That's what made it funny - there was no good reason for it like the Three Stooges. Really funny, like "I have no patience for this" Bang! I heard that Reagan who loves films awarded Wayne a warrior media even though he never went to war. We all knew Reagan only did films for WWII for much more value... The longstanding myth was he gave John Wayne a medal for war. It turns out, not only is it not true ("a lie travels half way around the world before the truth puts on its boots") it's not actual https://dukewayne.com/index.php?thread/2676-congressional-medal-of-honor/<br /><br />Anyway, I've never seen a John Wayne movie through the end. Each Christmas, you better believe a Dean Martin Christmas album is in the mix.

As I am sure you recall, Westerns were extremely popular in the 50s, both on the big screen and the small. Rio Bravo boasts an all star cast that includes some of my favorites like Walter Brennan, whom I watched a few years later on television as Grand-pappy Amos McCoy, plus crooner Dean Martin and teenage rock 'n' roll idol Ricky Nelson.<br /><br />Thanks for mentioning High Noon along with Rio Bravo. Volumes have been written about the key difference in the way the two stories were handled and how they exemplify the deep division that existed in America at the time and still exists today. <br /><br />Thank you very much, dear friend BB, and thank you for leaving such a kind and caring comment on my blog in memory of Margaret. <br /> Kathleen has written a response to it. We are grateful!
