message: Under Production, the article states: "John Wayne and Patricia Neal did not get along during filming. Nearly fourteen years later, however, they worked together on In Harm's Way (1965) where she noted that he had mellowed a lot, possibly because he was seriously ill with lung cancer at the time."
I believe this is incorrect. Ms Neal suffered from a series of cerebral aneurysms at that time. She died from lung cancer in 2010. This is clearly and I believe accurately stated in the Wikipedia article Patricia Neal.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.80.115.55 (talk) 02:34, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

message: It would be worth noting that the script was loosely based on the career of Swede Momsen who sorted out the problem with torpedo detonators, though not in the manner used in the movie.  Swede's approach was far more colourful as you can see in the biography entry for him.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swede_Momsen
The script also referred to Wayne's work with undersea rescue, which was another of Momsen's accomplishments with the Squalus.

message: The plot summary of this article was one of the most outstandingly bad pieces of writing I've ever seen on Wikipedia.  It flagrantly violated WP:NPOV, not just with regard to the quality of the film but with reference to the 1948 war.  Somebody who has seen the film and who doesn't have a very strong pro-Israel axe to grind needs to revise it, as all I could do was remove the worst bits.  I haven't seen the film so I couldn't complete the synopsis.  I have to say, it sounds awful.  I am very interested in the history of Israel and in Israeli movies, but Hollywood's record with films on Israeli subjects is not good. Lexo (talk) 17:07, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: POV

message: This movie has long been portrayed as a historical "biography" of Col. David Marcus. -- as the opening credits report: "The major events in (the movie) actually happened. ... The major characters actually lived." Of course, there's too much Hollywood war-movie show-biz in this "big" motion picture for it to all be exactly true.  This seemingly calls for a "Historical accuracy" section, that documents how accurate the show is, to the historical truth -- and how misleading or falsely dramatized. 
For sources, I'd suggest:
* this article in the official U.S. Army journal Army History, Winter 2016, and 
* this memoir of one of his wartime colleagues, "My Service With Colonel David Marcus" by John J. Maginnis, and
* this booklet about him -- Col. David ("Mickey") Marcus: A Soldier for all Humanity based on interviews with his acquaintances, conducted by Zipporah Porath, for the American Veterans of Israel Corp. (AVI) and the American Jewish Historical Society
While these sources all clearly lionize Marcus, perhaps somewhat beyond pure facts, they nevertheless appear more restrained and reserved than the laudatory movie and book Cast a Giant Shadow -- and appear to call into question some of that movie / book duo's more dramatic assertions.

Also, he was 5'6", an important point. He tried harder than the big guys in all he did: Football, his life, his career.

Talk:Chisum

message: I just finished watching this movie yesterday and it was one of the best westerns I've ever seen; however, the climax had plot holes and the feel-good dinner scene at the very end left me unhappy. I would therefore like editors to be on lookout for any citable reviews or cast interviews for the article's Reception section that might explain or provide criticism of the following:
* Why did the sheriff set the general store/bank on fire just across the street from them when it had dynamite in it. No one in the store bothered to shout out that fact as a reason not to torch the building. Wouldn't dynamite explode in a fire?
* How did the fire jump to the building across the street where John Wayne and Forrest Tucker had their epic fight?
* Why did no one bother to organize a fire brigade at the end? With the town burning and dynamite inside, they just stood around looking pensive for the camera.
* The biggest omission is the lack of mention at the end of what happened to Linda Day's character, whose lawyer-storekeeper husband, played by Andrew Prine, was killed in the gunfight. They could have said she went back east, but there was nothing. I'm wondering if there is a scene that was cut out of the movie at the end because they wanted to end on a high note. Her character just disappears. Maybe Linda Day gave an interview somewhere. She married castmate actor Christopher George a few months before Chisum was released.
I'd like to know if any movie reviewers or cast members commented on these problems in an otherwise excellent film. 5Q5 (talk) 17:26, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

message: This was a typical John Wayne--always the tough good guy in the white hat; but his first anachronism. One of the first to show any of his sons, too.  Also, one of the few where he seems surprised (Gun clicks on an empty--big eyes. He also admits being scared--a first for him.) This show of softness is very refreshing.
Wayne's character scoffs modern "improvements"; but bends a little at the "prodigious" accuracy of Chris Mitchum's rifle; and grudgingly accepts the superior firepower of the automatic Bergmann--it Did save his life.70.176.79.198 (talk) 16:14, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

text: Just one correction to your comments.  This was not the first movie in which John Wayne admitted to being scared.  Did you ever see "The Sands of Iwo Jima"?  When they were getting ready to hit the beach, one of the soldiers told John Wayne he was scared.  Wayne replied, "So am I."  The soldier expressed surprise, and Wayne said, "Fowler, I'm always scared!"  Remember also "The Flying Leathernecks."  He told a young pilot that everyone gets scared going into combat.  He said, "If you ever meet anyone that doesn't, avoid him.  He's an idiot!"97.73.64.165 (talk) 11:44, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
