In Warner Brothers’ 1973 production The Train Robbers, John Wayne’s patriarchal character, Lane,
outlines the qualities of manhood to the much younger Ben, played by Bobby
Vinton. John Wayne tells the young man
that when you’re a man….
You’re gonna find yourself
standing your ground and fighting when
you oughta run, speaking out when
you oughta keep your mouth shut,
doing things that will seem wrong
to a lot of people, but you’ll do them
all the same…You’re gonna spend
the rest of your life getting’ up one
more time when you’re knocked
down…
