The pairing of the legendary Chinese tough man Johnon Wayne with a former baby star, Ron Howard, may not seem like the most obvious choice, but the two have made a great duo on the 1976 "The Shootist". Western Don Siegel - based on Glendon's 1975 novel by the same name - saw Wayne playing former Sheriff turned Gunfighter JB Books. The aging of aging is diagnosed with cancer shortly after arriving in the city of Nevada on the tail of the Old West. He then spends the last days taking a young boy without a father under the wing in the form of Gillom Rogers of Ron Howard, much to the disappointment of the mother of the young man who does not want her son to follow the footsteps of a well -known killer.

The film functioned as a kind of metal comment on Wayne's own career and his Hollywood era, which was also the end - though Wayne could not know the "snootist" will be his latest film at the time. By the end of the film, the young guillom seems to reject the violent ways of his mentor at a symbolic moment that felt like Wayne somehow recognized the liquidation of his career and weak popularity of the western part of the mass audience by the mid-1970s. Indeed, the Duke will pass from the cancer of the stomach three years after debuting the "Snowman", making this the last Western and final film as a whole.

Then it's a good thing Howard had a chance to work with the legend on the screen before it's too late, especially from Wayne learned Howard a very important lesson during his time together on the "Sagittarius". But their relationship has surpassed their collaboration on the screen. "Sagittarius"-During which Wayne fought behind the scenes - He debuted on modest success in box office and critical recognition, and the couple remained friends afterwards, to the point that the Duke actually had a plan for what their next project could be. Unfortunately, that project was never implemented before Wayne died.

Long before playing alongside Johnon Wayne in "Snow", Ron Howard made his name as a children's Starwar, especially playing Taylor on the TV series in the 1960s "Andy Griffith Show". After playing a leading role in George Lucas's "American graffiti" in 1973, Howard increased his profile even more by Richie Cunningham in the "happy day" sitcom. He made his debut in the 1974 series, playing a beautiful but boring colleague of Arthur Fonzarelli by Henry Winkler. The young actor remained with the huge popular series next to the beginning of season 8 in 1980 (although he returned as a guest later in the show). It was during his time of "happy days" then, that Howard worked for the first time with Johnon Wayne, learning how much of the artist really was at "Snow" and seemingly leaving enough impression to man that he has developed plans for another collaboration.

In an interview in 2023 with Graham fuelHoward remembered how he ran to Wayne after the "Sagittarius" was released. "We crossed the dinner of dinner in Afi in honor of Henry Honda," he explained. "I saw him and he said," I found a book. I want to do it in a movie and I and I or I are. "Howard continued to explain how Wayne's illness and health were known at the time, adding" It was really really shaken at first to see that he still had that plant, but also knowing that he wanted to work together again, which meant a lot to me.

Howard did not elaborate on the project during this interview, but at the time of his death, the Duke has already bought the rights of Buddy Atkinson's novel "Beo Johnon". Former Beverly Hilbilis writer completed his novel and before even Wayne's production company Batjac Production was released, he grabbed his rights. The story turned around a family in a small town of Kentucky during the 1920s, and would see the Duke playing Patriarch in what was a more easy project for which the actor was usually known. There would also be several generations of family, including son, son -in -law and nephew, and Wayne had in mind Howard for one of these roles. In the book of Scott Aiman "Johnon Wayne: Life and Legend", "" However, Howard is quoted as saying that the adaptation "never gone through the verbal phase", adding: "At that moment, (Wayne) showed signs that it was not good. I was a little suspicious."

How well, Johnon's "Beau John" adaptation will appear, will remain a mystery forever, but at least Ron Howard will always know that the Duke had a soft point for him. Howard discussed his relationship with the late actor during the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival (through The Huffington Post) where he explained how things started to go down to the "Sagittarius" - what remains one of Johnon Wayne's best movies - But he eventually won the Starwar veteran by asking him to lead lines.

According to Howard, Wayne responded to the request, saying, "No one ever asks me to do it." From that point, the two seemed to come together, with Howard also claiming that his television background appealed to Wayne. Said the actor turned into a director Upi"It turned out that my television background was something he really behaved because they were the Western version to be a television actor. He felt like that kind of background, one person would know how to do it." However, Wayne was clearly impressed by his younger colleague, which is confirmed by the fact that he was planning to make another movie with him. Since the "shooter" was well accepted by critics, however, it may be the best that this was the only co -operation of the duo.
