saying how there were a "lotta mommas" there on the set. He also told Carson that the boys weren't scared of him (Dern) at first, saying things like "Aw, Bruce is all right. He's not that bad."
Soooo . . . during one take when Dern's character is scaring the boys, he grabbed actor Nicholas Beauvy, held the point of his knife to Beauvy's throat, and said, "Boy, if you swallow, you die."
Scared hell out of Beauvy.
I saw this in the theatre when it came out, probably one of my favorite John Wayne movies. Bruce Dern was equally awesome as the villain.
Tom Jones oh yes
I think there is a joint interview with Martinez & Carradine, they mention Bruce Dern, and the part when he grabs the kid in the river, holds his head under and the knife to the throat, wasn't rehearsed, or more accurately the 'kids' weren’t aware of what happened.
I saw it at the best age: being a kid like those in the movie, and it remains my favorite John Wayne movie
Loved John Wayne and I love the cowboys it's my very favourite movie rip john Wayne we miss you so so much xxxxx
I'm part of your we! I miss him too. they don't make them like Duke anymore!
Love em my dad died an these westerns really bring memories back ..gunsmoke...an especially the long western movies that John wayne .Ford. an the great actors where in back then..they dont make em like that Anymore....GJones
Thank you. Rob for these great memories.
Its a shame that most of the younger ( 30 and below) would never understand the values taught in westerns. That way of life is long gone, and only the older generations remember those days, and we are dieing out.
Edith, we have to be the role models for the next generation by living the values we learned growing up in that era. Its the only way we can have any effect. They may not listen, but they certainly watch.
The Cowboys ranks as one of my all time favorite movies, and certainly my favorite John Wayne movie, where he showed more heart in that movie than in any other I've seen. See it if you haven't !!!!! It's so fantastic, I can't even put words that do it enough justice........
One of the best 70s westerns. Saw it in Newport Beach when it opened. My mom always saw Duke when shopping, but I only saw his son Ethan at the bank (lol) - very quiet, respectful young man. Named my only child Ethan after my fav Duke movie/character in The Searchers. The day Duke died, everybody at work in the tower at Fashion Island went into mourning. And as a military mom, I know the Duke did try to serve in military but was denied for a couple of reasons, so no John Wayne bashing. He really was a wonderful patriotic man.
@April Showers smiling
The first time I saw The Cowboys would have had to have been either on network television or a rented VHS tape, as I don't remember ever going to the movies when I was very young, as there were so many of us and my parents couldn't afford it. But what I do remember is the shock that I felt when John Wayne died in a movie! John Wayne was NEVER supposed to die in a movie! ( I don't think I had seen the Sands of Iwo Jima at the time). That just rocked my world.
My favorite john Wayne classic it was great then and is still great today !
This country could use a lot more John Waynes' to mentor the young men out there.
This country's been on a long downhill slide since June 11th 1979, these so called "men" in Hollywood today are a joke and a bad example to today's boys, like Mark Wahlberg, throwing money at a woman's organization and then running and hiding under a rock just because he had a finger pointed at him without sticking up for himself or fighting back is not only a bad example to young boys but it also sells out their futures as men, Mark Wahlberg needs to listen to the little speach that John Wayne gives to Bobby Vinton towards the end of The Train Robbers, that pretty much sums it up when it comes to being a man in life.
Yeah, he could mentor them on dodging the draft.
@@dukecraig2402 : John Wayne, the man who failed to fight for his country when all his compatriots were, and then lied about it. An example to every Trump supporter everywhere. The Right's hero, no doubt about it.

"Anyone who thinks they could tell John Wayne off never stood face to face with him", Green Beret Lieutenant in 1968 at Ft Benning who had just walked back into his office after an unexpected encounter with John Wayne in the hallway after swearing he would tell him off if he met him.
I'm glad I found this "Word on Westerns" series! This is the 1st, now I need to watch them all!
Don C Well, saddle up, Pilgrim.
This is great! I've had a great tragedy in my family with the loss of my oldest son. I retreat to old TV and western shows and movies for better and simpler times to cope. Thank you Robert Carradine for putting a smile on my face. It don't happen often.
Dude... So sorry for your loss... Blessings to your family...Lost my Brother a while back... You don't get over it, ever, but hopefully, find a way to live with it... Be Well...
When I see him I see my dad they both are so amazing
I am 57 yo. I have list count of how many times I have seen 'The Cowboys' in TV. Every time the Duke is killed, I cannot hold my tears -- even in front of others. I love John Wayne even more than some members of my family ...
