John Wayne Taught Montgomery Clift How to Fistfight on ‘Red River’ – My Blog

Movie star John Wayne and Montgomery Clift were an unlikely pair for Red River, but their casting certainly worked out for the best. The young actor certainly had a lot to learn from the veteran whom he was performing alongside. Wayne once explained how he taught Clift how to fight to make Red River work as well as possible.‘Red River’ pit John Wayne and Montgomery Clift against each other

Red River follows the stubborn Thomas Dunson (Wayne), who works on a successful Texas cattle ranch. He has the support of a loyal train hand named Groot (Walter Brennan) and his protége, Matt Garth (Clift). Thomas brought the latter in as a boy after he became an orphan.
However, things between Thomas and Matt turn sour after the Civil War when they take a cattle drive to Missouri to sell. Along the way, they don’t see eye-to-eye, resulting in them starting to class. As a result, Matt plans a mutiny in response to Thomas’ tyrannical behavior.John Wayne taught Montgomery Clift how to fistfight to make it authentic
The Red River climax pit Wayne and Clift against one another, but there was a noticeable size difference between the two actors. Wayne was just over 6’4,” while Clift stood 5’10” tall.

Carolyn McGivern’s book, John Wayne: A Giant Shadow, emphasized that this fight scene could have looked rather ridiculous. Harry Carey Jr. played Dan Latimer, and he explained how the Western movie legend acted as a mentor to the younger movie star.
“Duke coached him a lot … I’m not sure how much notice Monty took, but Duke never gave up on him,” Carey Jr. said. “[Howard] Hawks handled us with kid gloves; he was nice and gave Duke a free hand. If Ford had seen Duke telling someone what to do, he would have jumped all over him. But Duke didn’t want to out-John-Wayne Monty, he wanted that last scene to be honest.”Carey Jr. continued: “He knew he shouldn’t be able to intimidate him. I don’t think Duke was always right when he told other actors how to play things; he wanted everyone to be ballsy, like him. I’m sure he didn’t think Monty was tough enough, and he was right. He didn’t show much tact when he tried to improve things, but between them, they worked out a terrific scene.”Neither earned an Oscar nomination
Red River was the first time that Wayne considered himself a “real” actor. His performance certainly stuck with moviegoing audiences over time, ranking as one of his best films. However, he didn’t earn the awards season attention that he was expected to receive.
The film earned two Oscar nominations for Best Writing, Motion Picture Story and Best Film Editing. Unfortunately, it didn’t take home any golden statues that night.
Wayne would experience the same disappointment the following year with She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, which he considered some of his greatest work.
The Western movie star would finally take home his first, and only, Oscar win for 1969’s True Grit.

Can you solve this puzzle?

### Puzzle Details:
1. **Frank says:** “I didn’t do it.”
2. **John says:** “Frank is lying.”
3. **Peter says:** “Frank is telling the truth.”

### Analyzing the Statements:
Let’s analyze the implications of their statements:

– If **Frank** is telling the truth (he didn’t do it):
– Then **John** is lying (since he claims Frank is lying).
– If John is lying, that means **Frank** is indeed innocent.
– **Peter** is telling the truth by claiming Frank is honest.

Thus, if Frank is telling the truth:
– Frank = Innocent
– John = Guilty (because he lied)
– Peter = Innocent

– If **Frank** is lying (he did it):
– Then **John** is telling the truth (as he says Frank is lying).
– If John is telling the truth, then Frank is indeed guilty.
– **Peter** is lying (as he claims Frank is telling the truth).

Thus, if Frank is lying:
– Frank = Guilty
– John = Innocent
– Peter = Guilty (because he lied)

### Summary of Scenarios:
1. **Frank is Innocent:** (Frank: Truth, John: Lie, Peter: Truth)
2. **Frank is Guilty:** (Frank: Lie, John: Truth, Peter: Lie)

### Conclusion:
– If Frank is innocent, John’s statement indicates he is guilty, which means Peter must be innocent.
– If Frank is guilty, then John is innocent but Peter must now be guilty.

**In both scenarios, we can determine that John cannot be guilty at the same time as Frank.**

Thus, the only consistent solution appears to be:
– **Frank is guilty.**
– **John is innocent.**
– **Peter is lying.**

Therefore, only one man is guilty, which is **Frank.**

Sydney Sweeney hits back at horrific body shaming comments on viral pictures with incredible response

Sydney Sweeney has posted an Instagram video which included body shaming comments

Sydney Sweeney has hit back at horrific body shaming comments she’s received online with an incredible response.

For famous faces, social media can be an extremely toxic place, and it’s why we’ve seen some celebrities reduce their online presence as a result.

Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney has become the subject of body shaming comments in recent times, and she responded to these on Instagram in the best possible way.

The actor posted a shot clip that began with screenshots of a bunch of body shaming comments she’s received online, including some calling her ‘quite frumpy’, ‘very chunky’ and ‘tubby’.

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell discuss chemistry
After many screenshots of horrible comments were shown on screen, the video cut to Sweeney in her training gear at the gym.

The video cut to a sign that said ‘hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard’ as Sweeney worked hard with a trainer, struck a punching bag and even flipped a large tire in what looked like an extremely intense workout.

Many have flocked to the comments section of the Instagram video to praise Sweeney for her response to the trolls.

“I will never understand the hate in people‘s hearts when it comes to leaving comments like this,” one person commented.

A second added: “Ngl why do people feel entitled to talk about someone’s body specially someone you don’t personally know,” while a third remarked: “No one has the right or reason to make comments on anyones body, ever.”

Meanwhile, Lili Reinhart penned: “It’s always wild to see people publicly out themselves as pieces of shit with comments like that. You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring.”

The video actually concluded with the name ‘Christy Martin’ being shown on the screen, which is a nod to Sweeney’s upcoming biopic where she plays a famed female boxer.

Boxing fans will likely know Martin is a is a former professional boxer who earned herself the WBC female super welterweight title in 2009.

Sweeney has spoken previously about her process of getting into her movie character, telling The Los Angeles Times in March that she’s a ‘very hands-on collaborator’.

“I like being able to give ideas, be a part of it, help come up with solutions. It just changes the whole process,” she said.

Sweeney continued: “It’s so hard for me now to be on a set and not be able to help in any type of way and be able to take action. And being able to actually have a voice and have a valued opinion—it means so much.”
