Perhaps the greatest western movie ever was one that never got made. Just imagine how a movie starring both John Wayne and Clint Eastwood might have looked! These two giants of the western genre never worked together so we will never have a chance to see them on screen in the same film.

Feuds are not uncommon in Hollywood - just think of the bitchiness of the feud between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. The feud between John Wayne and Clint Eastwood was less well-known but nevertheless was real enough.
In this video we at Facts Verse will outline the careers of these two superstars and try to figure out why they were so opposed to working together.

Clint may be old, but John is dead.
Clint for me. Both good at what they’ve done but Clint was just simply a more exciting and watchable character for me.
Clint is clearly a balanced personality and more accomplished as an actor and a director. Salutes to Clint
I loved John Wayne and Clint Eastwood both. I can't choose between them. I loved Rooster Cogburn, as much as I loved Unforgiven. They were both classics.
John Wayne was a jealous, racist fraud...
@@TruthHurtzandHealz Woke !
@@jcoker423 Gotta call it what it is...
@@TruthHurtzandHealz was Clint Black? 😂
@@nenadcubric2663 don't be an idiot.. Lol
Wayne established the standard, Eastwood enhanced it. Both great.
Too many roosters in the henhouse, two great actors with different styles, let’s just leave it at that
geoffrey, that nailed it
Agree,just two different styles of the fake Old West.. Like them both :)
Two different acting styles isn't a problem though. They could have done a "cop buddy" type of movie only with Western sherrifs.
Well said
Well people have right to say why and how they think 1 or another is the best its only when people get nasty at each other. So while social media give us the opportunity and with respect to the difference of opinion then i say continue to give opinions if they chose. 😀
John Wayne didn't win the Oscar in 1969 for "The Alamo" (which came out in 1960), he won it for "True Grit."
They didn't need each other. They both were capable of carrying a movie on their own because of their strong physical presence and might a had a clash of egos or ideologies
working together.
agreed look what happened when they tried to make a movie with Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood? we got the forgettable "City Heat"
@@snowblind9065 John Wayne and Agnes Moorehead were both in The Conqueror that movie didn't do well either. Whoever wrote the script to sound like John was in one of his westerns when playing a Mongolian was not a good idea.
That's true ,but I still favor Clint more my era .Duke was more my grandfather's era !
It would’ve been cool!
@@hydrolito they both got cancer
Duke is the undisputed king of the classic western - period. Clint stands for the new western - I like both.
Nope, Charles Bronson in once upon a time and Charles Bronson in Chato's land.
100% John Wayne was the best. Eastwood good Eastwood i preferred as Detective Harry Callaghan.
@@jacobite1017 Bronson was also good but didnt have that out and out Western cowboy a look of a tiny bit wooden. Better at playing film Murphys law and Paul Kershey .
Duke is King
@@scottywayne3601 Yess the real!
John Wayne did not win the Academy Award for “ The Alamo”. He won it for “True Grit”.
Tru Grit is correct. The Alamo, 1960 was a dud.
One of many mistakes in the video.
@@jimcrawford5039 The Alamo probably lead to the Duke's demise. He had a great many problems getting the picture completed. He was under tremendous stress and he smoked several packs of cigarettes a day.
@@kurtb8474 his smoking was a lifetime problem that Duke acknowledged as the cause of his health problems
@@kurtb8474 No, that may have contributed but his real lead to his demise was when he did the movie The Conqueror. They were filming in Saint George Utah 100 miles down wind from where they were doing nucular tests in that area and half the cast and crew, including Susan Hayward and director Dick Powell died from cancer. Wayne lost a lung and was never the same again.
Love them both and still watch classic John Wayne westerns when I feel the world is getting too crazy. I think Clint Eastwood was able to do a greater range of modern day characters. I think he was at his western best in Unforgiven.
What's your favorite John Wayne western, David?
agreed both great actors but for me eastwood stared in more classics for me good the bad and ther ugly will always be number 1 followed by the outlaw josey wales with unforgiven at number 3
You know you've reached the pinnacle of success when everyone can do their own imitation of you. Who can't do a 'Wayne drawl', or a bad assed, squinty-eyed, Eastwood whisper?
The Duke is a bona fide American institution, and Clint is a national treasure.
