"...holkey plot and sub plots involving romances and rivalries and heavy drinking..."
Yeah...just like every movie Wayne made (until True Grit)! BTW, you left out standard brawl between buddies.Looking back, its amazing how the public (including a pre-adolescent me) flocked to these mindless John Wayne clunkers for 20 years in the 50s & 60s. The only things that changed between all those cookie-cutter Hawks-Wayne movies were the sets and costumes...occasionally. I couldn't sit through them now.

"hokey plot and sub plots involving romances and rivalries and heavy drinking..."Yeah...just like every movie Wayne made (until True Grit)"Wouldn't you say that "red River" and "The Searchers" are exceptions to this? Along with his performance in "True Grit" I consider these exceptionally fine roles fro Wayne.
"The Searchers" was directed by John Ford. "True Grit" was directed by Hathaway. I was surprised to see, though, that "Red River" was indeed directed by Hawks. All three were great films showing Wayne could really act with the right material. Too bad he spent most of his career making fluff.I may have been too harsh on Hawks...he had no monopoly on those typical and forgetable "John Wayne" westerns and adventure flicks of the 50s-60s.
You wrote "...just like every movie Wayne made", not every movie Wayne made with Hawks.
Sheesh. Its film forum, not sworn testimony.
