From 1971,THE COWBOYS finds our guy,The Duke, as an aging rancher who must hire 11 young boys to help him on a 400 mile cattle drive. He’s tough and gruff, but really has a way with the kids,(only The Duke can cure a boy’s stuttering in less than 2 minutes!), and soon finds himself acting as both trail boss and father to the group. The drive is rough for all and has the added suspense of some bad hombres led by Bruce Dern who are out to rustle The Duke’s cattle.
Wayne, who by this time, just awed us with his on screen presence, turns in a touching performance and if it was up to me, would have recieved an Oscar for this role. Dern is the baddest of the bad as he goes after our hero. The film is not short on talent, Directed by Mark Rydell, it includes Roscoe Lee Brown, a young A. Martinez, and a small but meaty part for the wonderful Colleen Dewhurst. A nice widescreen presentation, the picture and color were good but seemed just a little dated to me.The sound remastered in DD 5.1 is fabulous. There’s a great documentary included. The Breaking of Boys and The Making Of Men, talks about how the boys were selected, and how they trained for their parts. There are 13 (count em ..13) trailers of Wayne films from the 30’s through the 70’s, informative production notes, and has languages and subtitles in English and French.

Collector’s of Wayne may find it more economical to purchase the John Wayne Collection set. Included with this fabulous film are two greats directed by John Ford, THE SEARCHERS, and STAGECOACH. Spanning 30 years of his career, it’s a wonderful selection.
Saddle up and enjoy the ride…
Happy Trails…..Laurie
Oldies but Goodies with The Duke:
Shadow of the Eagle
His Private Secretary
John Wayne
I’m puzzled by the negative reviews (vide supra). If the story’s a little thin, then the acting more than makes up for it. John Wayne and Roscoe Lee Browne lead a cattle drive across the West with the aid of the only help they could find, schoolboys. They are trailed by some bad guys. So much for the story. But Wayne and Browne give superb performances, truly, and the boys more than hold up their end. Bruce Dern’s a memorable villain who gets his. (Wayne is shot 1 hr., 50 min. into the picture–certainly not “early on”!) I rate this movie 4 stars because, sure, “Stagecoach” and “The Searchers” and the U.S. Cavalry trio rank higher; but 4 stars on the Wayne scale ain’t too shabby. One day the world will come around to the realization that John Wayne was one of the greatest screen actors ever to walk through Hollywood.
