>I always hated how a John Wayne movie always had to have some teenie bopper in it. It always ruined a great story.

Try The Searchers. I don’t recall a teeny bopper messing up that one at all. A properly grim story and Wayne as his grimmest.

See my post #30. Agree this was a pure western true to the novel. Great book BTW. When Wayne work with Ford the westerns were great. Later on, not so much.

The Searchers is the definitive post-war Western and Wayne at his finest. Of course, the definitive pre-war Western is Stagecoach, also featuring Wayne at his finest.
