I have been watching the Duke’s movies over of late and am quite taken by the sympathy they show for the Indians who were often portrayed as a noble people which wound up in the way of an irresistible progress and lying, grafting politicians. Of course, the “Undefeated” is an exception in which he hates Indians. But it brings to mind the inevitable Leftist Lies about his character painting him as a racist and jingoist.

Just saw one of the lesser ones “Hondo” last night - very good. Funny how he uses the dog in that one like in “Big Jake”.

You may be thinking of “The Searchers” in which he plays a “racist” avenger - some consider it his finest performance. Now in “Hondo”, he plays a half-breed. My favorite of his films is “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.”
