Movie Reviews of The Shootist
Movie Review: A Legend Passes
Summary: 5 Stars
"I won't be wronged, I won't insulted, I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to others and require the same of them." Books credo and a fitting finale to a long and legendary career. Once there were giants. Wayne, Cagney, Cooper, Hepburn, Grant, Gable, Flynn, Bogart, all gone. We shall not see their like again. Wayne, undoubtably the most popular movie star of all time ( He was number one at the box office 21 times -- Gary Cooper did it 18 and Clint Eastwood 17), after a career of classic films in the 1940's and 50's, some routine oaters in the 1960's and early 1970's -- broken up by TRUE GRIT -- the Duke ends his career (though he didn't know at the time) with a movie that eerie reflect of the man and his life.
Summary of The Shootist
The last film of John Wayne could not have been more fitting, full of details that can't help but make one reflect upon his legacy in the movies and his life as a star. Wayne plays a career gunfighter in the autumn of his life, trying to hang up his pistols after he discovers he's dying of cancer. Boarding in the house of an attractive widow (Lauren Bacall) and her son (Ron Howard), Wayne's character opts for peace in his final days but is dogged by his reputation when a handful of killers seeks him out for a final fight. Howard is fine as a fatherless boy who needs the strong mentor the hero represents, and James Stewart--who costarred with Wayne in the great Man Who Shot Liberty Valance--plays the doctor who gives the big man the bad news. Don Siegel (Invasion of the Body Snatchers) thoughtfully directs a very special and sensitive production. --Tom KeoghA dying gunman returns to his friend for medical care in his last days, but becomes involved with a widow and her son, eventually dying with honor in a final gunfight.
