Sententiae: Can't resist

Another John Wayne flick, with an unintentionally creepy movie poster.
Something is wrong with that poor kid.

Is she a hostage? Or what?

At 03 October, 2010 00:22, The Old Man said...: Conventional thought is that John Wayne couldn’t act and was “just playing himself.” My theory is different. If you see his early movies you know that he couldn’t act then. I think that he did learn to act on the “tough male” parts and liked the adoration that the person got so much that he never got out of character, and adopted that persona for himself.

And, yes, George Hayes is Gabby Hayes. I believe his roles in 'Stagecoach' and 'The Searchers' are considered real acting.

Makes you wonder what he was doing in those other 2,000 or so films he made.
