The Big Picture John Wayne was an outspoken actor whose career was marked by sharp outbursts about things he felt passionate about. Whether it was politics or social issues, he never shied away from expressing his feelings. Sometimes his criticism would lean inwards toward his own work. He hated Cahill U.S. Marshal, a movie that he starred in that was produced by his son Michael Wayne.
John Wayne's character, Marshal Cahill aka J.D., is then tasked to investigate and apprehend the robbers and murderers with the help of an indigenous American tracker, Lightfoot . Unbeknownst to Cahill that his sons took part in the robbery, he enlists the older son Danny to help him in bringing the culprits to justice.
Still, in Cahill U.S. Marshal, John Wayne's conservative tough love is put to the test. Unlike in Red River, where he teaches his adopted son by way of tough love, in Cahill U.S. Marshal, he faces the challenge of backing down and embracing the unfamiliar "soft father" who must spend time and listen to his sons. He is forced to admit his mistakes and apologize, even if not using the words verbatim. That's a different John Wayne from the one we had seen before.
