Larry P May be my favorite John Wayne film. The relationships with his sons becomes the core of the film, one of them his real son, Patrick Wayne. Youngest son Ethan plays Big Jake's grandson. Naturally, Maureen O'Hara is Big Jake's wife, and apparently a brilliant business woman. One could nearly consider this a sequel to McClintock. Richard Boone is a first-class villain, and has a number of excellent lines. Sharp, witty, fun with the big showdown as the climax. Highly recommend. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Blu B A Western Classic. It's got elements of The Searchers & Rio Bravo mixed together for a old fashioned adventure across the West to save his grandson. And it's got all the Wayne hallmarks for mostly better. The music is excellent is super memroable, well used, and catchy. The acting is solid. Wayne here is doing his thing for better or worse and it works well because the direction is solid, the script is sound, and the execution is really well done. Bad guys are pretty good actually and the other three along the journey are actually kind of good. They didn't just blend in. Granted this is very lighthearted but also serious at times too. There isn't any serious drama between his sons and the fact he was gone so long out of their lives is treated more ligthhearted and comedic than anything serious but it works because the pacing here is fantastic. It never stops with action great vistas, awesome scores, and just keeps moving. The 1 hour 50 minutes fly by here. The editing is really well done too and so it the cinematography. There is gorgous shots in this and the action is really well done and memorable. It can feel a little bit during the downtime where it gives some backstory and setting up the kidnap exchange it gets a little complicated for no reason to just go back to old fashioned gun slinging. And no one really has that much depth. It's a typical Wayne Western if you've ever seen one you know what to expect kind of like a Rock or Segal flick. But it's done so well here and it's just a really good time. Anyone who is a fan of any actors here, the director, or westerns in general should check this out. I'd even say if your looking for a family western too possibly also even though there are some violent moments here. It's nothing compared to contemporary flicks from around this time like Peckinpah stuff though. It does have a comfort/wholesome feel to it that other Wayne movies don't nexcesarily have.
