The Shootist: Difference between revisions

Note: the legend that Wayne [[Real Life Writes the Plot|was dying from cancer in real life]] is just that, legend. The cancer he had from earlier was in remission. The truth was ''[[The Shootist]]'' was his planned farewell to Westerns: he had hopes of starring in more films such as detective roles he started taking earlier in the decade. It was just that he suffered other illnesses that prevented him from making more movies, and it wasn't until three years later that the cancer came back [[Manly Tears|to take The Duke at last]].
