Anthony,

I'd like to extend a big WELCOME to you, on behalf of all our members here on the John Wayne Message Board. If hanging out with like minded fans is your cup of tea, I think you've found the right place.

In addition to Stumpy's suggestion to check out IMDb's location list, I encourage you to check here often. One of our members, Robbie, is from Ireland; I'm sure he can give some excellent information. Another member, itdo, hails from Switzerland but is well traveled and knows a-plenty about many locations. Just give them a chance to read your question. There are others who are quite knowledgeable as well.

In discussing this topic last year on the message board, my wife and I found the following link, which might be helpful to you:

My Holiday in Ireland; in the heart of the Quiet Man Country

So, again . . . Welcome!

I would like to use this thread to introduce myself. I'm a fan of John Wayne for nearly 25 years. I'm 32 and have had a lifelong interest in American history, as well as the music and movies of Duke's era. I hope to get to know ,y fellow posters and look forward to making my way around the forum.

[Robbie]

Welcome aboard Cole Thornton its always good to have new members who can add fresh input into conversations on this board and I hope you will become a regualar poster.

Welcome aboard Cole Thornton, I assume that El Dorado is one of your favorites. It is one of mine. I just love the shootout scene at the old church, and all the great dialog throughout.

Best wishes,

GSP

Cole Thornton,

I would like to add my welcome to those already extended to you. You have found your way to the best message board related to the Duke, bar none!

I'm curious about your avatar (my wife is even more curious ). It doesn't look like the Duke . . . I think it looks like a young Walter Matthau . . . so who is it?

We look forward to more posts from a life long John Wayne fan.

Chester and the Mrs.

[Hondo Duke Lane]

Welcome Anthony and Cole.

I'm so glad to see you here. We are just a happy group of people here that celebrate John Wayne. You'll find a lot of qustions here on this board, and maybe can answer some we can't.

Keep on coming and we'll see you soon.

Cheers, Hondo B)

Mr. Chester

That aviator of Cole Thornton is of the late great Robert Ryan who starred alongside Duke in such movies as 'The flying leathernecks' and 'The Longest day' although I feel he gave two of his best performances in two non Duke movies namely 'Gods little acre' and 'The naked spur'.

Thanks, Robbie, for filling us in on the identity there.

That is correct! Robert Ryan is a longtime favorite of mine and I particularly enjoy his work in "On Dangerous Ground", "The Flying Leathernecks" and "Crossfire." I've seen almost all of his movies and his FILM NOIR roles are usually his best. He's one of America's greatest (but forgotten) actors!

Thanks for the welcome, everyone!
