John Wayne found the character so intriguing and captivating he named the new grandbaby "Ethan." The character embodied traits appealing to Wayne: rugged individualism, relentless dynamism, perseverance against tremendous odds, passionate in his beliefs and predilections yet open to new ideas and revision. A man of few words yet instantly recognized as the leader. Those traits he hoped for his new grandson. It would be interesting to hear the family's account of the naming. The movie of "Big Jake" is one of the most touching of the John Wayne films. The music adds to the gentleness displayed by the burly, errant Grandfather who is on a mission to save Ethan, a grandson he has never seen, from cutthroat kidnappers after a huge ransome. Ethan could add to this biography by recounting words from his Grandfather. John Wayne was noted for giving opportunities to young talent. His pride in being involved in the accomplishments of the young can be seen in the "Cowboys."
