What can you say about this one? Wayne gives us a sendoff like only he can, and brings along a lot of great old friends for the ride (Richard Boone, Bill McKinney, etc.) One of the most satisfying final showdowns in a western, too. 8/10.

The widescreen video is just a tiny bit "stretched", but picture and sound are otherwise just great.

In MHO the movie Wayne should have gotten a Oscar for.

This is the one with Ron Howard, Lauren Bacall, Jimmy Stewart, and Harry Morgan, right?
Oh and I almost forgot Scatman Crothers.

Great Movie.

Correction: It’s “JB Books” not “JB Brooks.”

One of my all-time favorite movies.

John Bernard “J. B.” Books was the name of the character. Ref:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shootist

Clint Eastwood’s character in ‘Gran Torino’ reminded me a little of this movie.

I wont be wronged, I wont be insulted, and I wonr be laid a hand on. I dont do these things to others, and I require the same from them.

What a perfect movie to end his career on. Jimmy Stewart was great too.
