"Grapes" is really well done. Jane Darwell is amazing in that. There's a lot of nuance to those movies. Ford could be infuriating - the ending would be nothing more than the soundtrack plays a nicely resolved dominant chord and the credits roll. Maybe there'd be a terminal sentence before that. Maybe not. Ford and Eastwood ( and later Wayne )had a rotating cast of actors - Ward Bond, Hank Worden, others in the case of Ford. The movies Wayne made while he didn't serve in WWII were also almost all overt propaganda movies - very slick propaganda. That doesn't mean you have to hate 'em.
