The Shootist 1976

One of the final films done by John Wayne. Ironically the main character is dying from colon cancer while Wayne was dying from stomach cancer. The supporting cast is impressive with Lauren Bacall, Ron Howard, James Stewart, Richard Boone and Henry Morgan - along with many others - providing excellent performances. A dying shootist (gunfighter) has one last fight in him as he goes out guns a’blazing. An 8 out of 10

It surprises me that is is viewed as a classic. John Wayne gives a pretty good performance and it’s always a pleasure to see Lauren Bacall but there are some very clichéd character actor performances and the plot has few surprises

Lauren Bacall’s performance was excellent but some pretty terrible minor character roles (the sheriff and the journalist) made it hard to fully immerse myself in the film....
