Who else but John Wayne could play Red Adair

Loosely based on the life and career of Red Adair, I find this movie a joy to watch not only because I am a big fan of John Wayne, but also because of the fascinating job of being an oil well firefighter. Yeah, there is some soap to it with the love stories between Wayne and Vera Miles as well as Katherine Ross and Jim Hutton, but its not ridiculous or over the top, and I think the stories portrait how such a dangerous profession can have an effect on the families of the men who do it. The friendship between Wayne and Hutton's characters come through, and the play between them will keep you chuckling, especially when their relationship as friends grows to Father-in-law/Son-in-law.


All Time Classic!

This would have to be one of the alltime most exciting moviesBR>John Wayne ever did.In this movie Wayne plays the role of a character who is based on the life of Red Adair a legendary oil well fire fighter from Texas.

John Wayne is hot tonight.

Yep, it is John Wayne (Chance Buckman) again only this time he hung up his spurs for a read suit. A television announcer asks if that is just fancy showmanship?
Jay C. Flippen (Jack Lomax) gets to do dangerous things like picking restroom colors.
Jim Hutton (Greg Parker) takes Katharine Ross (Tish Buckman) the daughter of Chance Buckman to an oil well fire. And we all know what happens to women that Greg takes to a fire. See Jim Hutton and John Wayne again together in The Green Berets (1968) ASIN: 6300267830.
The biggest surprise was seeing Bruce Cabot as Joe Horn. Think real hard and look real close. Can you say King Kong - Special Edition (1933) ASIN: 078062565X.
This film has all the things you look for in a John Wayne movie and then some.
