Line 27:
* [[End of an Age]]: both in the film as Carson City is entering the Twentieth Century with electric lights and automobiles signaling the end of the Wild West as we know it; and on a serious meta-level as being the last John Wayne Western EVER signaling an end to the clear morality of Right and Wrong that Wayne's Westerns created.
* [[The Gunfighter Wannabe]]: Gillom.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: given the buzz that this was going to be Wayne's final Western, a few cameos were in order. [[Jimmy Stewart]] and [[John Carradine]], aging veterans of Westerns themselves as well as Wayne's buddies, were cast at Wayne's insistence. This would also end up being Stewart's last live-action role in a Western as well.
** And of course over here there's Col. Potter as a jerkass town marshal.
** It's [[The Andy Griffith Show|Opie]] as the teenaged Gillom!
