Just keep in mind Wayne's acting in the last two scenes of "The Searchers." I don't want to reveal the ending to anyone who hasn't seen this movie, but let me remind you that when Godard saw the film, the next to last sequence changed every long-held opinion he ever had about John Wayne. He said his heart was filled with love for Wayne!Now, Robert Mitchum in "Cape Fear"? I agree, that's a vicious, psychotic thug! And don't forget Richard Widmark! What was the name of the film where he pushed the old woman in the wheelchair down the stairs? That almost defines vicious and psychotic!