Both are great. But after all is said and done, I tend to favor Clint.
Clint Eastwood is the real King of Westerns 🤠
John Wayne the best don’t like eastwood
I'll take the Duke over Eastwood . Any day v
@@donaldshryock2852 the Duke is the same in every movie....too Hollywood ... Eastwood was different

Yeah, John Wayne sucked
@@brodie2005thegamer
I liked North to Alaska but Eastwood king of dry humor and one liners.
He actually won the oscar for True Grit, not The Alamo.
Yes! He committed that he should have worn an eye patch sooner. ;
i love them both so lucky to have watched them both
Ditto.
Let's not forget bronsan
I agree
Both are great! Love them both but The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is my favorite western.
Both GREAT ACTORS.
I think the older folks prefer John Wayne more while the younger generation will lean toward Clint Eastwood. I like John Wayne but Like Clint Eastwood more.
Good point, G Shock!
@@FactsVerse I am an older folk, but I like Clint better.
Grew up with both give duke a little more thumbs up as a cowboy and Clint as a cop
Lived in Carmel Cali when I was a kid for a few years, my mom was Clints pharmacy tech.. I got to meet him several times!! Amazing guy..Only person in a rich ass community driving a beat up yellow Volkswagen bug from the 70s
Oh and even if he wasn't anymore we called him mayor Clint!
@@joeazbill8644 did he ever get the ice cream vans banned? I never understood why he wanted to, unless he was traumatised by the original 'Assault on Precinct 13'

Interesting. John Clark in the Tom Clancy novels Drove a Volkswagen in the book, WITHOUT REMORSE. I always thought Clint would have made a good Mr. Clark back in the day.
I don’t think one can say one is better than the other, they both had their place in the western genre.
Sure one can. It’s be a subjective view, but I don’t see any reason you can’t find one better than the other.
Putting both masters on the same screen would have been a mistake. People would have attempted to compare actors and it would have been a disaster in my eyes... Love them both
I loved them both too, but I don't think so. They put Paul Newman with Steve McQueen. James Caan with John Wayne, etc. And look at the Expendable Series. I would have like to have seen it.
@@whitespacemarines4308 Me too! I loved John Wayne in McQ and Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry. Both non-western films. Would have been a real treat to had them both staring together on the Silver Screen back in the day. Love em or hate em, both are great actors.
The studio kept Wayne from enlisting? The factual story is he requested deferment because, he claimed, his family was dependent on him. His failure to serve greatly annoyed John Ford. Gable and Stewart were far bigger stars than Wayne at the time, but the studios didn't prevent them from serving.
.
I don't believe Gable and Stewart had "official" children in 1941, Wayne had 3, I believe. Gable had a daughter by Loretta Young but it was not acknowledged at the time and was hushed up as Loretta had taken a leave of absence after making a movie with Gable in 1935 and reappeared later with an "adopted" daughter who grew up to look like Loretta's double.. Much, much later Loretta and her daughter admitted that Gable was the father. Wayne's having 3 kids was certainly a factor in his not being drafted. He was 34 in late 1941 so he was young enough. Gable was 6 yrs older than Wayne and he went off to war. Gable didn't have an official child until 1960, the year he died.
John Wayne is known for his traditional wild Westerns and Clint Eastwood is known for his revisionist spaghetti westerns. Its no surprise that these two Western superstars would have different views.
John Wayne is also well known for doing war movies, he also did comedy on The Lucy Show also did Rowan and Martin's laugh in.
The Outlaw Josie Wales was the best western in my opinion followed closely by High Plains Drifter. I loved his line in Outlaw when the bounty hunter came after him in the bar, "Dyin' ain't much of a livin' boy".
“Mr Chain Blue Lightening!”👌
Hell ya outlaw wales best movie ever. You gonna pull those pistols or whhhhhistle dixie.
I agree, The Outlaw Josie Wales is the greatest Western movie ever made, followed by Unforgiven and High Plains Drifter.
"We got the Wales, we got the Josey Wales!" "Watch it Abe, he's faster than a rattler with them pistols!" "Shut up Lage."
That's a tough question I grew up when Clint Eastwood was at his peak and John Wayne was slowing down but I would have to say John Wayne but I could just as easily say Clint Eastwood I love them both equally
It's so hard to pick, Bryan!
