correct. I believe this was his last movie
The Shootist was John Wayne's last movie.
The movie Cowboys was supposed to have been his last movie, however public outcry over the way his character was killed, and after all he is John Wayne an American icon, Hollywood went to work on a movie that would appease the American public, for a more appropriate ending of an elite American {movie} icon.
I find the ending shootout in The Shootist a bit ironic as John Wayne's character is killed, shot in the back by a cowardly barkeeper using a short barreled shotgun. When he and the other last of the gunslingers could have all easily gone done in the hales of bullets being fired.
