Good Adventure Movie with Wayne and Bacall from Wild Bill: This is one movie I can watch over and over again. When the boat steams up and starts rolling down the river it's non-stop adventure. Nothing, I mean nothing is going to stop John Wayne from delivering the people of a Chinese village to freedom from the grips of the Communists. Director William (Wild Bill) Wellman once again delivers. Don't forget William Wellman because he was one of our best directors. I think it's time that he gets some recognition for his great body of work.
also WAKE OF THE RED WITCH: Last saw Blood Alley on tv long, long, ago. I didn't even know it was available on video, but I will pick this up soon to add to my library. A good action movie. I THINK John Wayne also died in Wake of the Red Witch. Can we say that he 'died' in "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"? 3/10/2004 JULY 2003? time sure flies. Just got the VHS (was looking for DVD, can't find). Great, better than I remember from tv. Not just action, there's commentary, and some of the Chinese characters are sooo stereo typed. Note the Chief Engineer is Nisei (2nd gen Japanese American, see GO FOR BROKE i think).
He has died in 4: John Wayne also died in the Fighting Seabies
Update: A viewer from Indiana: John Wayne has died in three movies: 1) The Cowboys, 2) The Alamo, and 3) The Shootist. Have not seen the movie but have just purchased it.
Great John Wayne Flick: I saw this a couple of times on TV. It's a fine action movie. One review here suggests to get it on DVD-wisescreen, but I can't find where any such version was made. VHS is the only choice.
