Product Information
John Wayne, in his last film appearance, stars as famed gunfighter J.J. Brooks. After learning from Dr. Hostetler (James Stewart) that he's dying of stomach cancer and has no more than two months to live, he moves into a boarding house in Carson City run by Bond Rogers (Lauren Bacall) and her son, Gillom (Ron Howard), to die quietly. But when word gets around that the old gunslinger is in town, curiosity seekers come out of the woodwork to get a look, and the ridiculous local marshal (Henry Morgan) contemplates a showdown with the legend. Annoyed by the attention and realizing that if he waits long enough, he'll die in great pain, Brooks decides to seek out his enemies and go down with guns blazing. Yet he works to persuade the hero-worshiping Gillom to foreswear the life of violence he's led. Director Don Siegel fashions a poignant, gracious farewell to the great star, who, like his character, was dying of cancer as the film was being shot. A stellar cast, which includes Western stalwarts such as Richard Boone, Hugh O'Brian, John Carradine, and Johnny Crawford, adds much to the film's resonance. As much a meditation on the burden of celebrity as an elegy for the Old West, it's most revealing in its star's final renunciation of violence.Product Identifiers

Shootout at the Metripole Salloon
I must still be a kid at heart. I still watch these old shows. This one is from 1976 when I was a junior in high school. This is the "final ride" of the character JB Books. His last shootout was finished off by his friend Gillom Rogers played by Ron Howard (Richie Cunningham). Gillom tries to save Books by shooting his attackers but its too late. After Books sees that Gillom avenges the shootings against Books, Gillom gets a nod of approval from Books. It's too bad that Books dies but Gillom is the real hero when he comes to the aide of Books. Really a good show.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
