The Shootist (DVD)

In his last film, John Wayne stars as "J.B." Books, an aging gunslinger who learns he has cancer. Refusing to die a slow and painful death, Books decides to use the little time he has left to even the score with some old enemies in the hopes he can go out in one final blaze of glory. Moving, and sadly prophetic, western drama also stars Lauren Bacall, James Stewart, John Carradine, Ron Howard; Don Siegel directed this adaptation of the novel by Glendon Swarthout. 98 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital mono, French Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English; interviews; theatrical trailer.
