And how uniformly civil and civilized they were. How genial, how pleasant and considerate they were to each other. How beautifully, but naturally they spoke, and how much they seemed to enjoy each other's company, sharing so many smiles and pleasantries of all kinds...It was an uplifting experience being able to enjoy their company for a brief but happy time each week.

My favorite John Wayne movie was "The Shootist", I also liked "Brannigan". Also my favorite trivia about JW, was when he first got into movies he met Wyatt Earp, when W. E was a technical consultant on the movie sets.😮 Wyatt Earp died in January 1929, a couple of months before his 81rst birthday, J.W. first started in movies in 1926 when he was 19.

Who doesn't, his movies were really great and entertaining

We need more politicians like this governor-elect. He seemed so amiable and didn't take himself terribly seriously.

'The Alamo' had been premiered in San Antonio three weeks before this episode of WML aired. The picture was doing well but was so costly that it did not break even until sold for a TV screening in 1971. Wayne part-financed it and assumed huge debts, taking out loans secured on his properties and personal assets. The stress of making it increased his consumption of cigarets from 60 to 100 a day, though his cancer may have already been contracted when he filmed 'The Conqueror' in a desert area prone to fallout from H-bomb tests.

Writing from the UK. Until I started watching these all the regular panellists were completely unknown to me as was the show itself. It's been a delight to discover all of them. The warmth between them appears genuine and the wit and humour on display is a delight. It's strange to hear Mr Cerf refer to Mr Daly spending 11 hours broadcasting during "the recent election" - I think this would have been the Presidential one where Kennedy beat Nixon!