Brings back memories went to the drive inn in 72 to see the cowboys with my dad I was 7
I'm 60 years old; however, I remember very well when I saw "The Cowboys" in the theater: Delta, UT, Holidays, 1972. I'm a movie buff, and to this very day it's one of my favorites. So interesting to hear Robert Carradine provide these unique insights. Thanks, Robert . So hard to reconcile "Revenge of the Nerds"....but, that's what great actors do! PS I absolutely love A Martinez as Jacob Nighthorse in 'Longmire", one of my all time favorite TV series. It was cancelled way, way before its time.
My first girlfriend was born on a ranch she rented this movie for us in 1986 I've watched it numerous times since then. Always brings back good memories. Classic.
I will always remember this movie! Its my fav John Wayne movie ti this day. I was around 10, loved John Wayne from watching Westerns with my dad. None of the Westerns we watched, did John Wayne Die.....I was so not expecting or ready for that. I saw the movie in the theater, balled like a baby right there with all the other kids my age watching it as The Duke laid there dying, giving all those boys a pat on the back. It was really something as a young boy, kid.
I never miss these Sunday Words. i worked as a propmaker, mostly for Paramount, for 25 years and still never get tired of these interviews.
Nice👍👍👍 I'll bet you got some great stories.
What are a few of the favorite props you made?
Please do more on The Cowboys-- an all time favorite of the Duke's, Mark Rydell and the cast!
I could've listened to a lot more of Robert Carradine!! Loved all the Carradine's work, from John to David, Keith and of course Robert. Remember The Long Riders? Excellent!! Then he, and Keith both worked with Tom Selleck. Enjoyed listen to him talk about The Cowboys, thanks Rob!!
David Smith Thanks, David. There is an AWOW segment on THE LONG RIDERS with Bobby that’s in our archives. Enjoy!
Likeable.
I saw this film in the barracks theatre in West Germany during my service there with the British Army of the Rhine.
@Leo Peridot Why are you here? Aren't you missing a black lies matter meeting? Go back to drowning puppies, shitrag.
I really miss John Wayne. I was only a kid when he passed but I loved watching his movies with my parents. He was the best and still is the best western actor.
@Leo Peridot do you ever have anything positive to say? or do you just troll to make negative comments? Did a cowboy hurt your feelings when you were little? Do you need a hug or something?
If you miss john wayne bow did you feel when Bruce Dean killed him?
I saw The Cowboys at 17 on release in 1972 and hated it. I'm 65 now and it's one of my all time favorites. How a movie can change so much is beyond me. 😉
All of these are great but this one special. Maybe because of the choice of movie. it was unforgettable.
Love Robert Carradine. What great stories about the Duke, too!!
Love this! Thank you Robert Carradine for the insight to John Wayne & 1 of the best movies!! On my list all time favorites!!! Have a picture on my wall of The Cowboys!!! 1 of a kind!! Slim!!!!❤❤❤
Rob, you maintain the FLAME 🔥 of Western 🎥
FAME 🌟
I'm on fire!
When I was a kid I won tickets on the radio to come to a private prerelease screening of The Cowboys in Hollywood! John Wayne and all of "the cowboys" (young Robert Carradine was there) came out on stage after the screening. It was great, I took my mom who's favorite actor since she was a little girl was John Wayne. Great film BTW.
What a great memory, I bet your mom had a great time!!!
@@donc9751 To this day, I'm her favorite son! LOL
@@Rayvis79 That's so cool, as kids, it's not so often that one might get an opportunity like that that to do something for a parent that REALLY makes them feel good! What's better still, as much as it might make your mom feel good, I'm sure it made you feel even better! I cant think of anything in my life that made me feel better than doing something for my mom or dad that really made them feel good and nothing last longer than memories like those!
@@donc9751 Thank you, Don. It's a special memory for me.... and that I was able to do that for my Mom. I remember that I had to get up real early in the morning to dial into the station, 6:30 AM... I won the last pair of tickets. It was a Friday and the screening was the next day! I remember John Wayne speaking at the podium, and standing at the stage right at his feet. A big deal for an eleven-year-old!!
@Rayvis Did you go on TV and talk about you're experience on a kid's show in Louisville/Canton Ohio?
As usual Rob,
Rich bits of that history, that would be lost to time otherwise !
Thanks again for what you do Rob !
I would have liked some questions about Roscoe Lee Browne, one of the many BIG personalities in that cast.
DaveConleyPortfolio , Roscoe Lee Browne was a favorite actor of mine. Loved his rich voice.
Roscoe had a superb voice!
The Cowboys was a awesome movie. Loved it!
Loved Cowboys- great cast thru out. The Carridines bring westerns alive
I'd love to re this film remade with Harrison Ford & maybe Billy Bob Thorton as the main bad guy.
@@DavidLLambertmobile or Kevin Costner in the Wayne role ( he's old enough), and to keep it PC for todays woke audience, Samuel L. Jackson as the bad guy. 😂
I was 14 when that film debuted. My favorite western since then
Thanks Rob great interview. Such a great history with Robert's father and his brothers in movies and westerns. People forget David Carradine done the Shane series before Kung Fu series. I guess everybody was in awe including his fans of John Wayne.
