Wonderful film with a view of humanity that is complete crap: don’t ask for help, even when you need it; don’t say you love someone, even when you do. If you just act tough, everything will work out in the end. What bullshit!
The characters are caricatures; reducible to the nicknames each is given. But they are deep caricatures, having only one note but a note that reverberates deeply like the sound of a gong being struck.
John Wayne imposes him masculinity on the screen; truly remarkable the way he dominates everything around him, even at 50+ years old.
