Hold on there pilgrim, can't go along with you on that one.In no shape or form is the racist driven Ethan  Edwards from The Searchers equal compare to Captain Brittles aging Calvary leader from She Wore A Yellow Ribbon.  Nor is Tom Doniphon of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence a man who is being left behind in more ways than one the same person Quite Man's haunted former prizefighter the same person as the dying gunfighter of The Shootist.  I stand by the statement, that John Wayne did what he did in such a simple easy manner you could not catch him "acting".
