Paul MacInnes: Would Marlon Brando have been flogging a dead horse on QVC?

23 Dec 2008 01:51:57 PST

Written by Paul MacInnes
Many of the best Hollywood stories, like John Wayne chasing Dennis Hopper around the Paramount lot with a loaded revolver, the nocturnal habits of Richard Gere's pet gerbil, or Frank Sinatra securing a part in From Here to Eternity, have an air of the apocryphal about them.

LET'S GO BLOG WILD: I came along just in time to witness the death of The Western in the '70s. John Wayne died after making "The Shootist" and, when I was a kid, it was hard to know who to cheer for in morally murky oaters such "High Plains Drifter" and "McCabe and Mrs. Miller."

DVD Review: The John Wayne Film Collection Box Set

From an acting point of view he seems uninterested but this isn’t a film about character it about making a political statement. Big Jim McLain makes Wayne’s The Alamo and The Green Bere...
