There is never a day that can't be improved by watching one of The Duke's films. A better actor than a lot of his critics gave him credit for, he really came to represent the American Ideal as represented by the West. I can't count the number of times I've watched El Dorado, Rio Bravo, Rio Lobo, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, The Searchers, Hondo, McLintock!, Big Jake, and of course, True Grit. So many other great films, too many to list. We have had more than a few great actors since he walked off the stage, but no one has had the impact on the American psyche that he had.
See you later pilgrims!
