George Sherman produced this film, and Michael Curtiz directed it. During much of the shooting, Curtiz was seriously ill: he died of cancer shortly after the film's release. On the days when Curtiz was too ill to work, John Wayne took over direction. When the film was completed, he told the studio that he did not want credit as co-director and insisted that Curtiz's name alone appear as director. Wayne performed the same function in 1971 on "Big Jake (1971)," which was directed by Sherman, who took ill during production. Wayne directed the film on the days when Sherman couldn't and agaain insisted that he not receive co-director credit.

In 1971, owing to the success of this film, John Wayne was number one at the U.S. box office for the last time

Don't know how many times I've watched 'The Searchers' but it gets better each time.
