Review of The Shootist (1976) by Daniel M — 05 Jul 2009
One of my favorite John Wayne films. How fitting that he was playing a legend dying of cancer, and this was his last movie. Great story by Glendon Swarthout (novel). Great casting. Love Lauren Bacall, Richard Boone, John Carradine, Sheree North, Ron Howard, et al.
Scatman Crothers is the best. Don Siegel does a very good job here. Based on the real life of John Wesley Hardin, but with changes. Wayne couldn't have gone out better. Thanks Duke.
