   Is the Shootist based on a true story?

   • The Shootist is my favorite John Wayne movie, and until recently, I didn’t realize it was based upon the book by Glendon Swarthout. I read The Homesman by Swarthout a few months ago, and was blown away by the outstanding writing and character development. It wasn’t what you expect in a western.

   Is the Shootist a good Western?

   • It wasn’t what you expect in a western. The Shootist was every bit as good and was also a dark story – this time about John Books coming to El Paso to spend his last days with a terminal cancer diagnosis. He is tended to by the lovely Mrs. Rogers – at first reluctantly and then respectfully.

   Is the Shootist a climatic gunfight?

   • The climatic gunfight itself is an incredible performance by an incredible man, and by his creator, Glendon Swarthout. The Shootist will rank with such classics as Shane, The Virginian, and The Ox-Bow Incident, but it is much more than a Western.
