Description
Back when I collected movie posters, my favorite contemporary illustrator was Amsel.
He fashioned this creation for "The Shootist," as seen on the VHS version of the Don Siegel directed film.
While dying of cancer in "The Shootist," Duke was not in real life. His entire left lung and several ribs had been removed in 1964; and he was pronounced cancer free in 1969.
The scourge returned in January 1977, with Duke passing away at 72 on June 11, 1979 after having had his stomach removed and much of his colon.
The opening sequence in Duke's final film included excerpts from "Red River" (1948), "Hondo" (1953), "Rio Bravo" (1959) and "El Dorado" (1966).