I remember seeing David on Shane, even though I was pretty young
Another great interview and this is one of the best. Thank you, Rob.
One of my favorites.The smallest boy, was in Cahill,U.S.Marshall as his son.
This was a really good interview, thanks a bunch.
For me , Duke deserve an Oscar for his faboulos work in This beautiful film
I agree. It's still one of my favorites.
Great movie. Duke was great guy.
I really enjoyed this look behind the scenes of a movie I really enjoyed as a kid.
I cried when he died.....John Wayne doesnt die.
I used to know Robert a little bit when I worked at Abercrombie and Fitch in Beverly Hills , just a really nice guy .
good to hear that he's a nice guy in real life!
It is a great western with many great stars and future stars.
Met Bobby Cards one a few years ago. Wonderful, approachable, down to earth man. Fell in love with him. Not at all what I expected.
Loved The Duke!! Will never be another,he made 150 films and got 1 Oscar for “True Grit” Gone But Never Forgotten♥️👍🏼
The Cowboys, one of my fav movies of all time!
I was luckier than Robert, I got to meet Slim Pickens in 1975. He was one of the nicest and friendliest people I have ever met. I DID get his autograph!!!
Great way of honoring the Duke
I grew up on western. I liked the contrast between right and wrong. And you knew the bad guy would reap what he sown. The Duke is my favorite actor, and I don't believe no one has come close to his level yet.
Rob I loved your interview with Robert Carradine. The Cowboys was a really great movie..one of my favorite John Wayne westerns!
Thanks, Linda. That film just keeps getting better with the passage of time. Like all of us western fans!!
My grandfather was an extra on this movie. He had some great stories about Duke and all the kids.
Saw that movie at the drive in movie with my parents and my sister in the back seat. Still one of my all time favorite movies.
I lived in Durango CO, just west of Pagosa Springs (The Cowboys) and south of Ridgeway CO, (True Grit)...
I've been to the place where they filmed the ferry crossing in "True Grit" actually a finger off blue Mesa reservoir and crossed it by boat to hunt mule deer, took a picture and it matches the scene in the film.
cowboys was one of my many favorite westerns
When this first came out and for a while after, I just adored this movie, but then I couldn't watch it anymore. The ending was so sad, that after a while, I couldn't watch, but the other thing was that I read articles about the animals not being treated well and as an animal lover, that made it unwatchable for me. Still, the story was so well done. Those kids did an excellent job. This was a fun video.
*Anyhow he straigtened me out, and I got back on the fence"
Fantastic!
One of my all time favorite of John Wayne movies.
Great interview about a wonderful man and the folks he helped along the way
"The Cowboys " is one of my favorite movies. I liked all of the boys especially Clay Obrien Cooper.
One of my all-time favorite movies.
After seeing the film as a kid, I was so excited to see the short lived tv series. As I recall, DeForest Kelly (Star Trek’s Dr. McCoy) was in one of the episodes. The tv series was fine as it could be without John Wayne, but the movie is one I re-watch often.
Best movie quotes from a bad ass to a punk. " Alright..we've seen what you can do with a boy..but how are you when they come a little bigger"
Love that line!
My favorite John Wayne movie
Excellent thank you for sharing Cheers from Pennsylvania Blessings 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍
Love westerns. Wish they would make more today.

I just love hearing these stories!!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you for another great video. I really enjoy the learning more about the people and shows that I watched growing up.
Rob, I can't tell you how much l enjoy your Show, A Word on Westerns. It's so Important that your taking the time to interview and document so many of these awesome people that are still with us to be interviewed. I thoroughly enjoyed Stefani Power's (whose as beautiful today as she's ever been!!!) and her story about the filming of McClintock and Christopher Mitchum and Robert Carradine were just amazingly entertaining about working with Duke! Keep up the good work Rob!!! Warmest Regard's Doug Ropp
Thanks, Doug. I keep on dropping them every Sunday.
One of John Wayne best . The young cowboys were great in their roles. Got the movie and watch it often .Still don't like Bruce Dern . But IF anybody could pull off killing the Duke He is certainly the one .A GREAT ACTOR in his own right. Thanks for the interview ENJOYED IT. THE DUKE says it all. challon
Rob, thanks for sharing so many wonderful, informative and interesting videos of interviews. Would love to see this particular thread expanded.
Me, too! I talked to Bobby this morning and we will continue this discussion in more depth at the Western Writers of America gathering in Tucson, June 21, 2019.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Carradine Brothers were always one of my fav in the movies
Great movie I actually saw at the theatre with my Dad ….and I think it's the only John Wayne movie where he dies. I remember as a youngster when saw it at the theatre, I cried hard when John Wayne died..
