Rec - much as the Duke often distoibs me too, some of his fillums do stand up to critical scrutiny. The Searchers is full of visual treats and directorial insights, such as the famous cabin-doorway scene at the end, or the excellent self-deprecating The Shootist. The Duke was a lot more more than the hammy method-actor he's often belittled as being, although many of his opinions and actions leave a lot to be desired, being non sequiteur even while he was still alive.
I like Westerns too btw
