Wayne could be a very jealous man. He turned down the opportunity to do 7 Men From Now but his company produced it. It was a huge hit and revitalised Randolph Scott's career. Wayne slated it and Scott really badly, even though his own company produced it.

I'm sorry but nothing could ever top the ending to Kevin Kostners, 'The Postman' already a dire film beyond belief (Not the concept itself, just various things in it)
The unveiling of the statue followed by the poetic words of drivel from the man looking on, seeing the portrayal of the child eagerly awaiting the postman to take the letter from his hands, remarks at the statue 'That was me...' with a tear in his eye. Good God. What a load of utter tripe. |

L'Enfant Du Carnival....a silent, remade in sound later, filmed around Nice in the South of France by White russian emigres, starring Ivan Mozzhukhin....it's a comedy, basically Three Men and a Baby....but with the famous Russian-taste miserable ending.....
Discovered to have imbezzled his firm, a clerk runs off to sea leaving wife and new baby behind to face the music. The ship the husband sails on is sunk with all hands. In penury, the mother chooses to abandon the baby on the steps of a mansion belonging to a bachelor aristocrat playboy(Mozzhukhin) attended by his faithful elderly bachelor butler. The aristo and butler, left holding the baby, decide to give it a go at bringing the baby up themselves....much comedy business entails. In a rare moment of lucidity, they advertise for a nanny, which the mother applies for and gets. Months, years pass...there is a mutual but unspoken attraction between the aristo and the mother/nanny...and then the baby falls ill. During the crisis the truth comes out, both of the baby's parentage and their love....the crisis passes, the couple decide to regularise the arrangement and marry.....the end, you would think.... ....but this is Russian comedy; the couple return from the church, to find the original husband has turned up, having survived the sinking after all, and mother and child go off with him!!!! Bastards!!!!
