This was my grandas favourite movie. He passed away a couple weeks ago and he watched this movie over and over coming up to the moments he took his last breath.
Nothing like a John Wayne Film. The duke is the best. I would rather watch all of the oldies on the GRIT Channel than the garbage hollywood is currently producing. Nothing like an Old Western. I think I will go watch a John Wayne Movie right now. CAN YOU STILL KEEP GOING ON!!! Thank You John Wayne for all of the quality American Entertainment!!
One of the great movie opens! That's William Conrad (1920-1994), the first marshall Dillon on radio and a WWII fighter pilot. His great voice narrated the classic television cartoon adventures of 'Rocky and Bullwinkle' (1959-1964) - and 'The Fugitive' (1963-1967). He also starred among other shows in the legal drama 'Jake and the Fatman' (1987-1992). He also directed numerous popular TV shows like 'The Rifleman.'
Still love this movie. Geoff Deuel as Billy... a star-studded cast... and that final fight between Chisum and Murphy, which always reminds me of two old range bulls butting heads!
Those two, (J. Wayne, F. Tucker) just continued that 'dust-up' they had in the movie, "The Sands of Iwo Jima"! And in the case of "Chisum"! There wasn't any 'officer' to break it up!

No Picture House Around Where I Live, Not One All Demolitioned, How About Where You Live,!????? Best regards Stay Safe And Well Healthy 👍🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴🏴🇬🇧🏴🏴,
In addition to film and television acting, directing and producing, Conrad was also a versatile voice actor; he was the original Marshall Matt Dillon in "Gunsmoke" on radio (1952-61); he also did extensive voice-work in many other series from radio's golden age, such as "Escape" (1947-54), as well as others (often under a pseudonym). As Bill Conrad, he was the narrator of "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show" on T.V. (1959-64). A quick web search will take you to the complete "Gunsmoke" and "Escape" series, available at the Internet Archive. Conrad was also one of the two assassins of Burt Lancaster's character at the beginning of Lancaster's 1946 debut film, "The Killers" (the other was gravel-voiced veteran character actor Charles McGraw).
Don´t think that the movie was particularly great, but that Intro is really something special, with Dominic Frontiere´s epic music, William Conrad´s recitation and, of course, John Wayne/Chisum watching over his land from the top of the hill like God contemplating creation. Too bad that the rest of the movie didn´t really live up to that.

Spectacular was the Way each Western johndra Movie used too Start Out. This particular one was an Excellent example of That. And it just seemed so fitting that was how they First gave the impression of John Chisum, who actually was an American Icon of the Late 1800s American West. This Film was a Stellar and just Outstanding Picture. Thank You for just the Theme Song. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲.
Stupenda pellicola basata, non so se romanzata o meno, sulla vera storia della guerra della contea di Lincoln e su Giovanni Chisum, non è chissà che cosa come pellicola ma comunque piacevole, ci sono degli errori come il fatto che Enrico Tunstall aveva solo 25 anni quando fu assassinato nel 1878, quindi stupenda e stupenda per me come valutazione è 8.
An excellent movie,although filled with historical inaccuracies.John Wayne might have gotten an Oscar nomination for this had he not won for True Grit a year before.
Really they showed John Wayne movies in school as part of History class? Wow that's cool. I didn't think they did that. I thought they stuck to Historical books. Instead of movies.
Now the wind blow slowly in you can't help Thinkin of the things you left behind but you got a gamble on this new horizon That's how a lot of RU-vidrs feel thanks to this Coppa nonsense and the new terms of service that they can delete your channel if it's not profitable Susan wojcicki go demonetize yourself
This film is somewhat entertaining, but, like many of Wayne's later movies (e.g. The Alamo, True Grit, The Shootist, El Dorado, Big Jake), it suffers from predictability and preachiness. Most of The Duke's earlier films (such as She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, The Searchers, Rio Bravo, and especially Red River) were actually a WHOLE lot better.
The searchers was one of the most predictable John Wayne films I have seen. Right down to scar being a white guy painted brown lmao. Big Jake & The Shootist deserve higher praise than what you've given them.
