This is the last picture of a golden era Hollywood star. John Wayne in his last film, and how fitting it should be a western.
The Shootist is about a surviving old gunslinger who knows he is dying. So he sends a letter to several outlaws (that somehow escaped the long arm of the law) to meet him at this town, where they are to have a final word with each other.
Between the time that John Wayne arrives and the time this final chapter of his life ends their is a wonderful story that is told.
The cast is excellent! Even My wife who never really cared for westerns liked the movie, I will not say anymore rent it and watch it! kariokebob