Easy better cowboy the Duke better cop Eastwood
Clint is a major legend...plus what a director,he is in another league
Not as an actor, wayne is much bigger
Clint had his cake and ate it to!
Wayne was a much bigger western actor than eastwood.. eastwood is known for 3 westerns by most people. A fistfull of dollars. A few dollars more. And the good the bad and the ugly. Wayne has hundreds of westerns under his belt.. he was also older and doing it for 20 years before eastwood..
We'll see if the united states government strikes a gold medal with his image on it when he dies Atating "Clin Eastwood American" like the did for John Wayne. John wayne'w character waw the same off screen as on and when people thought of America it waw John wayne that caame to mind. He was a lengend in his own time.
They are both some of the greatest actors who ever lived.
No, John Wayne SUCKED
They both can't act.
Great but we all end up in the ground, the Truly Great is God! or Allah! 1 of the same!
@@titusmccarthy Clint Eastwood is possibly the best actor over 90 still alive in this world, and John Wayne was a phenomenal actor at his height, hav u lived under a rock for the last 50 years

Clint Eastwood will always be the best John Wayne was brilliant too I loved all the films they both made my dad will always be for John Wayne he grow up with that me Eastwood it’s like my hero is Gary Numan x
Clint was so much more ''classical'' than John in the Greek sense of the word. Clint's westerns were crude like reality but not senseless. Clint made us wonder and think. Wayne's movies were made to entertain families. They were industrial and conceived to make us laugh or cry. Clint - the man with no name - was not caricatural while Wayne's all acting atitude was merely a 'representation'. Kirk Douglas, too, was deep and would have been an excellent 'man with no name'. I miss Kirk...
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, L.-S. Mutemba!
@@FactsVerse Thanks for the video!
John Wayne made McClintock, a Scottish name with a red-headed Irish star, Maureen O'Hara.
She might have been Scottish. This movie has a big Broadway influence, yes, the song and dance.
The natives in the movie are treated as ordinary humans, something nice to see back then.
The are many subtle references to being Scottish with symbols of humanity not seen on television.
You left out a pretty important fact about an old man John Wayne spent a lot of time with as an extra and prop boy. A man who told him all sorts of tales about the old west. An old man named Wyatt. Pretty sure you can guess his last name.
Are you talking about the fact that John Wayne worked with Tom Minks, who in turn had worked with Wyatt Earp in his younger days (when Wyatt took to producing a Hollywood film or two a few years before his death)?
@@sarlaccstapeworm990 documentary I watched put JW at a very young age and an errand boy who loved Wyatt's stories and that was why we have the 'romantic' view of the old west as seen in movies. Watched that many years ago.
btw way, Wyatt passed in 1929, Wayne was born in 1907. plenty of overlap
probably did get the stories second-hand tho.
@@Rkenton48 right... A lot of ppl don't even know how John Wayne can actually be linked to Wyatt Earp in real life... Wyatt Earp actually co-produced some of the earliest known western movies starring Tom Minks (whom attended Wyatt's funeral), and in turn, wound-up working with Wayne in his starting years... My grandmother was about 13 when Wyatt died. I think somewhere around 29'... I don't know ALL the details on it. But I do know that all 3 of those "legends" can be connected (by association) in real life.
Clint Eastwood is my favorite, alongside Kevin Costner, but still big respect to the Duke
Clint Eastwood for me.. he starred in so many iconic roles..
High plains Drifter
Pale Ride
Good, bad and ugly
Fist full of dollars

I've always leaned more toward Clint, too. I still love Harry Callahan.

but Clint was, and still is, the King.
Thanks for watching!
Clint Eastwood is the most successful actor after John Wayne's death in 1979
John Wayne did win the Oscar as Best Actor in 1969 for his portrayal of Rooster Cogburn in True Grit
And Eastwood won 2 Oscars for directing and 2 Oscars as producer for Best movie of the year.
But he ( as much as I liked his movies) Clint Eastwood was a lousy actor
I would have absolutely loved, to see these guys work together, on at least one movie.
