Duke's last is valiant, underplayed western.
January 13, 2007
John Wayne's very last film, an elegy for a dying cowboy, expresses the essence of his screen image, while borrowing elements from his own life.
July 21, 2003
Effective swan-song for Wayne.
August 04, 2001
A true must-own
January 19, 2006
That rare film where a star and an audience get to say goodbye to each other.
