John Wayne Explains It For You

I just watched a movie called "Without Reservations".

Claudette Colbert plays an author who has written a bestseller and is looking for an unknown to cast as the lead.

She runs into John Wayne on a train to Hollywood and is smitten.

She sees him as the protagonist in her "progressive" novel. She comes just short of saying "New World Order".


John Wayne sets her straight.

    Nice find. I've not seen this before. You forgot to even include the name "without reservations" on your youtube entry. Including the year would be nice too.

    The lieutenant sitting next to Colbert is played by Don DeFore. He didn't have many lead roles. This is an exception: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Happened_on_5th_Avenue, about as Leftist as could be, but still a fun movie.

    Don DeFore was a good actor, never really got the leads, that's right.

    Colbert and Wayne; great combination! And I LOVE what he said to her; he was such a patriot and never suffered fools gladly! Oh, could we use HIM NOW!

      Scherie loved the movie.
      It had bit parts of Jack Benny, Cary Grant and it's a romantic comedy.

      Don DeFore played a pretty good second fiddle/straight man to Shirley Booth's "Hazel" back in the early 1960's. Remember "Mister B?"

    Wayne does well as a comedic actor.

    Too bad he never really got a strong comic script after this.

      I can't think of one.
      Although, Rooster Cogburn could be wryly funny.

      Yeah, he had to walk a line there. Good performance.

    And, then they killed the Indians and lived happily ever after with their Manifest Destiny.

      Well you're practically parsimonious with unbiased judgment before lobbing sarcasm anyway.

      There was some history on both sides.
      His point not being anti indigenous peoples, but how we deal with adversity, eh?

    "Thanks God. We'll take it from here." Love the Duke. My favorite might be his last. That's a tough call though.

    Yeah ... but sadly, we do not have that kind of country anymore. Instead, we have something created by jerkoffs like Ducky —the kind where the government demands that we fill out form X277, and if we don’t, then they’ll send the IRS over to help themselves to our bank account.
