Smile when you say that pilgrim.

I don't think he ever said that.

"When you call me that, you smile" comes from "The Virginian", which John Wayne was not in.

The word "Pilgrim" was used by Wayne in "The man who shot Liberty Vallance" and "McLintock!".

I have not been able to find any reference to Wayne saying "smile when you say that" or variances in any of his movies. Can someone cite one?

I know, nitpick trivia. :shifty:

Ya know Sandman could be paraphrasing - may be something John Wayne might have said?? - We're being too hard on John Wayne, IMO, especially with this topic subject.

What did the poor old 'Duke' ever do to deserve this but try and make movies the best he could?

Happy Hunting!

Your right, John Wayne never said that exact phrase.

He did ues the word "pilgrim" 23 times as you said in the movie "The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallence".

But I just like the picture of him from "In Harms Way". :salute:

Speaking of Pilgrim....lol watch.

I don't always succeed but, I do make an effort not to judge anyone, especially when I know nothing about them or their situation. I did read somewhere, or saw on TV in a biography, that there was a specific reason why he didn't serve in the military during the war. He then made it a point to serve in the way that he thought he could do best and that was to honor those who served through movies like Sands of Iwo Jima, In Harm's Way, etc.
When I first saw this post, I wanted to add my opinion but, despite seeing all those early B/W sub movies, it's been so many decades since I've watched them that I just couldn't remember much about them. It's even been a long time since I saw U-571 but, at least I still remember what a big disappointment that movie was.:D
BTW, I do remember my favorite John Wayne movies. They are "The Shootist" and "John Wayne and the Cowboys".