Clint Eastwood was and still is my all time favorite. He was never stuck in one gear. He was open to the changing of the views of the world which helped his career and him grow as a more likeable and well-rounded person. " for Christ's sakes he's the reason why I own a Smith & Wesson 44 revolver 8 inch barrel ported at the tip 😆"
I don't give a lot of stock to the idea that John Wayne would be insecure or jealous of Clint Eastwood - his stardom, wealth and icon status was well and truly set in cement before Clint Eastwood was much more than a lifeguard or paper boy. The interview that he did at Harvard university campus, during the Vietnam era, where the National guard got him to the venue in an armoured personnel carrier, where he took all kinds of pointed questions, even talking about the hairpiece he wore ( a habit he shared with Frank Sinatra ironically - he had long gone bald by 1974) point to his personal honesty, integrity, high levels of self esteem, which I think speaks volumes to his character. I think that they did have seriously different views about how to portray the old west, which were pretty deep seated - and heated. John Wayne wanted to portray the good in people, and to think well of the dead - he met and known people who lived through the last of the Wild west from the 19th Century, and those people had met and knew legends such as Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Doc Holliday, Buffalo Bill, and others, so for him it was a personal thing. His Mentor, Tom Mix, a famous actor who pioneered westerns in the silent movie era, who helped young Marion Morrison get into silent movies, was a pall bearer at Wyatt Earp's funeral. We know that John Wayne met Wyatt on more than one occasion. Clint wanted to point to the darker parts of human nature - and there is a grain of truth that there is a human tendency to want to blot out or forget the bad aspects of the past. Both views have merit - and tend to balance each other out. However - I don't equate left wing v right wing politics as a sign of virtue either. They are just different life perspectives!
Damn this sucks it woulda been 1 of the greatest westerns ever
You’re so damn right. Growing up as a kid in the 70’s and a lover of both of their westerns. I’ve always wondered why they didn’t act together
Yeah I think we missed a lot at that time because of what was back then termed The Generation Gap.
Clint was 20 times better than John Wayne... John Wayne was a fraud.
@@TruthHurtzandHealz No offense, but give it a rest. You've said that in two comments already.
@@wiseguymaybe Yeah. I guess I was a bit amped on this one.. Lol.

Thanks for reminding us, David!
""The Duke" my ass... More like "The Fraud." Glad Clint Eastwood saw through him..
@@TruthHurtzandHealz Sounds like Eastwood was practically begging Wayne to come on his movies.
@@tigerised4849 As if he need Wayne's help to make a good movie. More like Eastwood was trying help save Wayne's fading career or just giving the man some respect.
They talk about Wayne's WWII tours, but show him in Vietnam 25 years later.
The Dirty Harry and Spaghetti westerns were awesome
Supposedly, John Wayne said Clint Eastwood was his favorite actor. Eastwood is not a liberal!
No he's not and nowhere in the video did he say he was. He said that Eastwood had more liberal views for the time and that he supported candidates from both parties,
He was more classical liberal, he has always been in favour of very small government
@@ryanharoldsen4516 He didn't say it was in the video (that John Wayne said it).
Compared to John Wayne he was.
He said he was libertarian, not liberal.
Clint Eastwood is truly my guy
What's your favorite Clint Eastwood movie, Vessie?
My pick has always been Eastwood over Wayne
I don't believe John Wayne was ever jealous of Clint or anyone else!
Clints presence on screen is that of a dangerous man but the audience is looking for the key to his humanity. Which is ambigious. Whereas John Wayne wore his humanity up front and the danger was in pushing him too hard and testing the limits of his humanity. That's why you couldn't have these two competing in the same film. The dynamic has to go one way or the other.
I grew up with John Wayne, but when Eastwood came along I liked his movies also.. There is no comparison... Each were good in their own right at what they did... If I had to pick one, I guess I'd have to abstain from making a choice.. Politics be damn, I watched their movies, not delved into their politics...
What's your favorite Eastwood movie, John?
@@FactsVerse It's a tie, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, the first Dirty Harry, and Where Eagles Dare.. Three outstanding movies..
