In Reply to: My second favorite western too....right behind The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance... posted by TWB on July 28, 2006 at 00:04:37:
But for me The Searchers just has so much, and is certainly the one film that JW did for which he deserved an Oscar, as much as I like True Grit - and the highly emotional race on the pony at the end.The sub-text and subtlety is so well done in The Searchers. Is the 'niece' really his daughter? I certainly think so. The wife's fondling of his coat; his obsessive pursuit of Debbie; His prolonged absence after the war.
Such a good supporting cast, with Ward Bond at his best, neatly turning from drama to humour and finally pathos.
But I do think the L.V. is a great movie, and have to say that I prefer Jimmy Stewart to JW as an actor.
Two fine films by a distinguished director.
