Greatest Western of All Time - Nominations

[samjjones]

Just looked up the Searchers on IMDB, and found this in trivia. I need to watch this again.

"According to John Wayne in a 1974 interview, John Ford hinted throughout the movie that Ethan had had an affair with his brother's wife, and was possibly the father of Lucy and Debbie. This meant Ethan's thirst for vengeance stemmed not from the murder of his brother, but of the woman Ethan had loved. This was so subtle that many viewers at the time missed it altogether."