Two corrections about John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. I've never met either man, but I'm a fan of both. I don't believe and never will believe without receiving first hand proof that either of these two men was "jealous" of the other. As you said, John Wayne did not serve in the armed forces during World War II. I've also heard many others relate to this fact and do the same with Frank Sinatra. I was raised a Navy junior. I, too, served in Navy---briefly, for less than two years (1970-1971) as a hospital corpsman. I've been a World War II history buff since the age of 7 or 8 back in the mid-1950s. I have greater respect for the men and women who served in our armed forces than for any other group of Americans. I want you and anyone who reads this to understand where I'm coming from when I write this for possible public consumption: John Wayne's not serving in uniform during any part of his life (outside of acting) and Frank Sinatra not serving in uniform (outside of acting) is something I'll never hold against either man. Both of these men, in my opinion, made a far greater contribution to our country during the period the United States was involved in various conflicts (or even in peacetime) than either man could have contributed by serving in our armed forces. As a yet unpublished World War II (read specifically Pearl Harbor) historian, I can and will assure you that in WWII, the vast majority of the American people served our country and humanity as a whole by the service these individuals, the American people as a whole, gave during the Second World War. While I've been out of Navy (after receiving an honorable discharge on 10 November 1971) since that day, I've done full and part time work researching U.S. entry into World War II since October 1983. No book and no article yet published that is known to me accurately reflects on the intelligence that senior leadership in the USA had prior to 7 December 1941. This isn't only true of top level commanders---including the President---in Washington, D.C., but also in the Philippines. And, surprise of surprises, our top Army and Navy leadership on Oahu as well. If the book I've been working on (almost entirely research rather than actual MS writing) for the past 38 years is published later this year, it's title will either be: TIME TO REEXAMINE PEARL HARBOR or DECODING PEARL HARBOR. While I've long been "out of the Navy," I consider the work I do and will die do a service to our Navy and our armed forces. Thank you for this video! Andy McKane, Molokai, Hawaii.
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly must be a prequel since it is set during the civil war, while A Fistful of Dollars and For A Few Dollars More are set in the mid 1870's.
I love and admire Wayne, but the music score on those three Spag Westerns you mention, were out of this world. The music from those films is iconic!
Hence why he picked up the iconic poncho (he wore during the dollar movies)in the latter part of the movie,just before the scene of cemetery Sad Hill,duh......

Clint Eastwood - the action just seemed so much more real comparred to Wayne's work, all thow I enjoy Wayne's work as well.
True but Wayne and the studios had to deal with the ultra conservative motion picture censor board when some of his earlier and best work came out.When Eastwood started making westerns in the 60,s the rules had become quite relaxed and liberalized
@@snowblind9065 I didn't mean to infer that it was Wayne's fault (his racist and sexist remarks were his fault) just that I was raised in the 60' so I dug the more realistic stuff.
I disagree I thought dukes were more realistic and Clint Eastwood films were more Hollywood
I loved watching both of the stars and like them equally. They both had their own unique style.
The Outlaw Josy Wells imo is the best ever Western movie made period.
Thanks for watching!
I think Pale rider is the best film,
Clint’s characters were much more to my liking.. Unforgiven probably the best western ever made imho. The Cowboys was pretty good though.. I liked Chisum too but I like more Eastwood movies.
It was Awesome. We all have it comin kid.
@@alward3155 no doubt.. one of the best lines ever

That's right
Duke Bronson eastwood
Love Clint. Johns westerns were good back in the day but cant watch them after watching Clint's westerns
Charles Bronson is my Favorite along with Eric Fleming.
Eric Fleming would have been HUGE
What is an "Eric Fleming"?
It's like comparing Moses and Jesus. Come on the Beatles vs Elvis. I love both but for pure talent in ALL categories Clint Wins.

I loved Clint in the Outlaw Josie Wales too.
Clint Eastwood in a landslide. Actor, director, story teller aka writer plus not a bad jazz musician either. In addition, the sheer volume and breath of work Clinton has either acted or help create behind the camera far exceed the work of John Wayne.
Hands down, my favorite is Clint Eastwood. In my mind, the most entertaining and enjoyable movie for me was The Outlaw Josie Wales. I absolutely love that film. I believe it is one of Clint's best films and bodies of work. It contains everything a good film needs. John Wayne just could never gather ALL of the attributes of a great film in one body of work. He had great films, don't get me wrong, but they were not on the same level as some of Clint's best work.
