Where to Watch The Shootist
- wonderrxjrJune 13, 2026Hugh!!! So great to start learning about your work man! John Wayne is the most sympathetic gunman I've ever seen. Liked this, maybe I should be like my grandpa and watch a lot of westerns I'm so happy to start looking into Hugh O'Brian's work more. He changed my life with HOBY, so I think it's time I learn more about his work other than HOBY :)
