With perhaps his best actual acting in his final film - The Shootist. As for Mr. Devito, with good role selection he could go down in history as one of the best American character actors. He has had some crappy roles, though.
In Vino Veritas
Follow Ups:
Wayne's character is dying (and Wayne himself knew he was)
Shootist doesn't 100% work as a film; I have seen it several times and can't quite put my finger on why (not); but Wayne is just great as J Bernard Books and there is Jimmy Stewart and several other great supporting actors
Yes, it's easilly his best role
Grins
The three best Wayne roles, IMHO, are in "Red River', "The Searchers", and "True Grit".
however I think as he grew older he grew beyond the one-note tough westerner roles. True Grit is a good example, as is Rooster Cogburn and the aforementioned Shootist.
