Review of The Shootist (1976) by Justin — 26 Feb 2009
John Wayne's final screen appearance is a low-key examination of a faded legend trying to live out his last days in peace. Tragically his reputation as a deadly gunslinger leads to a more violent conclusion than he had hoped for.
Jimmy Stewart and Lauren Bacall add excellent support to Wayne's finest and most underrated performance.
