1971, 109 MINS, US
CAST:
(Batjac)
Big Jake is an extremely slick and commercial
John Wayne starrer, this time as a long-gone
husband out to rescue a grandson from kidnapper Richard Boone.
Harry Julian Fink and R.M. Fink's original
story and script is well-structured and fleshed
with solid dialog. It opens with a 10-person
slaughter 13 minutes into the film. Maureen
O'Hara, as a strong-willed woman whose husband (Wayne) has long since departed, sends
for him to track down Boone's gang which has
kidnapped grandson John Ethan Wayne (the
star's own eight-year-old son). Sons Patrick
Wayne and Christopher Mitchum mature, in
a manner of speaking, when they team up
with their father. Bruce Cabot's performance
as an Indian scout is excellent.
There is gore spattered ail over the screen.
A Wayne film doesn't have to resort to such
excess. Performances are totally professional.
Wayne and Boone snarl extremely well at
each other. Patrick Wayne handles his role
with a fine cockiness. Mitchum is very good
Bobby Vinton plays another son who has little
footage.
