Johnon Wayne was one of the biggest movie stars in the history of the media, but because he ruled during the 1940s, the 1950s, and some of the 1960s, he was not a user of film work with a franchise. This was a blessing, because Allowed allowed the Starvist to entrust its rough brand of heroism to excellent directors like Johnon Ford, Howard Fox and Don Siegel, all free to mix their personality in reason, until they were emphasized in the current narrative nail polish. Take a look at this way: instead of Wayne and Ford make a series of films by Ringo Kid after Stagecoach's success in 1939, They were able to re -possess the original stories such as "Fort Apache", "she wore a yellow strip" and "demands", causing the duke of playing different types of hard men who face different types of dilemmas.

When Wayne finally won the Academy Award for The best actor in 1969 for "Real Grit", His portrayal of an alcoholic American Marshall Cock Kogbern feels like a career summary. Kogburn is good during his prime minister in the film, but when the chips is down, he is still a deadly man as it exists in the West. Since the film was smeared at the box office, and the adaptation of Marguerer Roberts to Charles Portis's novel avoided the melancholy that ends in favor of the highest final, legendary producer Hull B. Wallis realized that one sequel was fine. Sequels rose more frequent in the 1970s, and were supposed to become more prevalent in the 1980s, so why not give the film faces a second help to this character that they loved the first time outside? Since Wayne was struggling to connect with the audience during the new Hollywood era, it seemed as a good deal for everyone involved.

The cock-prowel was short-lived.

While Paramount distributed "True Grit", the rights of the proposed sequel to Wallis, "Cock Kogburn" (original scenario inspired by Portis), were set to Universal. Wallis hired his wife, actor Martha Hayer, to write the script (under the pseudonym Martin Jululien) and brought long -time producer Stuart Millar to the ship as a director. Most importantly, he landed Catharine Hepburn to co-Starval with Wayne as Spinster Miss Eul Good Night, which comes with Kogburn on a mission to recover a stolen shipment of nitroglycerin.

With Wayne and Hepburn quarreling around the world as they gradually come to respect each other, Cock Kogburn plays as a riff of Hon Huston World War I adventure "African Queen" (who paired Hepburn with Humphrey Bogart). It is an effective formula, but between the weak direction of Millar and Hayer Jo-Hum Bentter, Starswoles are constantly struggling to make the film be seen. When Coel Kogburn made a disappointing $ 18 million with a $ 10 million budget, the US Film Journey seemed to have ended.

Maybe the television series will fit Wayne's cock better?

Although it is unlikely that Wayne would be interested in taking over a television series, his rapidly declining health made his decision on him. Western "Sagittarius" of Don Siegel in 1976 "Sagittarius" Bee is the last film of the Duke (he died three years later), which released the role of a different kind of genre icon, Warren Outs, to set the rotation of it.

ABC's "True Grit: ABC" aired on the network in 1978 as made for television that, if popular, will turn into a series. Unfortunately, enough viewers were not involved, which wrote the crash of "Kogburn's Safe". The play will use the story of "Real Grit" as her spine, with Lisa Pelican teenager, Matthey Ross, trying to bring the marshal back to straight and narrow. This is probably the best, as OTS was a heavy drink itself and may not have been cut off for the rigor of shooting all season on television (he died of a heart attack at the age of 53 in 1982).

This proved to be the end of the cock-prowel, though you may be aware that Elloel and Ethan Cohen took a crack in Portis's novel in 2010 and rejoiced with an instant classic with knockout. Best of all, Haile Steinfeld. Fortunately, Coens and the bridges expressed zero interest in reviewing the character of Cock Kogburn.
