TCM.com hasn't said anything, but the message board regulars noticed.

Moreover, The Searchers is in the prime 8pm slot.

Watching Rio Bravo again (fourth time?), I'm struck by John Wayne's beautiful serenity. He's always observing the other characters, as an actor and as Chance. He's relaxed but wary. His best performance.

yes! a very thoughtful performance in a fairly rambunctious movie

I got into a dispute with a friend in the neighborhood yesterday when he told me that he never watches “those kind of Westerns,” because John Wayne was “a cartoon” and “not cool like Clint.”

I finally remembered that he had actually gone to film school but seemed to be one of those Film Bros we have talked about.

But not after I had already started to go full-on Ethan Edwards on him, saying “Maybe not according to what you believe, but according to what that Comanche believes!”

I misquoted it slightly. Time for another rewatch soon I guess.
