John Wayne's Playboy Interview....

I love how detailed and specific his introduction to the interview with Playboy was. I was surprised that The Searchers was never mentioned in his introduction because it was such a huge success in his life. I really liked how old fashion he was about his state of mind with the motion pictures business today. He says the business is completely different than it was back when he was at his famous point of his life. I completely agree that the business has changed since he was at his peak. He also thinks that almost every movie deserves to have a little lust and vulgarity in them."No, I don't. Two classic Westerns were better—Stagecoach and Red River—and a third, The Searchers, which I thought deserved more praise than it got, and The Quiet Man was certainly one of the best. Also the one that all the college cinematography students run all the time—The Long Voyage Home." I'm glad he included The Searchers as one of the top movies he has ever done because I also think it has great potential. I love how he has never changed his image and I also love how he doesn't let anything phase him. I also love his fire. He doesn't care what people think and he will tell you exactly what he is thinking. "If I had to do it over again, I;d probably do everything I did. But that's not necessarily the right thing to do." I am a big fan of John Wayne after this interview because I like his spirit and his sense of humor. It will change my way I see him now while watching The Searchers.