Definitely disagree big Jake El Dorado Rio Lobo true grit the Cowboys great
@@jerrywoods4066 I also. Wayne starred in an equally broad spectrum of movies, too, with many excellent war features to his credit such as The Longest Day, The Green Berets & They Were Expendable, as well as slightly off-the-beam works such as Blood Alley & The Sea Chase. Eastwood's spaghetti western character was strictly two-dimensional...
The Searchers was a classic
Unforgiven better than all of ‘‘em. But that’s my opinion
clint eastwood line: are youll gonna pull out those pistols, or whistle dixie?
I've never considered the idea of the Duke and Clint together in a Western, because they are from different generations. Now, Clint and Sean Connery doing a mash-up of Dirty Harry and James Bond...
Unforgiven is, IMO, a masterpiece.
Both were great actors... For me Eastwood was more believable in the roles he played.
Thank you for this. I grew up watching both of them and loved their movies. To bad that they never worked together.
Eastwood- "Well are ya' going to join the movie or whistle Dixie?"
I liked Clint Eastwood movies - "Go ahead,make my Day!"
Do you feel lucky, well do ya punk?
His westerns and Dirty Harry simply the best
Clint Eastwood is my favourite, however I recognize John Wayne's enormous talent and acting ability.
Clint Eastwood all the way ❤️
Clint worked in the at the start of residuals-pay for reruns. John didn’t, you got paid for your work & ‘see ya later’. I watched an interview with his son & he said what he remembers most was his Dad pacing saying ‘The bank account is low, I must make another movie soon’. Due the times, Clint got paid long after
When I was a kid I watched more than a few john Wayne films and he always played the same part self righteous always the hero , couldn't stand him by the time I was twelve, Clint I've watched his movies a hundred times and ill watch em another hundred times the spaghetti westerns and high plains drifter being my favorites
Good point, Paul!
Wayne was a one dimensional actor.
100% agree Paul. I thought he was a joke in Mc.Q and as Genghis Khan in The Conqueror.. LoL, at least he didn't say "saddle up" in those two.
Actually, John Wayne played himself (or the persona he imagined he was) every time. However, I do believe that he was at his best in "The Shootist". As for Clint, there are many movies I love, but for some reasons I love his role in "A Perfect World".
@@michaelhasenstein7838 So the punchline" A man ought to do what he thinks is best. " That's John Wayne for you Corny 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

My Dad's Favorite Heroes John Wayne,Clint Eastwood And Charles Bronson.
Dad is correct !!!!!!!!!!!!
I always like Clint better then Wayne, but the story I heard was John didn't like Clint because John would never shoot a man in the back, once I think on the tonight show Clint was asked about it and he said I will do whatever it takes to stay alive
Thanks for watching, Wayne!
Wayne was definitely jealous of Clint Eastwood .John was my father favorite , I liked Clint .
how so?
I grew up watching John Wayne. I was always aware that I watching John Wayne and not the character that he was supposed to be playing. Eastwood somehow managed to transcend the stereotyping that he was subjected to. If you read accurate histories of the Old West then you know that Eastwood's films are truer to the actual reality of the time. Besides, "Unforgiven" is one of the grittiest and believable westerns of all time. Who would have thought of casting Ricky Schroeder as a near-sighted gunslinger?
Personally, I like both - and own a mixture of both of their movies.
Judging from my dvd collection, I love both actors’ movies “...with equal enthusiasm!”
I love John Wayne movies
Not me cuz John Wayne was an asshole
Before Marion Morrison became John Wayne, working as a hand in the film industry, he learnt a lot from a tech adviser at the time hired to help with scenes, gunfighting, characters etc. The tech adviser was none other than Wyatt Earp. So as John Wayne became this persona on scene as an upright man, standing for law, order and morals, it's evident where his inspiration came from....BTW I saw John Wayne for real in London in 71/72, my mom and I were just off shot from a balcony fight scene which took place in Kensington Walk, London UK for the film "Brannigan"..
I saw "The Good, The Bad And the Ugly" when I was about 6 or 7 when it was shown on tv. Needless to say, after that, I had a cowboy hat, a poncho my mom made out of vinyl , 6 shooter cap guns and cowboy boots. I thought Clint Eastwood was to coolest guy in the world. So, Clint fan here. John Wayne was great too but from a different era.
