Title: Bittersweet but factual film about the Duke's downfall, a dying gunslinger, because of cancer...
Product review: Really a three-and-one-half starfilm on normal 1-4 star rating scale.John Wayne's last film; he succumedto cancer (35 yrs. of smoking) one-and-a-half-yrs. later. Story of dyinggunslinger in his last thros of life,still trying to live life out butyounger men and old rivals stillwant his scalp. Becall is window-dressing. Finally 'The Duke' getsto work with fine Director Don Siegel(Dirty Harry/Play Misty For Me andone more with Clint Eastwood. Comesoff very realistic. Not for the light-hearted. Wayne knew in real life thiswould be his last film. Quite a JohnnyCash-('03'I Hurt')like statement here.
