Good movie, Dern had small part in Once upon a time in Mexico He played the Judge in “All The Pretty Horses” One of his few roles as a good guy. And he played the part really well Also, I always thought his daughter, Laura Dern was pretty hot in her younger days! I remember him playing a lead role as a sort of odd but good guy character in a science fiction movie back in the early '70s titled "Silent Running".

One of John's very best movies.

I loved that movie.Kinda reminded me of my younger days when little boys went out and worked like men.Watermelon fields,hauling hay and those long days working on the farm.We didn't make a lot of money,but it built a lot of character in young men that carried them through life.

This JW movie has always been favorite of mine for some personal reasons. When it was being filed in 1971, IIRC, the cattle drive scenes were actually filmed on a ranch west of Pagosa Springs Colorado where my wife and I were living in our early marriage years. At the time there was a huge hardware store there called Pagosa Hardware and I knew its owner and wife very well. On a Saturday morning I was in there and the owner introduced me to this tall skinny guy who was Bruce Dern. He was very friendly and I saw him a few times later in the month or so that he was in the area, and he always recognized me and called me by name.
One evening a friend and I went down to the Spring Inn located just across the river in the downtown area for a drink. When we walked in there was this huge guy sitting at a table eating a steak and drinking scotch. It was John Wayne. We nodded to him as we walked by and he asked us if we wanted a drink so we sat down with him. He also was a very cordial person. That routine of eating a burnt steak and drinking scotch was a nightly ritual for him and on two other occasions I shared a scotch with "The Man" as he ate his burnt chunk of meat.
Long time ago............... Still a great movie to watch.
It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am.

Saw the movie when I was a kid. Being the shortest kid in class (including the girls), I could relate to the little guy who was able to go on the cattle drive when the chalkboard was lowered.

I watched most of it last night, and though it's not one of my favorite JW movies, it's an undeniable fact that ANY movie that the Duke made is worth watching as far as I'm concerned. I think Wayne was at his best from the late 40's into the mid 60's.
