John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and Dean Martin reminded me of many of the men in my dad's family from that 1 1/2 generations. Gruff, ornery, lived large and left a big void with lots of stories when they were gone.
There was a steel in men back then that a lot of people do not like seeing displayed today.

Rooster Cogburn: When's the last time you saw Ned Pepper?
Emmett Quincy: I don't remember any Ned Pepper.
Rooster Cogburn: Short feisty fella, nervous and quick, got a messed-up lower lip.
Emmett Quincy: That don't bring nobody to mind. A funny lip?
Rooster Cogburn: Wasn't always like that, I shot him in it.
Emmett Quincy: In the lower lip? What was you aiming at?
Rooster Cogburn: His upper lip.

Although I think "Red River" was Wayne's best, "The Man Who Shot Libety Valance" was a close second and imo the most under-rated.
Just about everyone lists Red River as a great one but TMWSLV. was also one fine movie.

Sadly, there are too many people who catch a glimpse of that kind of steel and turn their head away. It is easier for them to pretend that it doesn't exist.
