I assume you do not have any of those "Weird" westerns such as Big Calibre or Riders of the Whistling skull....

I'm a late arrival at the John Wayne Appreciation Campsite. I have some Wayne boxed sets; unless it's in there, I don't have Grit, true or otherwise.

Further explication: I didn't appreciate Mr. Wayne's abhorrent politics during my formative years (still don't, in fact) and avoided most of his films. A few years ago, having seen Stagecoach at a charity event for a theatre restoration and enjoying it a lot, I wondered if I should reassess Wayne's work. Well, watch it for the first time, actually. (I love the Three Mesquiteers, although think the ones where he's part of the trio are the weakest I've seen.) Anyway, I decided to start with The Searchers, which I'd heard was good. I found it to not be good. It's great, one of the great movies I've ever seen, and Wayne is undeniably excellent in it. After that, I can watch him in anything. Rio Bravo is another favorite. Gimme two Johns, Wayne and Ford, and I'm entertained.

This is kinda sorta similar to my feelings about Clint Eastwood. I didn't like him or his pictures until I saw Unforgiven. Now, even when I don't like his pictures, I can appreciate him. Not that I'm standing in line for a revival of Play Misty for Me or Any Which Way You Can, unnerstand.

Maybe our Governator, Herr Arnold, is up for a reassessment next? Should I watch The Running Man again?

Naaaaah....

THE SEARCHERS has what is probably one of the best music scores made for a motion-picture. I bought the DVD release just for the score.

I don't avoid movies because of an actor's politics. I watch movies for the enjoyment. When I watch Gene Autry films, I think of him as a pediphile because of his past with Gail Davis, but I still enjoy some of his movies and never let that distract me from the enjoyment of a film.

Is this true?

I did a quick search & all I could come up with without spending forever looking was that when Autry was old he had a "long-term" relationship with Davis, which apparently was known by Autry's wife but who apparently worked through it.
