    Perhaps the greatest western movie ever was one that never got made. Just imagine how a movie starring both John Wayne and Clint Eastwood might have looked! These two giants of the western genre never worked together so we will never have a chance to see them on screen in the same film.

    Feuds are not uncommon in Hollywood - just think of the bitchiness of the feud between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. The feud between John Wayne and Clint Eastwood was less well-known but nevertheless was real enough.
    In this video we at Facts Verse will outline the careers of these two superstars and try to figure out why they were so opposed to working together.

    Clint was so much more ''classical'' than John in the Greek sense of the word. Clint's westerns were crude like reality but not senseless. Clint made us wonder and think. Wayne's movies were made to entertain families. They were industrial and conceived to make us laugh or cry. Clint - the man with no name - was not caricatural while Wayne's all acting atitude was merely a 'representation'. Kirk Douglas, too, was deep and would have been an excellent 'man with no name'. I miss Kirk...

    The studio kept Wayne from enlisting? The factual story is he requested deferment because, he claimed, his family was dependent on him. His failure to serve greatly annoyed John Ford. Gable and Stewart were far bigger stars than Wayne at the time, but the studios didn't prevent them from serving.

    • @lray1948
      @lray1948 Před 3 lety

      I don't believe Gable and Stewart had "official" children in 1941, Wayne had 3, I believe. Gable had a daughter by Loretta Young but it was not acknowledged at the time and was hushed up as Loretta had taken a leave of absence after making a movie with Gable in 1935 and reappeared later with an "adopted" daughter who grew up to look like Loretta's double.. Much, much later Loretta and her daughter admitted that Gable was the father. Wayne's having 3 kids was certainly a factor in his not being drafted. He was 34 in late 1941 so he was young enough. Gable was 6 yrs older than Wayne and he went off to war. Gable didn't have an official child until 1960, the year he died.

I believe it is one of Clint's best films and bodies of work. It contains everything a good film needs. John Wayne just could never gather ALL of the attributes of a great film in one body of work. He had great films, don't get me wrong, but they were not on the same level as some of Clint's best work.

So as John Wayne became this persona on scene as an upright man, standing for law, order and morals, it's evident where his inspiration came from....BTW I saw John Wayne for real in London in 71/72, my mom and I were just off shot from a balcony fight scene which took place in Kensington Walk, London UK for the film "Brannigan"..

      100% agree Paul. I thought he was a joke in Mc.Q and as Genghis Khan in The Conqueror.. LoL, at least he didn't say "saddle up" in those two.

      Actually, John Wayne played himself (or the persona he imagined he was) every time. However, I do believe that he was at his best in "The Shootist". As for Clint, there are many movies I love, but for some reasons I love his role in "A Perfect World".

    2 different actors. I loved John Wayne's WWII films and the one about a boat captain smuggling people out of China to Hong Kong. I love Clint Eastwoods western and Dirty Harry films.