At the start of John wayne's career, Hollywood pumped out movies one after another. To stay on top, JW worked and was filmed in many pictures per year.
When Clint Eastwood got into film, it was a slower pace of work, higher budgets and higher salaries.
It's apples and oranges.
I grew up watching both actors and I like and respect them both. However, when it comes to westerns I like Eastwood's version a little more. I always thought that John Wayne's westerns, were similar to the dime novels. They told a more romantic view of the Wild West. If you know anything about history, then you know the wild west as anything but romantic. It was a hard time, in a hard, wild untamed land. Where only the strong, hard, or ruthless survived. A dog eat dog, kill or be killed world. A lot of places had no official law enforcement. Some towns like Tombstone had murder rates higher than modern day New York or Los Angelas. So I think Eastwood's version of the west is a little more realistic.
That's a strange analogy - comparing "westerns" to "dime novels". Only children or the mentally slow read "dime novels". HA, HA
So true well put
So true well put !
So true well put.
John Wayne fought Indians, germans, russians, pirates, cowboys, tough irishmen and woman and generally won.....but his biggest battle that he ever fought not once, but twice, was cancer.
To get a true insight into John Wayne you should read the book, DUKE , A Love Story. Written
by the woman that was with him through his later years until his death. Her name was Pat Stacy.
If you can read this book, Male or female, and not shed a single tear for this great actor then you are heartless. John Wayne died a hard death and while he was diagnosed in earlier years he continued to give us all great entertainment with his movies.
There was no UGLY SIDE to John Wayne in my eyes. Nor in the eyes of his many fans worldwide to this day.
RIP...John Wayne.
John Wayne and Clint Eastwood were both great Western actors, but they represented two different eras of the cinema. And they came of age during different times--Wayne during the Great Depression, and Eastwood during the 1950s and 60s. So it's not surprising that they held differing worldviews.
I liked both of these actors..I think Wayne set a standard and actors like Eastwood took that standard and ran with it. Both these actors were much better actors than they were given credit for.
Eastwood was very talented on both sides of the camera.
You can't expect that someone can actually choose between Clint Eastwood and John Wayne can ya -- well, can ya?
We can't, Marvin!
agreed,,,,,,different genre
Eastwood over Wayne any day. John Wayne was a supporter of white supremacy.
@@JoshMorgantheNinja In 20yrs time your opinions will probably be considered racist, and stupid
@@jcoker423 How so? I am just stating a fact. John Wayne believed in white supremacy. How is me stating a fact considered "racist and stupid"?
Like comparing apples and oranges. I loved them both and still will watch any movie either star was in.
I like the movies with Clint Eastwood much more, more raw and realistic, John Wayne was a good actor but not my type of movies .
Clint was blessed to be in the right place - at the right time. A few passed on the man with no name (Coburn, Bronson, etc.) - Clint said yes to 15K (I believe) - believe the 1st Sergio film budget was 200K (??) . McQueen and others turned down Dirty Harry. Sinatra was set to do the film but broke his hand and backed out. He thought he wouldn't be able to lift the gun.
Both were great in their own ways.
We agree, Lori!
I like both...John Eastwood and Clint Wayne. The Cop and the Cowboy are both American icons. Clint did a fantastic job with both. John did a fantastic job with the later. Never saw him as a cop. God bless both of them.
duke wayne was a legend,he put his views on film and if a man does not stay true to himself then what is he clint makes movies more for entertainment, both actors are at the top of their game.
What's your favorite John Wayne movie, David?
I like them both equally. They are both great actors and simply had different styles of which each was unique. I cannot see one being better than the other, just different.
Clint is still one of my favorite actors I have nothing against John but I just think Clint did it better
2 legends that held 2 opposite ideologies....remember, Wayne was 23 years Eastwood's senior
John Wayne, in most of his films, is usually a lawman or soldier. Whereas Eastwood is always the outlaw/rogue stranger type.
My only complaint about Eastwood is that I've never seen him do an Indian Wars movie. I used to watch Wayne with my Grandpa when I was a kid, and I loved Fort Apache, The Searchers and She Wore A Yellow Ribbon.
I do like Eastwood a lot as an adult though. The Dollars Trilogy, High Plains Drifter and Pale Rider are some of my favourite films, and Unforgiven is a modern western masterpiece.
